It's also important not to stonewall.
Briefly elaborate?
Stonewalling is starting from the assumption that making any change is more trouble than it's worth, and politely refusing to take the advice as a possibility. Some advice deserves no better, of course, but stonewalling shouldn't be a reflex.
"Thank you" is always a good answer, and then one takes the advice away to chew over even if one thinks at the time that one is dismissing it.
