We all know a couple we have picked up over the years, pieces of advice given to us or read somewhere, I have a few...

My mother :"Inform yourself to the best of your ability and vote your conscience!"

My father :"Never sit down at a game of poker with more money than you're prepared to lose!"

I have more but what are yours?

People will put up with a lot when they need that paycheck...but they are not always going to be that paycheck.

You may not always be the hand that feeds them.

Think ahead. Don't be a dick.

Never trust a fart;
Never waste a erection;
And if you go to bed with an itchy butt,
you'll wake up with a stinky finger.

I particularly like be nice to everyone you meet on the way up as you might meet them again on the way down.

Or more realistically Ireland is a small country and in a lot of sectors, everyone will know everyone else so the graduate who got mauled, role on 25 years is now CEO or senior manager somewhere.

In certain situations it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt........

13-07-2020 9:31am

People are not thinking about you, as much as you want to believe.

Never pay interest on a loan you didn't take out.

Meaning don't worry about stuff that might never happen.

Fair weather never made a good sailor

You won't know the shelter of the bush until it's cut

Since beer is an acquired taste one may as well acquire a taste for cheap beer

When pissing into a ditch, aim for the base, don't piss into the ditch itself less there be a hidden electricity wire.

A wise word of wisdom noted from watching my pet dog tip his wet tail off an unseen electric wire while going through a ditch.

When I was a young fella and not with the best of confidence.Whenever I was to do something out of my comfort zone.I'd come up with all kinds of reasons why not to do it.But my uncle once said to me,"You've told me all the reasons why you can"t,Now tell me how you can".Always stuck with me.

Outside of Dogs, books are a mans best friend, inside of dogs it is too dark to read.

A good one. At some stage in my twenties I started to realize it was the things I didn't do that I regretted, not the things I did. So I developed a "feck it, go for it/do it" mentality.
