Name change as doing this with workmates and don't want it linked to my usual account.

We are doing a project on the best advice you have ever been given.

The aim is to start group discussions get people talking. So if it's funny or linked to a song lyric or similar all the better.

Or even if not, the best life advice you've ever been given Smile

Gonna walk and don’t look back by Pete Tong and Mick Jagger.
And the advice? . . Don’t look back. The past cannot be changed. Mistakes are always in your past. Look forward, for that is where hope lies.

I wish someone had taught me this lesson when I was younger:

One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him

Not songs, but I love both these sayings:-

Fall down 7 times, stand up 8 (attributed to a Japanses author)

Speak softly and carry a big stick (Theodore Roosevelt)
