what is the best advice i have been givin

It was seven years ago when i was about to try and water ski for the first time. I was ready to go and they started to pull me up and I didn't make it big shocker but I didn't let go of the rope so I became a torpedo under the water. After I did that for not very long but it felt like forever i let go. Then Kay Lehman who was on the boat said the best advice ever if you wreck you let go of the rope. Then later that day i decided to try again after quite a few tries i made it up. that is the best advice i have ever been given.
