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.

don't die when not necessary
"When climbing in a tree, stop unpromptedly when you reach the top."
"When walking into a body of water, autonomously start swimming motion, when necessary."
This is to be read in the handbook for recruits of the german army, which supposedly some old geezer wrote. Still definitely some useful advice i'd say.

Haha!
I had that in my Austrian Army booklet! To be fair judging by the other coonscripts there, such advice is necessary
