To ask for the best advice you have been given

[dogperson05]

What would you say is the best general advice you have been given? Or have given ?

The breathing exercises they teach you for labour are actually for when your toddler is tantrums in Tescos.

When running a marathon, 20 miles is half way.

Great advice guys. Think my favourite is about waiting 24 hrs before sending letter/email/message - great advice. Keep them coming though. I have enjoyed reading through them

I got this from a similar thread on MN a while back.
On attempting to do something new - like driving if you think you wont be able to pass the test for example ...

" Look at all the other idiots doing it"

It helps me at work when I have something to tackle that seems beyonds me and I look at who is already doing it.

Don't worry what other people think of you, because basically they're not thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves, same as you are.

Someone did this thread literally two weeks ago...
