to ask what the best piece of advice you've been given was?

[GabrielleChanel]

What would you do differently?

Never be beholden to a man. Stuck to it, never regretted it.

When someone shows you who they really are, pay attention.

Oh, and
You should always be able to stop in the amount of road you can see in front of you.

You don’t spoil by giving, you spoil by giving in.

When you are going through hell, keep going.

If you have a fringe, wash it every day.

That in life..people do talk a lot of shit... (thanks dad)

If you're in a scary place, pretend to be a scary person.

Beer before wine - fine. Wine before beer - fear

‘Pick your battles’ when dealing with kids. Very wise words from my mum.

Drive like everyone else is a bloody idiot. Thanks Dad.

As long as you can pay your mortgage your other bills can be handled.

Never stay more than three years in a voluntary position.

If you lie with dogs you catch flies

Fleas**

You don't really know someone until you really know them!
It makes no sense but is really true!

Don't use men to get what you want from life, work hard and get it yourself.

Be independent.

If you don't know what the hell your doing pretend you do and most people will believe you.

Never make a priority of someone for whom you are only one of their options

This too shall pass

'There's a price to pay for being different, but it's worth it'

Love this. Wish I'd been given some of this advice when I was younger.

Nothing will happen, unless you make it happen

"Do not let that man put his dick in you."

Thank you, horrifically drunk coworker, you saved me from a great deal of heartache, and chlamydia, even if that was the most embarrassing conversation I've ever had.

Be careful who you open up to, most people just want something to gossip about.

You can't change someone else's behaviour, you can only change how you react to it.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

A royal marine once said this to me and it really stuck. I say it to myself every time I can't be bothered to properly prepare for something.
