I need your advice

[Zammo]

Can you believe Madonna gets nervous?! She's a little anxious to say the least about her performance at the Superbowl this weekend. Elton John has given her some advice saying she should lip-sync. What is the best bit of advice you've ever been given and did you take it?

My mum always said that as regards a partner, to go for someone who is kind. Always stuck with me.

A former boss said to always be aware of your own humility and limits and never stop questioning yourself - a very good piece of advice I heed a lot.

My Uncle told me when I was in my late teens...to live my life and do what I want. Not to care what others think of me because the people who matter will love me regardless.

Did I heed his advice...only partially.

This wasnt given to me, I read it, but think it is great advice;
Lord Reith (who started the BBC) said "I realised too late that life was for living".

My mum has always said 'ach, tell them all to bugger off'. Works for me ;)
