There is some very good advice given to Laertes in this section. Polonius is trying to point his son down the "right path" with this advice so that Laertes will know right from wrong and become a better man. Most of what is said is directed to build off his son's character.
Advise with similar meaning is duely given to many growing boys around the world still today. My parents are the ones who distributed this knowledge to my brother and me. I, personaly, have found this guidance to steer true and be very helpful.
There are numerous times i have used these lessons in my lifetime. One of them has been extra contributive, "Beware of entrance to a quarrel; but being in, give every man thy ear, but few thy voice." An example of one occation is when my brother and i fight. These "rules of life" have taught me to walk away and talk it out later after we have cooled down.
