Advice people have actually given me, and which I have come to appreciate

"Don't speed."

"Always, always, always look over your shoulder before changing lanes."

"When you pass a parked car, always watch for little feet behind it. One day, I assure you, you will be glad you did."

"Don't ever think about what it 'would' be like if you had just been given a different life, a different body, whatever it is."

"If the Spirit of God suggests that you hug someone, do it."

"People love you the way they want to be loved."

"Don't withhold a compliment because you wish it were you instead."

"Whatever assignment looks the most impossible, do that first."

"Don't try to make everyone happy."

"Don't file your nails into a point."
