    What's the best advice you ever got?

    I got mine today from VTUD "don't sweat the small stuff". Actually my Dad told me that about 20 years ago when I was accused of dealing heroin and robbing a bank. Glad that all worked out!

    For work....."If you do someone a favor twice, it becomes your job".

    It's true. Really. Help someone out once, no problem. If you do that same thing for them twice (especially in a row), then you're going to own it.

    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

    both come from my country uncle and my dad, but from my uncle its somehow a lot more colorful and pithy.
