Hey Pandas, What's Your Best Grandparents' Advice? (Closed)

The world is about labeling today. Just be yourself and you'll be most happy.

Those were the best words from my grandma

My gramps, bar none: "If you aren't gonna eat it, don't shoot it."

there is no point in being the richest man in the graveyard.

My grandparents worked on farms and held fast to a depression era phrase. "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." It's a go to phrase in my family now.

If you ever want to know who you are as a person, look at the people you choose to keep around you. This will tell you a lot about yourself. . .

LEARN OTHER LANGUAGES! Grandmother said many other silly things like "open your wallet to the full moon, and it will never be empty"... but that one was really useful.

Moisturize

Don't ever give up on what you wanna do, even if you're struggling, even if you find it really really hard and difficult.

Don't just believe everything you hear or everyone you admire - question everything and form your own opinions.

My dad to my daughter in the U.S. ALWAYS have insurance.

My grandmother "Always keep your dignity".

Advice, but not in the way you think. My grandmother had passed away and I went to visit my grandfather in Sweden. I was helping clean and he said, “If you put these little balls inside the vacuum bag, the whole rooms , smells nice.”

I knew then that he was starting to heal and take charge of his home, even if a tiny bit. 💕

As wise as both my Grandmas were, the best advice I ever had was from my maternal grandfather who said "When you're in a social situation, you've got every single right to be there, as much as the loudmouth over there, or the hot looking girl over there - so never feel inferior or out of place when you're anywhere" - He's durned right.

Clean the kitchen every night, make your bed in the morning.

Maybe not the best, but probably the funniest:
"Always carve a turkey with a spoon."
-My grandpa, on Thanksgiving

Never date a man if having a kid like him horrifies you...same for a man thinking of his date.

My grandma, who used to be very strict and religious back in her days, turned out a chil lady in her older days.
Het advice to me was
"Don't give a rats as* about what people think or say about you, their opinion about you is none of your bussiness anyway."

Use a flannel in the shower/bath to "pre dry"... Save on time and laundry!

"Sterben gehört zum Leben dazu"
Dying is part of life

.. when I was like 10 or so and my guniea pig died. 20 years later I hugged her on my Grandpas funeral and gave it back and we both cried our eyes out. The situation was sad, but that moment we shared in grief was beautiful

My grandfather told me a man's name is something nobody can ever take from ya only you can make a name for yourself good or bad and this family has a great reputation.
