If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family give heed to my advice with the ear of intelligence. If you do not you will see what God has willed.

At times of distress we all like to recall the advice of fathers and mothers. The best advice my father gave me was to keep faith and deep confidence in the potential of the Greek people nurture the belief that they can do things.

I am shy to admit that I have followed the advice given all those years ago by a wise archbishop to a bewildered young man: that moments of unbelief 'don't matter ' that if you return to a practice of the faith faith will return.

He who is not impressed by sound advice lacks faith.

We can never learn too much of His will towards us too much of His messages and His advice. The Bible is His word and its study gives at once the foundation for our faith and an inspiration to battle onward in the fight against the tempter.

The fear of failure is so great it is no wonder that the desire to do right by one's children has led to a whole library of books offering advice on how to raise them.

His advice to me is basically to just love what you do and don't let the fear of failure stop you.

I have such happy memories of performing in a choir and I don't think I'd have got where I am today without all that experience. So my advice to young singers is to either join your school or church's choir or find one in your local area. Choral music at any level teaches you so much about musicianship and blending your voice.
