Best Advice You've Ever Gotten?

- Start date
You took mine, but it was more like "Shut the f*** up, and listen to what the hell I'm telling you!!" -sniff- I miss Grandpa.
I have two, oddly enough from my mother, who I have almost zero relationship at this point, and hasn't said anything intelligent that wasn't regurgitated from CNN or The Weather Channel in a decade.
1. When I started going to partied in high school: If that girl you meet at a party is ready to sleep with you after 15 minutes, odds are she's slept with half the guys in that room.
2. When fretting about which engineering discipline to major in: Have you thought about environmental? Problems are only going to get worse and regulations are only going to get tighter. You should be able to find a job easily.
Years later, my junk don't itch, and I've got a job I like.

the best advice i was ever given was three years ago when a mate of mine told me his sister wanted a date and I should go for it.
never regretted it been with her ever since.

Best advice...actually it was a quote from a BBC radio show...
"There is a spiritual impoverishment to doing a job poorly."
For some reason that one has stuck with me for the last few years.

When i was 13 or so, my dad sat me down for "the talk." here's how it went:
"Well, your mother has insisted that it's time for the 'birds and bees' discussion. I know you already know how it works so I'll just say this: 'Keep your dick in your pants and you won't have any problems.'"
I didn't follow that advice, but it is good advice nonetheless. More quotes from my dad:
"If you keep touching yourself, you'll go blind. It's not a myth, I know it for a fact. Look how thick my glasses are." (my glasses prescription is -4.75 in both eyes, so I'm inclined to believe him.)
"Well, she has nice tits, but she's a total bitch, and not really that good looking. You can do better. But then again, I married your mother, so what do I know?"
"You're dating a stripper? The father in me wants to smack you in the back of the head, but the man in me wants to give you a high five."

Your dad sounds like a great guy, Kommander!
This one. And a line from the beginning of the movie, Contact - "Small moves, Ellie, small moves"
My high school football coach:
"No matter how high a bird flies, you can always break a window with a rock"
"No matter how high a bird flies, you can always break a window with a rock"
Awesome movie. One of my favourites.
On topic, hmm, I can't think of a really genius piece of advice. I don't think I take it well.
"Whenever you think you can't... you're wrong".
It is!! I remeber the 1st time I watched it thinking, am I supposed to be laughing at this??
You like... took the quote I had and butchered it into something that doesn't even make sense!

"She might say she's on the pill, but wear a condom anyways."
It's pretty similar to the "better to be over-dressed" line. Basically, always be prepared.
