Tell us the best piece of advice you’ve ever received and who it came from.I’ll start. My grandfather told me, when I was a late teenager, never to buy the cheapest or the most expensive item.

Some years ago, I spoke with a homeless gentleman who had come to the food bank I was volunteering at. He said two things that have stuck with me to this day.
The first being “The average person is just one, to two paychecks away from being homeless.”
The second one being: “It is the curse of man that given enough time, the oppressed, will in turn, become the oppressors.”
