Christine Christie Is this sentence correct? Not perfectly correct. "Holds" in this context means "applies", and I don't think that's what you mean.

Not perfectly correct. "Holds" in this context means "applies", and I don't think that's what you mean. I think you are trying to say that you still obey the rule. Maybe "When I was little, I learned that if you play with fire, you can get hurt, and the lesson has stayed with me to this day."
