The one that stuck with me was when I was in my late teens and thought staying out all night partying was what I wanted to do.

He told me "nothing good ever happens after midnight."

I thought the old man didn't know what he was talking about. Now that I'm a bit older and wiser, I realize there is a lot of truth in those words.

I passed that advice on to my step kids when they were in their late teens as well.
