What's the best advice you were ever given?

The best advice given to me was from a good friend who has since passed away:





';Although it is not your fault that you are 'the way you are', when 'the way you are' has a direct negative impact upon yourself and upon those around you, it then becomes your Responsibility to do something to change this.';





Rest Peacefully Mark, I hope you are in a good place.What's the best advice you were ever given?
From a very respected man I know.





';Shut up, kid. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. You should be listening twice as much as you are talking.';





Then picked up from a TV character named Gomer Pyle:





';Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.';





And from the Comic Book character The Green Arrow:





';I'll give up ten minutes after I draw my last breath.';What's the best advice you were ever given?
