It's a quote from a former boss a lifetime ago early on in my career when I disagreed with a policy or instruction (long forgotten). It's one I always remembered & gave to others along the way. What's a piece of advice that stuck with you?

If something upsets you, ask yourself whether you’d still care about it when you’re ninety.

Don't envy people in love, love is cruel they could fall for a goat.

Just because you get called an asshole three times in one day, doesn't make it true

I remember my father in the hospital as he was dying said "Son, if you can make a girl laugh - you are half way up her leg."
