If you had to give one piece of advice that is pretty much universally applicable, what would it be?
I wouldn't dare defile Douglas Adam's memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:
- never lie.
- never tell the whole truth.
- never pass up a chance to use a real bathroom.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
Ride smooth not fast has won me some mountain bike races.
I first heard it in the context of carpentry, but I've since heard it in kitchens as well.
βFastβ is the biggest number in a straight line. Life rarely offers straight lines.
Every line is straight in a subset of coordinate systems.
you can be skilled at cornering too, that will make you faster on them
Itβs true, but you need the skill, and buying an expensive car will only get you so far.
