Growing up my parents used to tell me so many things and so many times I either turned a deaf ear to what they were saying or I just didn't believe them (mainly because I knew it all). But the older I get the wiser they become and the more I realize I should have listened.
For instance they would say, "The older you get the faster time flies." And I didn't believe them, but now I can attest to the fact that their almost prophetic words are coming to pass. I find there's not a enough time in the day to do what I know needs done and the nights continue to get shorter and shorter because I never seem to get enough sleep.
Mom and Dad used to always say "Son the choices you make now while you're young can affect the rest of you life so make good ones you know you can live with." Did I heed their warning? Of course not...(Another bad choice I totally regret now.) Guess what?...I should have listened!
So if you happen to be reading this and for whatever reason at this time in your life you don't think your parents know what they're talking about...take some advice from a son who is turning 50 this year and really misses hearing his parents voices, let alone their words of wisdom...do yourself a favor and listen and heed their advice so later in life you won't end up saying to yourself, "I should have listened!"
