    If you could give your child(your real child or for the youthful ones, future child) one piece of advice, one pearl of wisdom that they could live their life by, what would it be?

    Advice given to me on my 18th birthday by my father:

    Always make sure there is a shower-mat in your shower. I was shagging your mother in there once and nearly slipped and killed myself. Happy birthday.

    Thanks dad :mad:

    Advice him/her to do whatever he feels he is good at or whatever he feels he would like to do whithin reason, dont trap him into something just because you feel its the best for him , let him be free.

    Do what you want to do in life, don't listen to anybody when it comes to what you want to become. They may think it's best for you, but only you know what's best for you.

    Do whatever you want to do. You might regret it after, you might not. However, it's ALWAYS better to regret having done something than not having done it.
    Oh and nothing is out of your reach, despite what people try and tell you.
