I was talking to a friend of mine's dad a little while ago (who has been a photographer for decades) and he gave me the single best piece of advice I've ever been given on photography (specifically DSLR photography): he said "you have to shoot the same subject over and over and over until eventually, if you're lucky, you get one that's..." at which point I piped up and said "perfect!", to which he just shook his head and replied "no, one that's good enough".
This really put things into perspective for me - just how different shooting with a DSLR is from the P&S style I grew up with, and also how getting that great shot requires a great deal of patience.
So I'm just wondering if anyone else has any one simple piece of advice that has really stuck with them, I'm sure there's a lot of collective wisdom to be uncovered!
