What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given, and who gave it to you?

For awhile years ago, I worked as a temporary employee for different companies always hoping they'd make me permanent. After I was made a permanent employee, I would stay for a year or so and then quit on my own because I was always afraid I'd be let go. I went into my boss' office one day intent on quitting again. When I told him how unhappy I was and how unappreciated I felt and how I had quit in the past when I was unhappy with a company he said to me, "Well if you quit every job you have, how do you expect to learn anything?" That opened my eyes to what I was doing. I ended up staying with that company long after he had quit:) I still remember him as being one of the best bosses I've ever had.

Ask me anything
