Little bits of advice for life

[Hopkirk]

Can you each give me a little piece of advice please?

I'll start.

If you take a basket in a supermarket, you will regret it half way round the store.

Try and do someone a good turn every day. At the end of the day you may feel good about it.

What about "aw don't worry - there are plenty more fish in the sea" told me by my Mum when another love-struck teenage romance hit the rocks!

[Messalina]

My grandma always told me never to trust a man with a limp handshake as you don't know what else might be limp. Thanks, Grandma!

To receive a smile, give one away.
A smile is a language that even a baby understands.
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile, so give them one of yours as no one needs a smile as much as the one who has no more to give.
The shortest distance between two people is a smile.

[sallybb]

When you don't know what to say...start with 'hello how are you? ' and mean it....

[pa___ul3]

never regret the things you've done, only the things you haven't.

Be prepared when pruning climbing roses - they bite.

A hug is an amazing thing --
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.

It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.

And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.

Lovely, Mamy

That's nice mamya - funny how you can hug some people on certain occasions, and not on others.... a business colleague is leaving and I gave her a hug, I wouldn't have dreamed of doing that when I was working with her.

Remove the lead flashing from your porch before some toerag does it for you.

[pips1]

Hope for the best
Expect the worst
Take what comes!

[rowanwitch]

second chances are precious,,,grab them,,,

[mungbeanz]

If you don't like someone, never tell them how you feel. You never know when you might need their help.

[Clanad]

If a job requires climbing a 20 foot ladder, you'll never have all the tools you need the first time...

Never trust a smiling cat.

Buying cheap toilet roll can be a false economy.

Don't clean your computer keyboard in the shower.

[sara3]

know your limits.

ie; stop before you make an arse of yourself.

[boxtops]

Don't pretend you can do something if you can't - you'll look an idiot when someone actually asks you to do it for them.
