    That the only way to deal with toxic people is to not deal with them at all.

    Oh a million times this. The difference between you and your boss is usually that they are more convincing in sounding like they know what they are doing. Confidence is about 80% in management.

    Judge actions, not words. Words are cheap.

    In a relationship, sometimes love is not enough.

    The best skill you can develop is to learn how to listen. To REALLY listen. If you can listen well, you will prosper in business and personal relationships.

    Don't talk about it, just do it. The beginning is always the hardest to start. Once you've started you're away.

    Never try and dress a situation up better than it is. When the circumstances finally reveal themselves to others you are only causing more damage by lying or putting overtly positive spins on things. Just face up to it.

    Confidence is a matter of self perception. So be your biggest fan and make steps to start being the person you want to be. Never ever listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. They don't know you. You know you, what you're worth and what you want.

    That going to college would improve my standard of living all throughout life. All it did was rob me of the best years of my life - with unnecessary pressures/poverty - and pigeonhole me into a world of narrow options.

    I should have been working on building sites and riding every woman with a pulse at the weekend.

    Assholes are not pretending to be assholes. Being an asshole is not more genuine or cool. Its called narcissism.

    Probably the most important albeit cliched lesson I've learned, in both my professional and personal life, is this: Trust. Your. Gut. Always.

    Don't give anyone a second chance to break your trust.

    Ignore the begrudgers unless it's to further antagonise them.

    Leave the past in the past, you can't change it.

    I'm probably going to get myslef into trouble here but let's go regardless.

    The shop I used to work at used to have a lane around back where we all parked our cars... some days the
    neighbor's terrier would come yapping behind me as I walked up lane to car and I just ignored it ....anyway one day the bolloxs bite me on ankle.

    At least I learned my lesson anyway , it didnt do it again after i drove my size 9.5 up its hole with my big work boots.

    And before the pet forum give out at me I could have had the mut put down.

    When the petrol light on a small car flashes it means get petrol NOW, not get petrol after you just pop up the main road through a busy town and get that other thing you came in to buy first.... :(
