Advice for a Daughter

This is the second part of the Advice pair of postings. The previous one was about advice for your son. This time we look at what have you advised your daughter?

I guess some advice applies at all ages, but others are specific to different phases of their growing up. So share what wisdom you have imparted.

Mothers tend to give different advice to daughters, but I think since this blog is geared towards the St Joe guys, we want to explore what advice the father figure imparts to the child.


Over to you, Dad ...

  11. The French novelist and playwright Balzac once proposed a three part recipe for a full life- a sort of three paths to immortality:

    1) Write a book
    2) Raise a child
    3) Plant a tree.

  21. i know this is supposed to be father's advice to daughtr, but i can't help remembering this popular song .. sing along guys!

    When I was just a little girl
    I asked my mother, what will I be
    Will I be pretty, will I be rich
    Here's what she said to me.

    Que Sera, Sera,
    Whatever will be, will be
    The future's not ours, to see
    Que Sera, Sera
    What will be, will be.

    When I was young, I fell in love
    I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
    Will we have rainbows, day after day
    Here's what my sweetheart said.

    Que Sera, Sera,
    Whatever will be, will be
    The future's not ours, to see
    Que Sera, Sera
    What will be, will be.

    Now I have children of my own
    They ask their mother, what will I be
    Will I be handsome, will I be rich
    I tell them tenderly.

    Que Sera, Sera,
    Whatever will be, will be
    The future's not ours, to see
    Que Sera, Sera
    What will be, will be.
