What's the Best Advice Dad Ever Gave You?

Motherly advice is often driven by emotion and the need to protect, while lessons handed down from dad tend to be more straightforward and practical, applying to the challenges of everyday life, and sticking with you when you need it most.

For Father's Day, our Patch Facebook readers shared some of the best advice they have received from their dads over the years. Hey dad! We're still using it!

"I use it every day. He told me that too many people think they are deserving of their place in this world and that you should never forget the luck of being born in a favorable situation."

“You don’t know what you don’t know”

“Average is Awful.”
