If you had a little brother/sister what would you pass on?

AskMyChocolate

I can't say that I'd have any great advice, bar don't make the same mistakes I made. Pretty futile advice. But I gave him "The Stone Roses" and "Bread". Two great albums. And I passed on the only piece of wisdom our Dad ever imparted before he died. I was sixteen, my little bro was only two.

"If you're ever in a situation with the Guards, you need to know three things.

1) You're probably both wrong and drunk,GO HOME, and if you wake up the following morning still feeling you were right, you can always talk to the SuperIntendent.

2) Mountjoy is full of people who thought they were smarter than the Guards.

and

3) Most important of all son. If you have only the price of two pints left in your pocket, don't ever buy a pint for a Guard, they don't know what it is to buy one back.

So, AHer's, animal, mineral, vegetable, spiritual, mental, emotional or physical; what would you pass on to a younger sibling?

2) If you fight a bear and it isn't the last thing you ever do, tell me how you did it.

1 and 3 are probably wrong for a few reasons IMO.

I love the idea that your dads advice all seems to revolve around alcohol consumption and run ins with the Gardai. It might have been better of him to advise you to "avoid drinking and stay out of trouble." rather than "what to do when you have inevitable run-ins with the Gardai whilst boozing".

Never get a tattoo of a woman, a band or a celebrity.
Always look at the price.
Once you've decided something that can't be changed again, forget about it.
Never buy uncomfortable shoes even if they look nice.

On the OP's question, to one brother I passed on my footballing ability...rovers were looking at him last week and if all goes to plan he'll be with Kansas city wizards in the MLS in January for pre season whereas I'm all but retired at 27

To the other brother I passed on my rugged good looks

Because anybody who tells you something is fact should be questioned. Question everything, make up your own mind.

It's better to always be inquisitive than to just accept something as truth.

Also, I just got that 'why' may have been an ironic response to 'question everything.' Well-played!

* "Never trust a book by its cover"

* If your every in a bar/disco/restaurant/etc and a fight/fire breaks out, don't follow the rest of the other public escaping, follow the staff getting out where possible instead. Chances are they know a quicker, safer way out.

* Similar to someone else here - "If you can't lift her up to a bed, don't put her down on one."

* Never trust a government 100%

* It takes greater courage and character NOT to go with the tide but to stand up against it!
You will be your own better person for it!

* ALWAYS have an escape plan - and a back-up one to that!

I have a little brother and the things I try to pass on to him are;

Work hard and you'll be rewarded. You know what you want do to with your life, even though you're only 12, so go for it and you'll get just like I have.

Never let anyone tell you what to believe in, decide for yourself and be proud of it.

Never stop trying. You only fail when you don't try at all.

Treat everyone equally and with respect and you'll be treated the same.

Lastly I might be 12 years older than you, an adult with a life of my own, but I'm still your big sister and I'm here if and when you need me.
