What's the best non-flying related advice you ever received?
... a good one from my Grandad:
"Save up to get married then buy a sports car... wish I had"
After all, if you break them they're easier to replace!

When working in MOD - from my boss:
When you come in on Monday, spend the first half-hour prioritising your work. On Wednesday, do the same. On Friday afternoon, shred what's left!

Shred the remainder on Friday Arvo
Jeez Ali B,
I hope that no Air Trafficker takes your advice on, or else I'm taking leave every Friday....

The Roger Bacon column in 'Flight' magazine used to feature ARIAs (Alway Remembered Instructors' Advice). I particularly liked one from a chap who had saved for years for his PPL and when he finally had enough wonga, he went to his local flying school to enrol. Keen to make an impression, he put on his best suit, shirt, tie and shoes and duly presented himself in the CFI's office.
After a discussion about the training and fees, the chap, still keen to make an impression, said to the CFI, "As I'm about to embark on fulfilling my life-long ambition and learn to fly, is there any particular advice you can give me?"
The CFI looked the chap up and down and siad "Yes, never wear brown shoes with a blue suit"

Never volunteer for anything.
Only did it once.
Friday evening. December.
Orderly bod in the guardroom.
SWO comes in.
"Anyone know anything about music?"
"Oooooh me sir !"
"Good. Get outside on that 4 tonner and get that grand piano off the back up to the third floor in the offices mess!"
I say again - Never, I repaet NEVER volunteer for anything.

The Sun - True Story
Don't sleep with Jordan, and then lie to the papers and say that you didn't. Because the guilt will get to you and then you'll have to confess, and then look like a pityful singer (and will still appear to be gay). If you do sleep with her - tell everyone.
