You gave my daughter your ticket to the Open Training Session, so you clearly live by your principles! [emoji122]

Don’t be a **** to people.
In all seriousness, I don't have many snappy aphorisms, and my approach to life has changed with time. These have served me well, though.
Put in a shift.
Trust your gut.
Don't keep making the same mistake, expecting a different result.
Disregard* anyone who declares themselves your enemy - the petty minded and vengeful always end up shafting themselves.
Try to be kind, but don't suffer foolishness.
Cherish you family, friends and acquaintances.
Consider the outlandish opinions of others carefully before dismissing them. But do remember to dismiss them.
Don't be afraid to go against the view of the herd, but be aware that things are often the way they are for good reason.
Understand the difference between a necessary working assumption and a fact.
Recognise and accept when you've been wrong.
Fear no-one.
Never trust a hippy.
*Or nip the whole thing in the bud and put the buggers on ignore

Sadly in life that isn't always the case. Agree with the rest though.

I’m loving this! Especially like the point about the herd. I’m a bit anti-herd, stand my ground, scrap it out when others are running. Trouble is I get trampled in the stampede! It’s a bit like [MENTION=27279]dazzer6666[/MENTION] ‘pick your battles’ advice, sometimes just walk away because you might be right but you’re also risk becoming the biggest loser. Anyway, lots of sage advice there HWT. Cheers!

That's very kind of you.
Turns out you’re a bit of an NSC Yoda.
Kind of you it is.
Ah, you forgot to attach one of these to each before you threw them off your boat. Careless.
