What small piece of advice you would like to give that isn't heard enough ?
Computer related:
- Don't be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs...
- Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
- Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.
Buying stuff:
- There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
- Buck buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
- Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.

One that sticks with me from chemistry classes: "Hot glass looks exactly the same as cold glass."
Another from chemistry: "small dangers are still dangers, don't underestimate them".
This was in my first uni. The person saying that mentioned how he never saw students harming themselves with cyanide, nitration solutions (sulphuric+nitric - highly corrosive and explosive) or the likes. No, it was always with dumb shit like glacial acetic acid skin burns, or a solvent catching fire.
Reminds me that this is the same logic I use on the road.
As a motorcycle rider I've become a very cautious car driver.
I'm a paranoid driver and I always assume that people on the road are always going to do something stupid. I'm wrong most of the time and I don't mind that but whenever I happen to avoid an accident because I was too careful, it reminds me why I'm always paranoid.
A girl in my chemistry class learned that the hard way. I have never seen a burn blister form so fast.
