Wink Advice
What's the best advice you've ever received? I had these randomly pop into my memory this morning, and they truly are words of wisdom:

"Liquor then beer, never fear; beer then liquor, never sicker." Learned that one in college.

Now these may seem silly, but they are really about exercises in futility:

"Never try to teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time, and annoys the pig."

"Never french inhale while standing on your head."

So what advice have you received that's helped you out in life?

"Too much of ANYTHING is not good for you; everything in moderation".

... TOO much water
... TOO much vegetables
... TOO much religion
... TOO much calories
... TOO much restriction
... etc.

(Probably not great grammar, but you get the picture.)

"Life's short, don't sweat the small stuff".

"What goes around comes around." (I love karma!!)

"Don't count your chickens before they've hatched."

"If it sounds too good to be true it usually is."

"To be an effective leader you have to learn to take the emotion out of a situation." (My bosses favorite thing to say....after he had a meltdown. )

"What goes around, comes around"
