Um . . . more advice to live by rather than make music by:
1) Stay regular.
2) Eat plenty of fruit and high fiber foods, they help keep you regular.
5) Never put off 'til tomorrow what you can put off on somebody else to do today.
4) Never spend more than 25% of your vacation time visiting relatives. If they like you so much, they'll use their vacation time to come see you.

One of my faves:
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten...

but you said dont live your life by any of these posts...so doesn't that include yours?netsound wrote:NOTE: This is not advice just a wake up call.
Don't live your life by some wise quote, saying, or any of these posts. Don't live your life in a book. Don't live according to some preconceived or limiting mindframe. These are the very things that distract you and blur your mind from your true self.
Just live YOUR life.
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Oh, hush now! You KNOW what happens when you ask a computer in Star Trek to give you the last digit of pi, or tell it the old "I'm my own grandpa" joke. Want that to happen to KVR?

Scarily enough, the best advice I've ever gotten was just the opposite!Derek up North wrote:For me it was "forget singing - learn an instrument"
My singing is actually illegal in six countries (and two languages)
Regards,
Derek.
My older tunes tended to wander all over the highway, my lyrics provide a structure and I think have helped a lot.. although I sound horrible without using about 4-5 VST effects after tracking my vocals in! 
Second best advice: "Don't quit your day job".

It's not the crap you give away, it's the legacy you leave behind.

From Tony Hendra of National Lampoon comes the wisest advice ever given. Adopt these rules for life and the world will be your oyster. And who hasn't, at some time or another, wanted a planet-sized oyster?
DETERIORATA
Go placidly amid the noise & waste, & remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. Avoid quiet & passive persons unless you are in need of sleep. Rotate your tires. Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself and heed well their advice even though they be turkeys; know what to kiss and when. Consider that two wrongs never make a right but that three do. Wherever possible, put people on hold. Be comforted that in the face of all aridity & disillusionment and despite the changing fortunes of time, there will always be a big future in computer maintenance. Remember the Pueblo. Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, & mutilate. Know yourself; if you need help, call the FBI. Exercise caution in your daily affairs, especially with those persons closest to you. That lemon on your left, for instance. Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet. Fall not in love therefore; it will stick to your face. Gracefully surrender the things of youth, birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan; and let not the sands of time get in your lunch. Hire people with hooks. For a good time, call 606-4311; ask for Ken. Take heart amid the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese; and reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot, it could only be worse in Milwaukee. You are a fluke of the universe; you have no right to be here, and whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back. Therefore make peace with your God whatever you conceive Him to be: Hairy Thunderer or Cosmic Muffin. With all its hopes, dreams, promises & urban renewal, the world continues to deteriorate. Give up.

Learn what you have well instead of buying everything new that comes out
