There's not a single best advice to me, it all builds upon what's already established and makes it better. One advice I got from my teachers though, which I think is quite thought provoking is to always do everything the best you can and be honest. Do not cheat with anything. But if you do decide to cheat, do it the best you can and do not half-ass it.
