What's the best advice you have ever gotten?

Who gave you this advice? Did you use their advice or did you have to learn the hard way?

Originaly driving advice from my husband, but I find it applies in many circumstances -
"If you are going to hit something, hit it very, very slowly."

When I joined the Navy my dad didnt really say much. 9 months later before heading out to boot camp he came into my room and said "I am going to tell you one thing. You are going to meet some great guys and some real idiots. Stay away from the idiots" With that he walked out. Never have truer words been spoken and I sure have met them both in the last 28 years!

I learn everything the hard way, as I was told early on in life, hard learned lessons are not soon forgotten.

The best advice I ever received was "Don't cheat on your spouse. It's not morally right and it WILL cost you". Unfortuantely it came from my first wife's divorce attorney. Man was he right. Yes, I have learned.

When in doubt, keep your fool mouth shut.

My grandmother (God rest her soul) told me to always treat people the way that I wanted to be treated. I try to do that and if everyone did that, we all would be a lot better off!
