Advicing

Getting advice or wisdom is a pretty big thing in our village, especially when our elders talk to us. When my grandparents (my dad's parents) talk to me, I'm afraid. I'm always intimidated by my grandparents because they know God's word. They also went through a lot in life with mistakes and learned from them. I respect them a lot for that. 
One time my grandfather, Daniel Berlin Sr., was talking at my house about ways of life. He wasn't actually talking to me directly, but I learned something that really influenced me to be better than how I am today. He said that even if someone mistreats you so badly, treat them with the same level of respect as you do to others. Don't change towards them or get even with them later in the future. Therefore God will take care of the situation in His on way. Also mentioned that God is the only way towards life. 
I try my best to be a good person... as much as I want to... there is so much troubles and hatred as I go along with my life. I think thats the best thing that any person said to me to be the best person as you can be while you are on earth to show the world that you are worth awhile.
