When I started looking for answers on what to do, even when I found good ones, it wasn't always easy to do what they said. And I know I failed at this a few times. Just having the right advice isn't always enough, you need to be able to do something with it, often times that's what parents help with too.
Edit: my advice to my kids, get and stay educated (don't care how, college is one way), work hard and treat people decently. Don't need much more than that to succeed.
Edit: Dave Chappelle said in an interview that his dad warned him not to go to hollywood, "you might not make it." Dave said "..that depends on what making it is, dad." And summed up by saying that if he could "make a teachers salary as a comedian", he's made it. That's just awesome.

NOTE: He convinces his dad to support him going into comedy. It's brilliant. "I was the first person in the family 'not' to go to college, that had not been a slave." - Dave Chappelle
