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 comment When I first started out in accountancy
some old bastard who was there to teach us cost accounting and took every opportunity to belittle us said "winners never quit and quitters never win, but if you never quit when you can't possibly win you will never ever win". I honestly hope the old sod is dead.

This is a QotW comment What ho?
I thought it was "assume" makes an ass out of u and me. See all the letters being used. Makes for a much more efficient and sensible shit saying.

Also, there is no e in the word "assumption".
