Affect - the verb, the action being done (to cause change)
Ex:
I affected his life by hitting him with my car.
His life was affected when he failed his exam.
Effect - the noun (the result of an affect/change)
Ex:
The effect of the car hitting him was that he now could not walk.
When he failed his exam, the effect was that he had to retake the course.

When you affect (change) someone, you must deal with the effects (the results).
