Best advice you've ever learned?

[Guyomech]

These may seem like variations on themes already touched on here:

"Responsibility equals freedom" (From my dad... Took me another 20 years to start grasping that one)

"It's better to regret something you did do, than didn't do..." (Butthole Surfers)

"Regret is nothing but a hole in your balloon." (LSD seraphim)

"There's nothing wrong or egotistical about being your own favorite artist. After all, shouldn't we each be trying to make art that appeals the most to our own tastes?" (Xavi)

"dont be that guy"

A friend of mine is pretty big at the local music festivals around here. Idk how many you are familiar with this sort of scene, but those involved with it generally have theyre own way of dealing with things. For example, if you freak out or become violent you run the risk of being duck taped to a tree until youre able to collect yourself. This paticular friend happened to have a tee-shirt made specifically for her depicting some unfortunate camper duck taped to a tree. The caption below the image reads quite simply, "dont be that guy"

Another good one:
"dont feed the bears"
