    If you can’t work out who the arsehole is in a group, people probably think it’s you. Don’t be an arsehole. To anyone.

    Not so much motivational, but words I’ll never forget, shouted at me as I jammed my finger through the bolt holes on a pair of flanges as an apprentice when trying to line them up. Probably a few hundred kg of pipe waiting to rip my finger off.

    In the words of John Acky

    What you doing? Would you put your cock in there?
    (Me, sheepish) No.
    Well divvint shove your fingers where you wouldn’t put your cock then!

    Advice I’ve lived by since then. 🙂

    “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

    a officer at kirk levington detention center, told me, when i was 16, that ‘it is nice to be nice’.

    i have tried to live my life on that advice since that day.
    i reckon most people who have met me, will agree that the advice seems to be working still.

    I don’t usually go in for mantras or words of wisdom, you can’t encapsulate the huge complexities of life in a line or two, but…

    An old boss of mine who I couldn’t stand (and vice versa) once said “if we do what we did, we’ll get what we got” and if I actually agreed with that socket on it I think, it must be good.

    keep it simple, Dave Trott.

    the deputy headteacher at school always said I was the master of my destiny. I think she got it from Henley.
    It took me a long time to accept that.

    here’s the full version.

    Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the pit from pole to pole,
    I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,
    And yet the menace of the years
    Finds and shall find me unafraid.

    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate,
    I am the captain of my soul.
