What is the best advice you ever got? The one piece of advice that stuck with you.
The best advice I can currently remember was given to me recently on here in my discussion about how to get rid of tangles and snarls in my shoulder length hair. She told me to use conditioner and run the comb through in the shower to detangle instead of rinsing first and then trying to detangle after it had started to dry some.
So, if you could give someone one piece of advice to make their life easier, what would it be?

Pay yourself first. I was told that whenever you earn some money put some of it aside for yourself as savings before spending any of it. And what to do with the savings? I was told "Buy low and sell high" and that real estate is the safest and best investment. I still studied 10 years before I bought my first property, though.
As for hair, I wish they had invented Garnier's Fructose Sleek and Shine shampoo and conditioner back when I had waist-length hair.

The best bit of advice I've received is "Don't worry about what happened yesterday or fret about what may happen tommorow just enjoy today".

"You reap what you sow". This was the best advice given to me during my "O" levels period, by a top student. How true it was. I took his advice and lived by it everyday and wrote it down and pasted it onto my board. To me, this was the best advice in my life, which helped empower me.

the best advice i heard, was the nike motto, "just do it." At first my friends and i were joking around and using it but when i really thought about it, and just did it (e.c. my hw) it made life A LOT more easier. Keeping the mentality that ur gonna have to do it anyways and just doing it makes it so much more easier. so yea theres my one advice :D

At my bridal shower, my mom passed around a journal, and all the ladies gave their own advice. The best advice from an adult was to never go to bed mad. going to bed mad compounds the problem, makes it seem much more than it was, because you go to bed not talking, and you stew on the problem all night. My little cousin reminded me that boys have cooties and to never kiss on the mouth. I will have to remember to pull that out now that she is getting to dating age.

There is an advice that stays here in my heart.
"If you want to be loved, make yourself loveable."

Hello!
This is the same question asked during the final of a local beauty pageant here in our place with contestants scrambled to answer the question, so they find the question very difficult?hehe.
Anyway, the best advice I get ever is never give up my work just because someone who also worked in the same company had humiliated me terribly. My friends told me to stick on the job no matter what happen and just ignore the presence of that person because finding a job now adays takes eternity so stick where I am now. I find it very sensible and wise.

One that has pertained and will always remain in my mind and heart, is that along with a great many tips. Was to get use to my New Found Life.
It made total sense and so absolutely true. Life is what it is and well we either deal and or die with it. So based on the entire response this phrase I put into practice daily.
Each time I lose my train of thinking in direction I think back to this.

The best advice i have ever received that truly stuck in my head is doing good to others and expecting nothing in return.

Some of the greatest advice I ever received was about 6 months after I got married. My wife and I with 2 friends travelled to her home town and spent the weekend with her parents. My father in law, (A pastor at the time), looked me in the eye and said, "Son, the devil hates you, and wants to kill you...you're calling will not go unnoticed by him and he will stop at nothing to destroy it..." I've lived on the strength of that going on 20 years.
That really helped me to understand that the Kingdom of God is warfare, and the devil makes no truces and takes no prisoners. My wife and I today pastor a small church in Dallas TX and God is doing some tremendous things through us, pray for us okay? God bless.
