The present perfect can be used for something that happened at an indefinite time in the past, or for something that started in the past and continues to the present. Here I understand the speaker to mean that his father told him this (repeatedly) at some unspecified time in the past, and perhaps he is implying that he expects his father will continue to repeat the advice
