A lot of math, physics and chess strategy. Don't follow the crowd. Don't think about what's happening now, think about what going to happen.
That it's the people closest to you and you rely on the most will really fuck you up. |

How to satisfy men sexually.
How to beat men at most games. Funny how he didn’t want to play the same game after I had beaten him 
How to appear charming, how to get away with minimal work whilst somehow making most people believe that you are a hard worker.
How to be a psychopath. Except I have feelings, so I’m only half psycho.
This is the first time I’ve voiced this anywhere. He’s only been dead ten years. Parents eh?! |

By the time I hit my teens, mine had changed career twice, been a shop steward at a huge company, ran his own company then sold
It out and went in to something completely new, so I learnt that many things including you don’t have to be tied to one job/career your whole life and you can be successful in several if you’re not afraid to graft, tackle the shit others complain about but stand up for your own worth and value….and never be afraid to walk if others don’t see your value either.
Also, most managers probably know no more than you do, usually a lot less, they’re frequently styling it out and hoping for the best, often making a decision, sticking to it and working out who to pass the blame to if it fucks up- don’t be intimidated by anyone in a company at a higher level…they probably need you more than you need them. If you’re running a team, make sure the credit is given to those who deserve it, you’ll get more respect than taking it yourself- your job is to enable them to do theirs  |

To be less sensitive to the opinions of people who don’t matter
When I was a child I used to cry every day because of something mean that was said to me. I was a bit of a wet wipe.
I haven’t lost one tear nor missed any sleep over the opinions of people who don’t matter since I was about 8/9 years old |

Mine left when I was young and then he came back on the scene. He taught me a few things in the end. Usually about how not to be a good parent. Some helpful things too x |

Love this! I have always managed my teams by saying “when things are great, it’s on you guys. When shit hits the fan, I’ll take it because it’s my fault” …… always had successful teams and hugely positive feedback.

Where to kick a man if I'm ever attacked. Where to punch a person if I'm attacked. What to do with my thumb if I punch.
To put my foot down on the gas when joining a motorway and not pussy out and stop |
