Might be nice to have some wise thoughts to reflect on. I’ll start.

A good friend once told me “you can’t always control the situation, but you can control how you react to it.”

Respect everyone but don't respect anyone too much.

I've never been personally been given advice that I can recall being just 'wow'.

Someone showed me how to open a bottle of beer in the absence of a bottle opener if you could call that advice.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

what other people say about you is none of your business

Spanish Eyes · 21-02-2019 11:14PM

Be true to yourself, and don't follow the herd if you don't want to.

Only those who want to control you will be concerned about that!

No matter how good looking she is, someone somewhere is sick of her sh1t.

If it's got tits or tyres , it'll give you trouble at some stage.

Never argue with a stupid person, because they'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Before I read any of the answers on this thread I quickly though I don't know......... But what I do know is that most of the best advice I ever got came from my old man.

Thanks Da.

Sorry about that · 21-02-2019 11:24PM

Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe. (Mam's advice)

RiderOnTheStorm · 21-02-2019 11:24PM

2 from my mother in law (both given on birth of my first kid - who is now a nurse and getting married later this year..... how time flies!)

Quickest way to attract a kids attention is to sit down & look comfortable

If the child is quiet..... leave him alone. Unless he has been quiet for too long!

Don't buy into the corporate career dream. Find an enjoyable job with a good work-life balance i.e. 9 to 5.
