Can you explain this one:  
 
33. Play the point, not the situation. (Danny Seemiller)
 
I think I understand the point part, what distinguishes that from the situation?

not the best tip when it comes to close table play.
/shrug. You'll have to explain yourself on that one. Keeping the ball on the racket is how I control the ball. I.E. making an active shot and carrying the ball forward rather than "eating the spin" and making a passive shot.

I'd heard all of these tips too, often repeatedly :D

Most prominently,

1) Move! Finishing a stroke before in position = bad form. (Not only can the opponent attack a weak ball, but you're caught flat-footed)

2) When looping, go forward. If you go up, your center of weight goes backwards.

3) Games are to eleven points, not to ten or nine. Never give up, even during a single point. Always play your very best.

keep your eyes on the ball, don't anticipate your next shot (except when serving)

If your ball goes long, don't put less power, add more spin.

Here I am compiling our coach(es) best tips.. what we will do is that we need to copy and paste previous tips to make it available for other people to read. please put a hyphen before each tip.

-in order to read your opponent's next move, focus on the racket angle and body movements. this will help you anticipate the next possible moves your opponent might do. getting clues from your opponent will help you decide on what to do next and not get surprised.
-brushing the ball is important as it will give the ball a forward and curved motion. having a curved ball will help make your shots no to go over the table. brushed balls are safer compared to balls which are being hit through the sponge with no brushing strokes.
-the kind of service you will make determines the next thing you must do and not do. e.g. - doing a no spin serve and then when the ball is returned, you will loop it with an open angle
