Best advice youve had

TheOtherBloke

Ok, what is the best piece of advice youve ever had?.. Mine was from my boss when I was 17. He said.. ' Dont worry about something that you can't change ' i used to be a worrier when I was younger and I suffered from anxiety, but that sentence helped me a lot. So share yours?

I'd say the judge had a different opinion on that though?

When someone asks you a question, before you think of the answer, think about why they asked the question in the first place.

Never expect anybody to do anything you're not prepared to do yourself.

A coworker told me some tips on presentations:

Tell them what you're going to tell them.
Tell them.
Then tell them what you told them.


I was saying this to another friend and he said he heard that in some film. It was the first I heard of it though and thought it was spot on advice movie or not.

Do you lot agree with ' if you want to know something.. Just ask, regardless of how stupid ' i agree with this because life is too short to be holding back. Just ask the fecking question

If someone is selling you something, it means they want to get rid of it.

Not really. Maybe they are desperate for a little extra cash

You'll never help your career with what you say or do in the pub after work, but you can damn well hurt it

Better to have died because you dared death to take you, than to have died because you rolled over and begged him not to.

If you're thinking of committing a crime think of 10 things that could go wrong. If you can think of 10 things that could get you caught then you'll get away with it.

An old saying used by men when out spreading lime on farms long ago. Trailers had to be filled by hand. The back of the shovel carried the bulk of the load. The lazy man would only half fill the shovel and the experienced man would cop it and point it out with the saying.

When someone is raising their voice to you, make your voice progressively quieter. They'll naturally lower their voice in response. Works like magic and a handy tip for those who have to deal with the public.

"Sit at the table"

Something Sheryl Sandberg said originally, was repeated to me before a job interview.

I always bear it in mind before a big work meeting or assignment. And it helps with personal stuff too. Always be a participant in your job and your life, be at the fore, not on the sidelines and never, ever, in the 'back row'.

Shrap

Don't ever feel like you failed, because you're always going to learn something from it. My dear departed Granddad.






*Also, that fill the back of the shovel and the front will look after itself? Stands to reason. If you filled to the back then you've a full shovel, no shortcuts. Easy.
