This is a question Advice from Old People

Sometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.

Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.

Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

This is a QotW answer Hmm.
A wise old relative came out with some of the best advice I ever received, which was this:

Never start something that you can't fini - oooh, look, a cloud shaped like a cock! Fancy!

Taught me all I know, did my Gran.
