Fatherly advice

The advice in the story Hamlet is very valuable and used often. The give every man your ear but tongue few, is used by me....thought i do love telling stories so it kind of contradicts it. The last situation I was in that I need to use some advice that was given to me was when I was at my aunts house for thanksgiving a few years back. I had met someone new and we got talking and they started saying there opinion on a politician and I just kept my opinion to myself(I didn't feel qualified to talk about politics) which kind of confused the guy because he likes picking at peoples brains and finding how the person thinks in a twisted way. So he didn't find out how i worked. He is an alright guy but hes twisted..and not in a good way. When he meets someone new he will talk about politics and about religion...both of which he has a distaste for, just to pick at the persons mind. So in the end I kept my opinion to myself and we had an alright fun time. Another situation where the advice had come in handy was when I met a new friend of mine. (so the fledgling quote will work.) I trusted him but he shouldn't have been trusted, so I learned that advice somewhat on my own. Ever sense then I've grown slightly paranoid about trusting new friends and losing my trusted ones. When I can give advice of my own to people I will, but I also tell them to use it sparingly........like when you use hot sauce, though strangely i use allot of hot sauce....
