What is the best advice you’ve ever
gotten?
The best
advice I’ve ever received was from my dad a couple of years ago and since then it’s
been one of my most valuable assets. Here it is, “Everything counts.” So
simple…yet so powerful! Now this advice did not come from me asking my dad a
question, I just randomly noticed one day that my dad tended to say those two
words to me a lot! Especially whenever I was complaining or said, “Oh man that
was such a waste of my time!” I never understood fully what he meant until he
explained it to me one day.
Everything
counts. Everything we do in life adds to our experience and knowledge and helps
us in some way. Nothing is waste of our time because we can learn something
from everything no matter what the situation is.
Now whenever I
think “that was such a waste of my time”
I stop and think back to what my dad said and I realize that even though
I might not have benefited a whole lot from what I just participated in, I did
get a something out of it. Sometimes you just have to look for the good in
order to see it. So whenever you are frustrated or upset that you feel like you
wasted your time…just think, everything counts.
