    Simple one – “Life is what you make it. Don’t become a victim, as it will eat you alive”

    It does amaze me how you can spot life’s victims. But I haven’t yet worked out if they are like that because of what life has done to them, or life has been bad to them because they have that outlook on life. Does puzzle me.

    Rule 32: Enjoy the little things.

    Never pass up an opportunity to tell those you love that you love them – you might not get another chance.

    Nobody lies on their deathbed wishing they’d spent more time at work.

    Buy cheap buy twice.

    Buy cheap tools buy more 1st Aid supplies.

    Opinions are like a***holes. Everyone has them and they all stink from time to time.

    Any fool can be uncomfortable.

    Rusty – I thought it would be a bit unfair, and might get a slightly negative response. Doesn’t cover all situations but some do seem to give the impression the world is against them and have given up.
    Entirely understandable but it just makes me wonder.

    One from billy connolly that has always seemed accurate.

    Oh I don’t know… apart from every single possible conceivable circumstance.

    Anyway, I don’t think life lessons can be taught, they have to be learned.

    Spend more time listening than you spend speaking.

    Stop and appreciate life once in a while.

    If you love people – tell them.

    Always apologise when you are in the wrong.

    Don’t be too hard on yourself.

    Don’t spend your life working.
    Have a bit of perspective, we all have a lot to be happy for and there is always somebody worse off than us.
    Don’t take yourself too seriously.

    Two eyes, two ears, one mouth.

    Whatever you’re doing, always give 100%. Unless you’re donating blood of course.

    Other than that, this pretty much covers it all.

    Never drink at the closest pub to the train station, it is always rough.
    Dress for the job you want not the job you have.
    Employ the rule of thirds when in conversation, talk for 1/3, listen for 2/3’s
    If you’re way under target at work and take a mid week sickie, everyone will assume you’re interviewing elsewhere.
    Nothing is impossible for the person who doesn’t have to do it.

    Learnt by me just the other week

    You know when you are eating your lunch time baguette and it’s so crusty on the top, it scratches the roof of your mouth.

    Turn that baby over and eat it upside down !!

    Now the crusty part is on your tongue and does no harm.

    As an addendum to this; the best revenge is to live well.
