Quote your Dad! Contest - Win 5SBD

in #contest8 years ago (edited)

I was thinking of all the great quotes my dad has said over the years. You have 3 days ( until 6/26/2017)( edit sorry got mixed up.) to post a quote from your dad. The best quote( by my preference) will be chosen and sent 5 SBD on 6/27. 50% of the proceeds from this post will go to the Minnowsupport project.

Here are a few from my dad:

"Don't swat the bumblebee, it is just trying to share gossip." - shared when I was 10.
"If you try to please everyone, you won't please anyone." - life advice for my first job.

Share your quote!

Sort:  

'Don't even trust your dad. '

I was 3 years old and on top of the table, asked him to hold me and jumped towards him. He just let me fall. I ended up breaking my lip open. That was when he said 'Don't even trust your dad.' This is my earliest memory.

"Did you die?" -- for every difficult situation I try to share with him

"Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one is more full"

"Move like you've got a purpose." Then when I enlisted in the Army I realized where he got it from.

Sorry about the edits folks. Not sure what my brain was doing.
Contest starts today. Entries end on 6/26, contest pays out 6/27. Be sure to resteem and vote!

'Like you I was ... Like me please don't be'
This was referenced to not follow his life style.

"Always be open to new experiences. Take what is best and discard the rest" - When I was too afraid to stand in front of an audience in school and sing a few lines coz I had never done it before. Today I am a musician who performs in front of large audiences regularly. Thank you Dad ❤️

What a great idea.

My favourite quote from my old man was "Even the biggest idiot can teach you something".

Wasn't sure if he was insulting himself or me 😂

Anyway, if I win, please put the 5SBD to the charity. Along with the proceedings.

Nice one dude. 👍

God is good, all the time.......All the time, God is good
