Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, 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.

Two fine pieces of wisdom.1) My dad: Marry the person whose bad habits you'd miss.
2) An old boss: If you want a client/colleague to like you, ask them for their advice. They'll be fooled into thinking you respect their opinion.
Number 2 is gold. Have not yet been able to test number 1.
Apologies for length, but I'd really appreciate your thoughts on it.
