On deciding whether to take more than a couple of days off work after an early miscarriage, my mum said "you don't get this time again, don't go back too early"

The prettiest thing you can wear is a smile.

One piece of advice which I've found to be useful in all sorts of difficult situations is : "You can always do the things you've got to do." It helps steel yourself at your weakest moments.

The first time I ever went for promotion in work, I was really terrified and my boss said to me " Just remember they can't take the job you have away from you, so just do your best and you just might end up getting what you want". I have always passed this on to my staff since.

Will it make you happy? If it doesn't lead to happiness then walk away.

Just do it...You could be dead tomorrow!

Treat everybody the way you would like them to treat you

My mum taught me never to look down on anyone unless I was helping them up and to always reward a kindness.

"Pretty is as pretty does".

"Don't sweat the small stuff." Not always easy, but if you can keep things in perspective and not spend a lot of time and angst on things that don't matter in the bigger scheme of things, you'll have the time you need for the things that really do matter.

You only live once, whats the worse you can be told... No

a nun in school saying " the best is yet to come". So there's always something good around the corner.

a year later she handed my my LC results with a big disappointed look on her face.

My Granddad was a very wise soul who would often guide me as a child. He used to say that 'your good enough to go anywhere but never stay where you are not made to feel welcomed.

Regarding "spending a penny", my mum has always told us, "go when you can, not when you have to", it's one of many sayings I now inflict on my children.

A very wise friend once said: 'Don't let outside forces control your life'-make your life what you want it to be.

'Try not to take things personally , what people say about you is a reflection of them, not you'

'Be kind whenever possible. It's always possible' (The Dalai Lama)

'Keep it simple!'

My mum's only good bit of advice was "You can be very lonely being right" and my brother once said to me when I was about to make a bad decision, "You can kid everyone else, just don't kid yourself". I still made the bad decision anyway but realised later that I had been deluding myself.

To love, rather than hate, to give without seeking reward and to avoid making your life all about working for 'money', which does not make us or the Planet 'happy'. Do life-supporting work and avoid doing harm.

always check if your seeds are growing, if they have not grown there's a problem

we only live once, enjoy

Whatever you do in life do it 100% with everything you have, then there are no regrets....

"Your biggest regret in life won't be what you did do, but what you didn't do".

The most valuable tool in your box is your brain.

Keep it sharp.

I also stand by, 'It is never too late to learn something new'.

Never go to bed on an argument. (Keep it going and eventually the other person will give in)

Always love your number one first and foremost - yourself!
