What is the best piece of everyday advise? Pick one only.

[spunko]

This section is dead so I'll try to revive it!

Question: What single piece of everyday advice is the best overall?

 

You can submit one of your own if you want,  and you can vote one up and vote one down only. Let's see which one has the highest number of overall up votes. 

It can be anything - as long as it's general/everyday not something super specific or arcane...

One which sometimes applies is the opposite "Never ascribe to incompetence, that which can be explained by malice."
