    1) Be yourself   2) Don't eat yellow snow   3) Who cares?

1. Concentrate on your strengths.

2. Concentrate on your weaknesses.

3. Being a decent (honest & intelligent) human being.

"Follow your passion."

If you do pull it off, life is great. If you don't pull it off, you end up broke, waste years of your life.

So not sure if it's the best or worst advice. 

Depends. 

The guy who made the Lord of the Rings movie mortgaged his house I think and had family members all chip in their life savings for him to make that film ... and it paid off.  

But for most people, maybe it's best to stick to your crappy job. 

 

Like to be remembered ... most people will not be remembered after they go

If you want to be remembered, do something charitable for someone.

Only a few people you really help out will remember you.

Unless you become famous for sth. 

But some people even trash talk Mother Teresa.

most people will not be remembered by the masses for doing something extraordinary.

 

just try to be a decent human being, even though most people will still not remember you.

Confusing

 Worst advice: to put ketchup on my ice cream.

Best advise: to stop smoking cigarettes.

To be remembered for: the last cheque(check) I issued which bounced.

I was sick and chose the best medicine , sadly laughter was not the best medicine.

Worst advice I did to myself, get married, have a "family".

Best advice, I think, is from Bob Marley when I saw one of his quotes: 

Bob Marley Quotes & Sayings (271 Quotations)

 

Remembered? Humans have a very little time to remember you, so dont care for that.
