You only get once chance, so do your best.​

Explanation:

• It is never okay to connect two independent clauses with only a comma (S+V, S+V).  Commas are weak!
• The easiest way to avoid this is to use FANBOYS: 
  • for
  • and
  • nor
  • but
  • or
  • yet
  • so
• Use a comma and a connecting word (S+V, and S+V).
