To ask for the best advice you’ve ever been given

[Outing543]

Mine is a famous quote;

People don’t remember what you say
People don’t remember what you do
But people always remember the way you made them feel

If you come across someone you don't like, find something about them that you do like. They'll never know that you don't like them!

@NotRainingToday it's the most useful phrase in the world! It's how pretty much all screws work. Twist left for loose, right for tight

Don't believe everything you think

Never a borrower nor a lender be

Be with a man who ruins your lipstick, not your mascara.

A woman should always have her own current account. Invaluable advice i was given in my first job.

It's not about making the right decision but making the decision right for you.

The best is the enemy of the good.

There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.

If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got.

This came from Fay Wheldon via my mum:

"Before you have kids you can think you're a nice person. Once you have kids you realise how wars start."

Any decision is better than no decision.

The only people who never make mistakes are people who don't do anything.

Chuck it in the fuckit bucket.

Measure twice, cut once.

Everyone's feelings are real to them, just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean they don't feel it.

I don't think this one is true at all. People totally remember what others say and do. I can recall comments and actions from decades ago.

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail

It shouldn't have to happen to you for it to matter to you.

Do not waste valuable time on people who are only happy bringing you down . Only spend time with people who deserve you in their lives .

Inside leg to outside hand is what you do when riding a horse in an arena. Bit niche, and I don't think it's that useful for very many people!

Ah, I still don't know what that means because "All horses are evil" (that's another mantra I live my life by).
