Call for submissions: advice you’d like to pass on to others.
I recently asked my friends on Facebook what advice they would like to pass on to other people. Below is a sampling of the responses. I think you’ll agree, there are some great bits of advice there. And I bet there’s a story behind every one of them. That’s what I want to hear…what advice do you want to pass on–to your friends, to family, to future generations? And why do you give that advice? What did you experience in your life that made this particular piece of advice so important to you?

Don’t be afraid of making a fool of yourself. Who’ll care fifty years from now?
When you write an angry email do NOT fill in the “To:” box until you are absolutely CERTAIN you want to send every word you have written.
That’s great advice! I always fill in the “to” box last!
Me too! The advice is for free, but I paid a price for the lesson.
I wanted to submit a story for Advice, but it’s not on your new drop-down menu for submissions. I’m sending it to your e-mail address in hopes that the projected “advice” volume hasn’t been eliminated from your upcoming projects.
Hi Terri. Thank you for sending your story for the “Advice” anthology. It’s still going. I just neglected to include it in the drop down menu of the submission form. I’ll fix the form. Thanks!
Being honest is one of the best each of can and should do for lying does nothing but causes problems; heartache and pain for everyone concerned. Alot of the times lies get bigger and bigger and usually out of control. Plus, the truth always come out in the end anyway. By being honest in the beginning everyone will be more apt to trust when they really need help, adivce, or support and they where you stand; there won’t be any hidden surprises; no skeletons in the closet just waiting to come out. We all know the truth hurts and no one likes hearing the truth; but you have to admit we all need to hear the truth; not only to better ourselves it saves on a lor of problems later down the road and it does help keep peace. Who wants to live in constant turmoil all the time. By being honest air always stays clear. You’ll feel better knowing you did the right thing by telling the truth.
My father instilled a message in me from my earliest age, “If you do something right the first time, you won’t have to do it again.”. And he reinforced it many times – when I didn’t do something “right”, I did it again! Although I wasn’t very good at it when I was younger, it’s something that’s served me well in business. Someother random lessons: Anticipate questions and answer them before they are asked. Never backup onto your only backup. Don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions. Why be normal?
