Ditto...great motivational clip.........all the things my parents said as I grew up

Plus this one:

If you don't have anything nice to say; keep your mouth shut! (obviously, not under 7 words)

Sit and listen; you will learn more.

Thanks.

Your turn.
i like that advice, gingembre...as they say...one good turn deserves another...

here are my best advice that i had in less than seven words...but more than ten lines...and less than a hundred...

Be slow to blame, fast to appreciate.

Be Still.

Be gentle.

Be on time on everything.

Forgive with all your heart.

Be bounteous with giving.

Keep busy.

Do not flirt, give genuine love.

Be-at-one with everything.

Don't pay interest in advance.

Pay on time.

Read between the words.

See between the lines.

Know what you want.

Easy on the caffeine.

See with your inner eye.

Speak with your inner truth.

Wow! Lots of good advice coming in!

Sidegik, your "All will pass" reminds me of some excellent advice I received, and followed, that helped me through a rough patch at work several years ago: "This, too, shall pass". It's a reminder that bad experiences will fade into the background with time, so don't stress out and think that all is lost forever when things go wrong. I think that this is a wonderfully encouraging piece of advice to give people who are downhearted and/or stressed by problems they are experiencing.

Ya know, reading the contributions so far is (for me) akin to meditation. I thank you all, and hope to contribute when I awaken from this trance.

To solve writer's block, lower your standards.
The enemy of good is better.
Forgive.
Never regret; at one point, it made you happy.
Always say hello and goodbye.

"All will pass"... I think that this is a wonderfully encouraging piece of advice to give people who are downhearted and/or stressed by problems they are experiencing.

Be creative.

Travel within boundary.

Live within means.

Share the positive.

Report good things.

Turn the other cheek.

Be on good terms with all.

Believe in Justice.

Do not justify your existence.

Do not justify anything.

thanks , k9riley99, she is, but dad was the preacher, sometimes....btw, he was an atheist, believe in the Light, honesty, peace and harmony.

mom would say ..."easy on the caffiene, if you can not take it." to qoute you "(obviously, not under 7 words)"

Do not justify your existence.
from dad and the (spiritual) Teachings of Abraham.

Know that you are love.
from mom..."see how much i care about you..." and the teachings of Abraham.

she wouldn't say "don't figet" but she would ask if everything is alright?

i, sidegik, on the other hand is the preacher, dad had my genes...
