There were two that I really liked and I couldn't just pick one so I chose the one were Polonius tells Laertes"give thy thoughts no tongue" which mean think before you speak and I think that was good advice because sometime you think something and quickly say it and realize it wasn't a good idea to say what you said to your boss for example. The other one was when he said "Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice." that is also good advice which means be quick to listen and slow to speak which is almost like the first one be careful what you say and to whom you say them, because you might say the wrong thing to quick and end up messing up yourself.
Advice that I've been given is keep my head up high no matter what happened in the past is in the past. Look forward to your future be known where you came from and be proud of who you are. I still hold this advice close when ever I feel down or put down I remember what he told me. It keeps me going sometimes I try my best to keep my head high and to keep a smile on my face because I deserve to be.

My favorite quote!!
"My words fly up, my thoughts remains below, words without thoughts never to heaven go." I liked this quote because i totally agree with Claudius. When you say things and don't mean them theres no use in saying it or when your repenting and u don't really want to repent then your basically waisting your precious time.

My favorite version of Hamlet
I really liked the version that was directed by Mike Zefferelli. The setting in the beginning where the army was lined up, and armed ready for combat this scene created a mood and also when Gertrud looked at Claudius while crying over her dead husbands body adds evidence to Hamlets theory of women being weak. The actress that plays Gertrud did well with showing how suddenly she went from grieving to lusting after her deceased husbands brother at the funeral. Then Claudius looking at her as if it had to be done and serious like he's hiding something like a secret....
