I've gotten a lot of advice in life. A lot of it was BS. Some of it was great. What are some great pieces of advice you've been given, military or otherwise?

"Follow your gut." The example that went along with that piece of advice came from my Battlefield Ethics instructor in OCS. He was a battlefield promoted LTC, who high-jacked a helicopter in Vietnam to go and extract his buddy from a fire fight when the chopper pilot refused to go back for them after extracting the then SGT. He was called on the carpet by the BN CO, and instead of a reprimand or Article 15, he received a battlefield commission to Second Lieutenant. The LTC displayed the highest possible loyalty and personal courage, two revered Army values, to do what every soldier should do - never leave your buddies behind. Always do the right thing, no matter what.
