| I'll tell you the advice my grandfather gave me growing up, he was my strongest male role model :- Be confident not arrogant. Stand your ground when you think you are right and admit immediately when you are wrong. If you don't know say you don't know. Don't allow anyone to treat you worse than you'd treat them and the inverse treat others how you'd like be to treated. It's easier to stay in shape than to get back into shape (having not listened to this one, getting back in shape was a challenge). Never go to bed angry, if something is bothering you get it out and dealt with. No matter how good you are at something there is always someone better, find them and learn from them (he was a master shipwright then a master carpenter, he spent a lifetime working with wood and would still admit the old masters where better, I couldn't tell the difference but he could). Never be afraid to ask for help and offer if it is asked for. When you look back it's better to have tried and failed than not tried. and my personal favourite "Noone ever asked for 'I wish I'd worked more' on their headstone". |
