(1) Know your aeroplane well, and its limits (go and find someone who does, and fly with them until you do), ie. Stall, Spin, Short field, X wind etc.
Spend a lot of time sitting in your aircraft on the ground until you know where everything is blindfold.
(2) Know and understand your "OWN" limits.
If you keep both rules you stay alive.

PS. Don't listen to as..oles who tell you about going "first" solo in 20 knots X wind and landing 150s in 35 knots accross.
