IT wasn't really advice, but it happened in primary school.
We were linied up in pairs as was the protocol. My schoolmate pushed me into the teacher and I stood on his foot. He then told me off and when I said I was pushed he said 'but it was you who stood on my foot'
I learned _ valuable lesson. People are cunts |

Gosh, its hard to choose "the best"... heres a good one!
Try replacing the word "but" in a sentence with the word "and". Often things that we think cant coexist really can!

One that stands out is from a teacher.
He was talking to the class about name calling etc
He said, having a laugh, taking the mickey out of people is part of growing up, but don't name call someone for something they can't change, because if it bothers them, if it hurts, they're stuck with it.
That's not teasing, that's cruel. |

"Those little cubes often found in mens urinals are NOT complimentary sweets….
(trust me, they taste like crap)  "
I think someone must have done a "number 2" before you tasted it.... Surely it should have tasted of urine  |

The best advice I was ever given was to "Read this book". I was 12 years old.
The book was "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach.
It taught me about non-conformity and helped me realise my place in the world. |

"By my Dad when I was about 6. "If someone hits you at school hit them back but harder". I think that was his way of saying that none of his kids would get bullied  "
I told mine never hit back tell a teacher as they will b in as much trouble as the one who hit them first x |

I also got the same advice. My former bully was still crossing the road to avoid me 30 years later. |

Don't ever worry about what other people think, too many people spend too much of their lives either trying to impress other people or worrying about what they think of you, fuck em do what makes you happy and the less time you spend worrying about what other people think the happier you'll be ...... |

"Work with what your dealt with. Stop looking over there at their grass, the reason it’s greener is because they watered it.
What if it's a different species, like a drought resistant one?!  "

Disappoint someone else before you disappoint yourself
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.

"Being angry is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to hurt". (I find that hard to swallow, geddit?)
"Baby steps".
"Don't let anything live in your thoughts rent-free". If you're not benefitting somehow; evict that shit. |

Back in the day. I used to compete competitively in full contact TKD. After very badly losing the 1st round of a title winning fight. My coach said to me. " You are the only person who can lose this fight. There is nothing he can do to you that you can't do to him"
Thanks to those words I have a 2007 British TKD gold medal for my classification. |

"Don't blame a clown for being a clown, ask yourself why you keep buying tickets for the circus."

I remember getting frustrated when working in Africa due to lack of tools and equipment. My gaffer took me aside and said ‘chill out, remember you can only piss with the cock you’ve got. You can’t do anymore than that’ |

"Is it terrible that I’m struggling with this….. but I guess, hit first ask questions later
how is that any use to anyone as you suggest your purpose in life is? "
Who said anything about life purpose?! |

"Never expect anything from anyone and you won’t be disappointed
It is during the worst times in your life you’ll see the true colours of those that say they care for you
"
You will always find out who you're true friends are in a time of need. |
