What is the best advice you have received?

Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

This has been attributed to Bill Murray. - Arguing with an intelligent person is tough. Arguing with an idiot is impossible.

The best advice I ever got from my father. That advice is to take a chance! It applies to my personal life as well as to my professional life. When in doubt about my actions I always remember my father's advice. The last place where I applied my father's advice was a Greek bookmaker's office https://betmasterplay.gr/ I played for the first time and won immediately)))) I think I will continue to do it sometimes

I don't know if this is the best advice I've ever received, but it's certainly the best I've received in my memory. I got it from a book. It was a story involving Professor Albert Einstein (perhaps you've heard of him) In the story, after he gave a talk he was approached by a journalist, and the journalist asked him to spell out the recipe for success. Einstein thought for a second and then said if success is equals A, then A= X + Y + Z. Einstein then elaborated. He said X is find something that you are good at and you enjoy doing. Y means work hard at it. Then, according to the story, Einstein went silent. So the journalist prompted him. 'What does Z stand for?' To which Einstein replied "Keep your mouth shut."

Apparently common sense is not so common. It takes a genius to figure it out. Since I read that, I've taken it to heart. And I gotta say it has improved my relationships. I get along better with my siblings, other relatives, my wife and kids. The only(?) time I open my mouth is when a decision is being made that impacts me. When my kids or my wife gives me grief about something I say to myself "I'm channeling Einstein" or "Serenity now (from Seinfeld)." I've discovered this keeps the little things little and more often than not they fizzle out.

How about the rest of you?

Your "competence" equals your "accomplishments" equals your "confidence".

I really wish i knew this when I was 18 years old...

Pay now or pay more later.

(Context. Buy better stuff upfront; the cheap stuff will break and you’ll end up spending more in the long run, but it can be applied more broadly)

I agree. I learned this the hard (pricey) way. For a home repair, I cheaped out. The repair lasted only a few years. Then I had pay again, to do it right. I figure this item cost me roughly 50% more than it should have. However, I learned my lesson. The second time I had redo the repair, I told the contractor I will pay a reasonable price. And I want the job done right, so I will not have to think about it again. I had no plans to move in the near future. This was many years ago, and I'm still at the same address.
