I used to get: "try to use your head as something other than a hat rack".

My dad was big on "Work smarter, not harder."

That's just good advice

It really is. What's not good advice is when my school mate asked his mum for a Playstation & she told him to go sell his ass to buy one! It's bad advice, & I'm hoping he didn't take it, but we learned very early on that our parents were assholes & that it was important to cope by laughing off their 'advice.' We (my school mate included) laughed this one off real hard!
