It was from my mother!
She's taught me so many things. She raised me never to hit a woman. She said that no man ever raises a hand to his woman. You should treat her better than you treat yourself. If you do this, she will take care of you. Would I pass this along to my son. If I had one. Most definitely. I could probably name many others.
Smile, it can get you out of trouble. This was one that has served me well. My mom has a great smile. I think I take after her.

My Dad and Mom
I've had the benefit of some great advice from my folks, and one true nugget of beauty from my best friend.

From Dad:
- No matter what you do, do it the best you can.
- Find a passion. It doesn't matter what it is, just find something about which to be truly passionate.
- Showing someone you love them is always better than telling them.
- Puns are always funny. Those who don't laugh at them are just without refined senses of humor.
- Cooking is fun, and chicks dig a man who can cook!
- Women love men who can be confident in their decisions.
From my Best Friend:
- Only you can define who you are.

What is the BEST advice you have been given? To just be myself but never be afraid to grow as a person.
Who gave you this advice? A family member.
Have you or would you, pass this advice on to others? Definatly.
Do you apply this advice in your own life? Have always tried to in one way or another.

The best actual advice, much as renegade already noted: Listen to your heart, be yourself. and I pass it along all the time because we all need to be reminded once in a while.
However, the other practical advice came in the form of two sayings, one more obscure than the other.
I think we can get there from here... is the most memorable form of Obstacles are what we see when we take our eyes off the goal.
To me the central fact about "who" told me these things (at least, the first time) is that in all three cases it has been a (different) woman I trusted deeply. Sort of makes me wonder if I am not hearing such gems when others say them...

Thanks everyone for sharing.
Kgboot: Great advice from mom. I bet you smiling has got you out of a lot of trouble! (it's worked with me.)
JMJ: I like the advice about finding something to be passionate about in life. Makes all the difference IMO.
Ren: Wonderful advice, Be yourself and never afraid to grow as a person. I try to live by that advice daily.
BG: Fake it 'til you make it! LMAO...I really like that one. I'm sure most of us have done that many times in our life. I know I still do sometimes.
Lobito: Good safe advice to always remember!
LKnight: Obstacles are what we see when we take our eye off the goal. So TRUE! I have to work on that one.
L UK: Taking mental note on your advice for future reference.

I also got advise from both my Parent that I have woven into every aspect of my life.
My Mother told me the most important thing to remember when it comes to the person in your life you Love more than life itself was to always take care of them the way no one else could,and never go to bed angry.
My Father told me the one piece of advice that I personally think is the best advice anyone could give to another person. He told me when ever you are asked a question always be true to yourself and that person will see even if the answer hurts them that you care enough to be honest with them!!

From my dad when I was a kid:
No matter how good you are at something, there will always be someone better than you.
I know that sounds a little odd, but I think he was trying to teach me that there is disappointment in life if you always expect to be the best at everything.

My father told me - and showed me because he's lived his life this way - that one must act as if every day were one's last. One must live and love and play openheartedly, without holding the best back for tomorrow. Tomorrow may never come and all we really have is now to express our emotions, to laugh, to be real and honest with those around us.
My mother told me, and has believed it throughout her life just as i do, too, that people are good if you give them the chance to be so. Not everyone, certainly, and not all the time. Mostly, though, people are good. People care about other people. Everyone everywhere wants just what we all want: to love and be loved in return, to have enough to eat and drink and a secure place in which to live, to do meaningful and personally-fulfilling work, and to do some wild-ass impulse shopping on occasion especially when lingerie is on sale. (Okay, okay, okay. I just tossed in that last bit... it was never part of my mother's lesson to me.)

Re: From my dad when I was a kid:
Cheyenne, I don't think this advice is odd at all! My father gave me very similar advice when I was younger. Never truly understood what he meant by it, until one day I was replaced in a particular job position by someone with more experience than me.
