Good advice is hard to find

What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?
Answering my own question, that would be "don't close too many doors too early" given to me in a Parents Evening by my Deputy Headmaster a few years ago. He was referring specifically to college subject choices at the time, but I seem to be able to apply this advice to most other areas of life too.

My dad sent me a birthday card with that on once. It helped me keep things in perspective for a while, before I lost all perspective, and has been helping me keep things in perspective for a lot of months now
yes i agree, i'm lucky to live in the world i live in now, i know it could be alot better but at the same time it could be far far far worse so i'm just going to be grateful form now on.
Always can be whilst we'r still alive.
Like take one of my friends for example, over 2 weeks everything was going alright...now he's homeless 10 days tomorrow, life can always be worse for someone else but it can get better too.
Pmsl!!!
Best advice yet!
Not to put a downer on the thread or anything.
Also,
Do not fix what is not broken.
Lastly,
Some American thing someone important once told me that I can't remember. Started with "If you want to be rich, you son of a bitch.." then ended in "paddle your own canoe".
I'm so shit.
Especially if you spill it on your laptop. That stops the whole thing from working :yes:
It has to be "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Which is the same as what Capacity said. I couldn't think of anything better
At the time I was working abroad, by myself, I just found out my best friend was being transferred to a different country and one of my guests had just died in a scuba-diving accident...my Dad sent that to me in a text and looking at it helped. I still look at it now sometimes. And the other day he told me that his Dad told him that when he was younger too, so he was passing it on
Other than that, I also like "You can't succeed if you're afraid of failure". I just wish I could follow this one...
