Best Advice from your Dad

"If anything, just do good in school."

" I don't care what you do for a living, as long as it isn't illegal. Just be happy.
 
"Before you pursue a path, look at the fruits on the tree and see if thats the life you want to live."

My Great Grandpa told my Dad that when he was 18 and he has told me that multiple times throughout my life.
 
I know. I have a ton of respect for my dad. He's a total hardass and gets on me all the time, but I love him. It's kinda sad. He just wants me to find what I'll do forever.
 
I don't have any good one liners from my dad, but there is no man I respect more.

He is the best example I know of a man who loves his wife and family, runs a successful business, gives generously and is respected by friends, family, colleagues, and others in the community. He is wise with what he has and has shown what it means to be content.

I don't know what kind of man I would be without him.
 
Refer to Blake.P's explanation:

He'll give you money so you learn from it (like tuition for college)

But if t happens again, it's more like a student loan that you have to pay back with interest.
 
basically either learn from this mistake and don't go broke again or suffer the consequences and pay me back all the money I lent you plus some.
 
No matter what you do, make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.

Life is about finding out what you like to do, and setting your priorities straight. Theres no sense in going to university or college if you're not sure what you're going to do with it, do what you want to do now and then you can do the responsible things.

My Dad is a smart and intelligent man, when he talks I listen. Theres no way I would have gotten this far with out his help. Hes not much of a comedian so I don't have any funny quotes.
 
" don't do a half ass job" has been drilled into my head since i was about 12. also " if you're going to get a girl pregnant at least do it after your 18"
 
The day I left for college.-

"Alright you're gonna want to have some different experiences in these years. Mess around with a few blondes and get all that shit out of your system, it'll be fun. Then do what I did and settle down with a nice brunette Italian that can cook like your mother."

Thanks dad.
 
"I have three rules in life that you can't break. Anything else is negotiable.

Don't drive drunk, don't fuck without a condom and don't sell drugs"

So far, its worked out well.
 
I'm going to have to remember some of these when my kids go off to college. Thankfully I still have plenty of time.

Once I had the urge to take my dad out for beers after work. I told him it was just going to be one beer, but I ordered a Steinlager bomber and a snifter of Grand Marnier for each of us. It was happy hour and the bar was packed. We were having a good time shooting the shit, and then I noticed that there was a table of girls that were paying a lot of attention to our table. At first I was stoked, but then it hit me that they were totally checking my dad out. Awkward/cool at the same time.
 
One time my dad and I were disagreeing and I said "jesus christ" under my breath to which he replied "Don't fucking swear at me. Don't wearing at me you fucking bastard." I laughed at his hypocrisy and complete misuse of the term bastard.
 
one i can remember that i've slowly been learning to live by pretty religiously is, "i don't play with cheaters."
 
"If you are into a girl, always look at how her mother looks, if shes ugly, RUn!

Every time he and I see an ugly woman- "you stay away from such ladies son"
 
"if you are going to that concert, you shouldnt drink more then 9 beers" yeah ok dad.
 
My dad has never really given me a single statement that has stuck out. There's a bunch of, wear a condom, dont fuck up, take your hat off, show respect, and i love you statements but not one that really stuck out.

Despite that, he has taught me more than words ever can. He has shown me how to be a man, how to work and how to love.

 
Me: "so...how was that stuff I got you?"

My dad: "shit, they didn't have it like this back in college. I was high as fuck after one hit."
