Senior Citizens: What's the best most intruiging insightful advice anyone has ever told you in your life?

hey, im 16 and i find hearing what older people have to say really interesting and take it to heart. theyve got so much more wisdom and experience than kids my age and i have alot of older friends about 50 and 60 that i love so much and was just wondering what advice, spiritual or not that someones told you that you will never forget and just believe with all your heart is true? and who told you? thanks so much.Senior Citizens: What's the best most intruiging insightful advice anyone has ever told you in your life?
well i don't have anything intriguing to offer but my dad gave me some real good advice when i was a teen. when you work-----work, always give all you got and get the job done right, also to help out the neighbors and watch out for the elderly and be kind to them along with the mentally challenged. thanks for asking your question, not a whole lot of teens your age give a darn what us older people think, you are one of the good ones, keep up the good work!!!!Senior Citizens: What's the best most intruiging insightful advice anyone has ever told you in your life?
I learned...


That you take a piece of paper and write down everything you want in life.


If you do not know what to write down, make a list of what you do NOT want in life, and then wait a couple of days and try again. You can then focus on ideas of what you want in life, and write them down.





I then learned that you WAIT for the things on your list to become true for you. Do not chase after them, then they will never happen. WAIT for them to ';come to you.';





As you grow older in life, you will modify your list accordingly. Add things, take away things, as you grow older.





Next, equally important; EXERCISE EVERY DAY. Why? When you turn age 18-21, you are all grown up. What you see is what you get. From 18-21 on, every year you get older, you get weaker. No way around it. But with DAILY EXERCISE, the aging is greatly SLOWED. So when you are 50-60, YOU!! are stronger than every one around you.


Yes, you will be weaker, but not as weak as everyone else.
My mother





told me when I was five not to judge people by the color of their skin.





She explained that people have different skin color just as they have different hair color as they have different eye color. People are PEOPLE.





and it's true.





If i had ';avoided'; people due to their skin color, I would have missed out on a lot of great friends.
Some wise person once told me ';You can't change the past but you can learn from it, the future is not here,so don't worry about it, just give today your best effort and enjoy it.';
My dear Mother told me this:


When you fall in love, look long and hard at how that persons family act. Do Mother and Father get along because, the way they are is how you will live with this person.





And she was correct.
My dad said





Never put it in writing unless you are sure because you can take back the spoken word but cannot take back the written word.
Growing up, my mother said:





1.Let your conscience be your guide


2. Just be yourself


3. Remember the Golden Rule....Do unto others, as you'd have them do unto you.
A mentor once told me when someone compliments you just smile and say thank you.


I had a habit of deflecting the compliment by denying that I had done anything special.
My Mom said, Get a good education, be able to take care of yourself, financially and take care of your teeth,
My Mom: Never let them know what you are thinking.

Missing British citizen in Nigeria... Need advice..?

I am writing this letter out of concern for a British citizen and friend who resides in the USA. Recently, he traveled to Nigeria on work-related business - archaeological related work. He had problems from the very start. Up arriving in Nigeria, he had his luggage seized while crossing the Benin-Nigerian border. He was obligated to pay $2,500 in order to get his luggage returned (his travelers checks were inside of his luggage). It took him two weeks to raise the $2,500 fee in order to get his luggage back. All this time he had no money in his possession. He learned a valuable lesson. One should never leave travelers checks in one鈥檚 luggage.





Next, he deposited his travelers checks in to a Nigerian bank. He was told by the Nigerian bank that it would take 15 working days for the checks to clear the financial institution. All along he thought that the bank would clear his travelers checks sooner than later, so you can imagine how he felt when he was told it would take 15 days. That seemed like an eternity to him. Nearly four weeks had passed and he still had not paid the hotel fee for his stay at the hotel. By then the bill was exceeding $3,000 U.S. dollars. He was being pressured by hotel management to pay his hotel bill or else. He expressed to me that he felt his life was in danger. He conveyed to me that his travelers checks would clear the bank on 19 March 2009. My last contact with him was three days ago.





I do not know what has happened to my friend. It is unusual for him to go this long without talking to me. We always communicate on a daily basis via the internet. He may have been arrested or killed. He may have been kicked out of the hotel. Is there someone who can help him or intervene in this situation? I have no way of knowing what has happened to him. I would consider this a missing person's case.





I have written a letter to the British Embassy in Nigeria but they still haven't replied. Is that basically all that can be done for him?





ONLY SERIOUS RESPONSES PLEASE... Preferably individuals who are familiar with Nigerian laws and/or culture...Missing British citizen in Nigeria... Need advice..?
Have you EVER met this ';friend'; in person or is this an internet relationship? The reason I ask is because you have written the outline of an old Nigerian scam..... foreigner goes to Nigeria, foreigner falls into financial troubles, foreigner needs assistance to get home, etc....





The punch line comes when you're asked to wire money to assist the foreigner to get out of Nigeria. If you do wire money there will be more trouble that necessitates you to wire additional money..... and so on.





Contact the UK Embassy in Lagos, they will tell you exactly what's going on.

I would continue to push the Embassy to help you. Contact your local FBI office and see if they will help.


Nigeria is not a good place to be. I wish you all the best.
You are thinking on the right track, but I don't think a letter was the best means of contact. I would call the Embassy, and keep calling until they are doing something. Nigeria is not a safe country and there are a lot of reasons to be worried about your friend.





You could also try calling the hotel your friend was staying at.


They may know something.











Good luck!!!

  • US citizen traveling to Israel next year. Any advice?

    Will be there about 12 days or so. Thanks!US citizen traveling to Israel next year. Any advice?
    It really depends on which areas you will be traveling through. If you will be staying in tel aviv, Haifa and the like, it should not be any problem. However, if you are going to go through the west bank, be prepared for check points. They are not a big deal, just always have your passport available and don't get annoyed if you are asked repeatedly for it. As for Jerusalem, it has its own checkpoints, and the security in and around the city is tighter than in other areas. You will find the locals, both Israeli and Arab very friendly and hospitable. Have fun.US citizen traveling to Israel next year. Any advice?
    Bring alot of cash in small US notes (10's, 5's, and 1's) for negotiating prices for things you want to buy in the Old City of Jerusalem's Market place and I would suggest pay for you food with your Visa and or Mastercard because you will get better exchange rates in any resturants you eat in while there (or purchases made in Israel stores for that matter).





    Good Luck!!!
    Personally, I would always opt to fly ELAL. Look into it and see what you think. They were the first airline to have 'sky marshalls' on board and of course the Israelis are experienced at defending against terror attacks. There will be more security, of course, and maybe longer delays, but again, look into it.





    As for when you're in Israel: I would suggest making time for Jerusalem. It is amazing. Go to the Kotel (Wailing Wall) and see how you feel with your hand placed against the stone. And do try to go to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial - it is a haunting experience, and explains so much about why we so desperately need Israel to be safe and secure.





    If you go to the Dead Sea, then Ein Gedi kibbutz is worth visiting, it's lovely there!





    Above all, enjoy! Israel is unique. If you want to read a really good novel about how the country was established, then try Exodus, by Leon Uris. Wonderful read.
    Have fun, and visit as much as possible!


    Don't just stay in the cities, such as Tel Aviv, or Jerusalem, but also try to get to the places of rural beauty such as ein gedi, masada, rosh hanikra, the dead sea. While not too rural, eilat is also very fun!
    Eat falafel, watch the sun set, and never pay more than half of the asking price of any item in the old city.
    I just came back after a three month stay.


    Was treated with respect by Jews and Muslims, I stayed away from talking politics, found reality is not as portrayed by our TV. Life seems pleasant inside Israel, visiting Nazareth and Bethlehem I saw the local Arabs and they are like the Israelis of Tel-Aviv. No bullets were not flying in the air.


    You must see Kapernaum on the shore of the Sea of Galelee, don't miss the Dead Sea.
    Make sure you dont get jipped if paying in American dollars. Know the current value of a dollar and dont settle for anything lower. Most daily newspapers will have the newest exchange rate between dollars and shekalim (it's always changing)

    I am a us citizen thinking of moving to australia, any advice?

    Your first concern will be getting a work visa...very difficult to do. You must have a badly needed skill...and then it can easily take 2 to 3 years to get the visa. You may want to check into a working holiday in Australia...this is a new program between Australia and the U.S. and would allow you to visit and work there for up to a year. See 1st site below. See 2nd site to read requirements for work and residence visas.I am a us citizen thinking of moving to australia, any advice?
    Yes, do it! I moved to Australia about 10 years ago from New York and it's been great. No major regrets and I've been able to accomplish things here that I never could have in the US.





    You're probably drawn to Australia because of the lifestyle (safety, job security, work/life balance, outdoor activities, etc) so I won't go on and on about that. Suffice it to say, the quality of life is much better here. Sure, taxes are probably higher here but I look at it as paying for more social stability.





    I believe that gaining permanent residence is difficult but the working holiday arrangements between Australia and the US (mentioned in another answer) might be a way to get your foot in the door. My wife is Australian so that made getting permanent residence relatively easy.





    If you are a professional or have some skills that Australia needs, the link below gives some info on getting in on the general skilled migration program.





    Now for some of the negatives. Housing is expensive here (compared to all but the most expensive cities in the US). The US$ is weak now so if you're bringing US$ with you, you won't get as much as you would have a few years ago. Cars and gasoline are also more expensive here. You'd also be pretty far from your family and friends in the US.





    Can't think of anything else.I am a us citizen thinking of moving to australia, any advice?
    Advice? Be yourself and come on down we'd love to have you.


    If you were anything but American i'd say learn the language but you already know it. Having said that, you might still need to learn some of the Aussie slang.


    For example, i said to an American who was staying with me a while ago ';one Mud Slide will probably get you pissed'; to which she responded ';why would drinking a Mud Slide make me pissed off?';


    Pissed in Aussie lingo means drunk.


    There are many words like that which have different meanings but you'll learn 'em real quick.
    why? I know several Aussies who are struggling to get HERE! (USA)


    taxes are high, the government is restrictive (more so than ours is now) and you are quite limited in a number of ways.


    They only except people using a matrix. Age, income level, education, whether or not they have a need for your skills etc.


    if you want to go, good luck.


    why don't you get a temp job working over there for an American company first and see how you like it?
    My family just moved down. We aren't american citizens though, but we have green-cards. We're british citizens, so it might be different. u need a temporary visa, or a permenant visa, whichever. it is hared 2 get a permenant than a temporary though. wen u get here, its not that different. school yr starts in jan though, thats odd. and right now its fall, cuz the seasons r reversed. just have fun and dont pretend 2 be australian (i really pissed some people off)
    Why move??





    Are you not happy with the USA?





    If, you think the USA is bad wait till you come to Australia, everythings upside down literally!!!! Hence the the nickname ';the land down under';.
    the right visa


    plenty of us $


    25kg of baggage so you wont be return back to us.


    if you are thinking of moving here,then that's the best thing you will ever do.welcome cuz.enjoy your stay in australia.
    I would if I had the money. I love it there I visited in Sydney in 2000 and I left my heart at the Sydney harbour bridge. It's so beautiful there and the people are very friendly.
    Sure, do it! The best country in the world. No major gun problems and the right to a fair go. fantastic place.
    stay where you are? like we need more yanks cluttering up the streets.
    Do it!
    Save some money
    Take lots of anti venom with you!

    Advice on marrying a turkish Citizen?

    hi i am british wanting to marry my turkish boyfriend please can any one give me advice on what i need and what will need to be done once i arrive in turkey thanksAdvice on marrying a turkish Citizen?
    I am really bored of those people who make funny jokes about Turkey. We call our country T眉rkiye, so we don't eat it on Thanksgiving. Anyways..





    Turkey has a very close culture to western Europe, especially Italy, Spain and Potugal. And is nearly same as Greece. There is this difference, most people are Muslims. People are warm, friendly and helpful. If they know you are new in Turkey, they will all try to help you in customs, traditions, etc.





    Once you decide to live in Turkey, learn Turkish. It is essential because many people speaks English but a broken one. So that may cause problems.





    Then, small cities are peaceful while big cities are complex. But especially hospitals are better in big cities. And get yourself prepared to traffic.





    If you get bored to live in Turkey one day, take a trip to another city. Turkey is one of the most beautiful and most interesting countries over the world.

    Is there any point in calling the citizens advice bureau?

    i want to call about my legal rights regarding something that will cost me like 拢150, ive been on hold for AGES by the time i get thru to them- if they answer ever, i will probably be clocking up loads on my daytime phone bill, should i just forget calling them?Is there any point in calling the citizens advice bureau?
    They would only refer you to another professional anyways.





    You'd be better off seeing a solicitor for a free 30 minute chat. If it's a legal matter.Is there any point in calling the citizens advice bureau?
    hi, i work for CAB and know first hand how frustrating it can be not being able to get through on the phone when you are desperate for advice.





    the problem is mainly due to the fact that each bureau is a charity who relies heavily on funding and volunteers, and more often than not there just aren't the resources for people to man the phones or deal with messages.





    my best advice at this stage would be to pop along to the bureau - you can search for the nearest and find the opening hours on the link below. if they are not open for drop0in advice they may be able to give you an appointment.


    http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/ - there may also be some basic info/advice you need on the website.





    there is also this advice website which is much more helpful and informative! http://www.advicenow.org.uk/





    another alternative is finding your nearest law centre http://www.lawcentres.org.uk/lawcentres/





    I hope this helps, and feel free to drop me an email as i may be able to give you some basic info or signpost you to the right place. Rebecca x
