Sometimes, I take my dad for granted. He always has the best advice, but he also takes ten hours to get out a sentence. He just always thinks out his thoughts and advice so carefully that he speaks as slow as it takes me to run a mile (I can’t run a mile), but even though he can be a bit of a bore, he always knows the right thing to say.

Dads are so wise and knowledgeable. Mine is the smartest man I know by far, and I bet you think yours is too! That’s just what dads are supposed to be–smart, wise, and loving. And because the Internet is the greatest thing in existence, there is a website dedicated to awesome dad advice called Dad-isms. And we here at CollegeCandy have found some of the best of the bunch! Enjoy! (And go hug your dad.)

    My Dad is THE BEST man I have ever known. He's away at the moment, but when he gets back some big hugs are going his way :)

    My father was the smartest man to me once… I remember how it broke my heart the first time he said "I don't know" and I had to explain things to him…
    I feel so sorry for him, in my family he is a real patriarch and this must be hard on him. But he is still my discussion partner, in politics and he is smart enough to still want to discuss my assignments. I love him :)

    Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.

Tell us what you're thinking...
