    Might be nice to have some wise thoughts to reflect on. I’ll start.

    A good friend once told me “you can’t always control the situation, but you can control how you react to it.”

    I've never been personally been given advice that I can recall being just 'wow'.

    Someone showed me how to open a bottle of beer in the absence of a bottle opener if you could call that advice.

    Be true to yourself, and don't follow the herd if you don't want to.

    Only those who want to control you will be concerned about that!

    Never argue with a stupid person, because they'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Before I read any of the answers on this thread I quickly though I don't know......... But what I do know is that most of the best advice I ever got came from my old man.

    Thanks Da.

    2 from my mother in law (both given on birth of my first kid - who is now a nurse and getting married later this year..... how time flies!)

    Quickest way to attract a kids attention is to sit down & look comfortable

    If the child is quiet..... leave him alone. Unless he has been quiet for too long!

    Don't buy into the corporate career dream. Find an enjoyable job with a good work-life balance i.e. 9 to 5.
