The Best Advice Ever Given In life there are many challenges that may either make or break a person. The journey to overcome these challenges is often made easier by a handful of useful advice. This advice doesn’t necessarily have to come from a much wiser person. It’s the advice itself that is labeled as being wise. Just because someone gives another person wise advice, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the task at hand will immediately be overcome. The receiver must use the advice willingly for it to be effective. Some of the best advice I have ever been given was to never burn bridges. My father gave me this advice when I was a teenager. He found out the hard way that burning bridges can bring bad karma. When he was twenty he was working in the oil fields with his college roommate, Andrew. He hated being off shores and away from home and everyone there knew that. He finally had enough and insisted the supervisors send a boat to pick him up and take him back to shore immediately. The company was outraged and told him he would never work for them again. It just so happens that his friend Andrew rose through the ranks and became a leading supervisor ten years later. My father, jobless, begged Andrew to hire him on again. Andrew did everything he could, but the company remembered the way my father went about leaving and denied every request Andrew put in. When I was eighteen I too had the same problem not liking the current job I was at. None of my coworkers liked me and treated me with no respect. My supervisors just turned their heads when I would voice my complaints to them. They would tell me to deal with it amongst ourselves. Day after day I kept my feelings and thoughts to myself because I needed the job. After a while I could not handle the stress anymore and began to look for other jobs. When I finally received a call from a company I desperately wanted to work for I was so ecstatic about beginning
