My mother always tells me to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground and don't ever think that I am above all. I should be thankful for all the blessings that God has given me.

My mother taught me to that I am worthless and don't deserve love, so I choose to avoid her lessons.-

My mother is an irresponsible alcolholic that can't keep a job and is on the verge of being homeless. From her actions, I learned not to let alcohol ruin my life, that responsibility is important, that one cannot call in sick to work all the time because they have a hang-over, etc...-

It'sbad luck to be superstitious. -
That you always have a little something to give, no matter where in life you find yourself. When my father was unemployed and my mother was supporting our whole family on $16,000/year, she still never missed a food drive or turned away someone collecting for a good cause. When she was in poor health herself and working full time, she still found time and energy to visit my grandmother in the nursing home every single day, and to do her laundry and shop for her. She didn't know the meaning of "not my problem", and that very much shaped the person I've become. -
my mother was a bully. She died when I was young but I remember the beatings and constant put downs. What did she teach me? To be different than her and to totally accept and respect my children. Somehow, by God's grace I have done that. www.cultofdeception.blogspot.com

Okay, I already listed out my parents' timeless wisdom. But one more maybe very useful here. I sometimes got this kind of indirect silent advice..
When I have a problem... (this has no limit: eg: include which sometimes I don't want to discuss my problem with her.) when she silently realize I have a problem ect.
she may ask me this, "do you want to go for a pizza? donuts? or any kind of yummy food in any yummy place? I feel bored with my own cookings. Don't ya?"
sometimes this methods is annoying and have no sense at all but, her cute face and humor makes me laugh/or smile/or she really disturbing my sad/dull mood. She's really an expert in this. She don't ask me anything about my problem and have a complete no will to ask (pretending), she is just a sad mood bully!
