Mary Elizabeth: From my God mother: Learn to say no, because you can’t be everything for everyone. And then accept that is okay. Sandra Beasley: Better to be an old man’s sweetheart than a young man’s fool. Rosalyn Livers Owens: Keep your dress down and your knees crossed. LOL Author Asar: “Never surrender your reason to your passions.” Lutishia Lovely: Can’t say one helped more than another but one that kept me grinding toward my career dreams is “Don’t depend on a man. Make your own money!” Veyshon Edmond: Always respect your teachers, they have something you want. Get a good education, no one can’t take that from you! SB Moss: You would rather be sitting inside an apartment with nothing and nobody will ever know. But if your sh*t gets put out on the curb, then everybody knows. What happens in your house stays in your house .. Rhea Alexis M. Banks: A steady nickel is worth more than a some of the time dime, any day. Dorenda Clink: A lady don’t close down the club, and a lady only gets drunk at home never in the streets. (I wasn’t hearing that in my twenties, though. LOL.)
