Life can be hard enough as it is, so whenever you have an opportunity to gain some clarity or some wisdom from people who've lived it longer than you, take it. Maybe not everything they tell you will be applicable or immediately helpful, but you never quite know when that bit of advice might come in handy.

There are no instruction manual or formal rules to live life (unless you count actual laws and even those can change), but there are definitely things you can keep in mind to improve your experience.
