Advise vs Advice

I always get confused between advice vs advise. The rule for using advice and advice properly:
Advice is a noun, a thing. You give or receive or take advice. Advice rhymes with nice and mice and dice. Advise is a verb, an action--something you do. To advise is to give advice. Advise rhymes with wise and size and lies.
for example:
Advice:The advice that Shyam gave Vidya was useless.
Advise:The teacher advised the students to take the day off.
