If the message is from a mentor or commanding officer, they may give more detailed advice on how to deal with risks. In the latter case, there may be clues dropped about the challenges the hero will face.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Doctor gives his companions (and just about everyone else he meets) this speech all the time. The companions also frequently feel the need to give the Doctor the same speech. It usually doesn't help much. Lampshaded when Yazmin Khan tells the Doctor this in [[Recap/DoctorWho2022CENThePowerOfTheDoctor "The Power of the Doctor"]], causing her to muse that she's normally the one to give this advice. Sure enough, the Doctor is then captured by the Daleks.

** ''Series/Daredevil2015''. In "The Path of the Righteous", Matt Murdock tells this to Karen Page after finding out she's been digging up the DarkAndTroubledPast of [[ComicBook/TheKingpin Wilson Fisk]]. Given that Matt is covered in bruises which he refuses to explain, Karen replies that maybe he should follow his own advice. The trope is lampshaded in Season 3 when Karen admits she likes being treated as an innocent in need of protection, because with her own DarkAndTroubledPast she feels anything but. After revealing to Matt that she killed James Wesley, Karen is not happy when she goes off to do something dangerous and ''doesn't'' get this trope from Matt, who only notes that she can clearly look after herself. Realising he's messed up, Matt gives a belated "Be careful" as she's walking out.
** In ''Series/ThePunisher2017'' Karen herself tells Frank Castle to "Be careful" right after she suggests [[DeathSeeker he might not care about that]]. This is after the events of the ''Series/TheDefenders'' when Karen is still mourning Matt's apparent death.
