The best bit of advice you have been given....
As a child and as an adult...
Child You mother may not always be right, but she is never wrong - My father Adult If you are finding it difficult to maintain eye contact with someone then look at the end of their nose. Unless you are very close the other person will have no idea - My boss (amazing just how useful this tactic is) |

Child - "Don't put that in there!" (I was trying to feed a metal coat hanger into a wall socket)
Adult - "Honey, I'm always right." (My wife trying to convince me of this fact, I'm still learning)

Child: "Always look after your little sister" (my Dad, although this same advice has got me in lots of trouble too
 )Adult: "Don't be loyal to a company if they're not loyal to you" (my Mum, when I got in trouble for doing the right thing instead of looking after my own interests - taken a lot of stress out of work)

Child: Don't talk to strangers. I took this a bit too literally and when I wandered a little way from home I refused to speak with the local Village Bobby when he tried to get me back home!
Adult: Never assume. My advice to everyone: Don't take life to seriously, it sure as hell doesn't take you seriously.

Child: "Never pick your nose whilst playing with super glue"
Adult: "Never pick your nose whilst playing with super glue"  Heh I dunno, so much advice has been given to me in my life which has all been special and useful n someways. Best bit of advice I guess would be to live like today's your last day. I go by that a lot nowadays... makes me appreciate life and it's little joys and tribulations a bit more
