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.

More instruction than advice but
Came from Ma Jugular before she lost her voice....
"Just bloody well get on with it"
This phrase has helped me achieve everything I've set my mind to, because instead of flapping/worrying, I've just got on with it, and it's come out okay.
The only thing it hasn't helped with is deciding what I want to do in the first place.
SIDE NOTE: My mum is dead 'ard, no-one phases her, so when the kids outside are being noisy/throwing stones/being obnoxious/irritating me, I pretend to be my mum when shouting at them as I am too wet to do it as myself. Is that weird?

When I was at art college
I had an older friend - in her 50s - who was also a lesbian and living with her sister-in-law.
Anyway, she used to say, JFDI!
One day I finally asked her what she meant....
Just Fucking Do It!
Good advice.
