    Doesn't that translate to be a selfish bugger?

    Care for others.
    Find comedy and laughter wherever you can.
    Show humility.

    I think it's the apochraphyl Yorkshire man's advice to his son Helen, my actual one would be to treat others as you would wish yourself to be treated. And be kind.

    I think this might just over complicate life somewhat, a bit of empathy and human nature ought to be enough.

    Treat people accordingly.
    Look before you jump.
    Always be honest, even if it kills you.

    First Day in a new job my induction consisted of a brief walk around then a trip to the nearest pub. My supervisor said ‘only thing I’ve got to tell you lad is never sh*t on your own time’. I’ve carried that advice to every job I’ve ever done.

    If you can't change a tyre, don't drive - my dad when i d started driving lessons

    don't ever leave fun to find fun - can't remember, but it struck a chord and I try to abide by it.
