    "be good or be good at it" my mother always told me I never really understood it till I was older. I worked with an old German man onces he always said" I trust everybody I don't trust the devil inside them". My mother again "a pat on the back is two foot from a kick in the arse"

    Similarly...
    "Na bac le mac an bhacaigh, agus ní bhacaigh mac an bhacaigh leat"

    Its also a very nice phrase to speak

    I used to hear no matter how good looking she is , some bloke is sick of shagging her!


    But for me , it was my brother , I was about 21 and moaning about a girl I was seeing that didn't work out - took me a while to get over it.
    But he told me about regrets - Never have any, there is no point, you can't change the past so no point dwelling.

    It sounds so obvious but since then I have never regretted anything, life is life we are in the driving seat and can only look forward!

    Sure I make mistakes, but I never dwell ... always looking forward.

    If you pull out of a tackle you're more likely to get hurt.

    You'll never hear anyone on their death bed say they wished they'd spent more time working and less time with their loved ones.
    You might hear it the other way around though

    "If you're going to do something, do it well."
    "Look, don't overthink it, just stand up, speak up, then shut up" when fretting over a Best Man speech.

    "None of us had any real idea what to do, you just be there and try your best and you'll figure it out"

    All from my Dad, the last about nerves over becoming a father myself. Evidently point 1 was taken on board too.

    Also, "any idiot can become a father, it takes hard work and dedication to become a Dad".

    There's 3 luxuries in life that will keep you happy. Good shoes, a good car and a good bed.

    If you're not in your car you'll be in your shoes, if you're not in your shoes you'll be in your bed.

    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.”

    Advice I give is to always take advice of others under advisement.. most of the time the advice others give you is simply telling you what you want to hear. The best advice is often what you don't want to hear..

    "You still have to stand in your own shadow"

    In other words, you can leave anybody and anything behind except for yourself, so do be good to others, but don't forget to take care of yourself.
