    My Dad's advice: "I've you want a job doing properly, do it yer sen".

    This does not hold solid for any type of D.I.Y. work though.

    To try, and fail, is no disgrace. Not to try, that's the disgrace.

    at the risk of raising the tone! -

    My grandfather often said said - 'Vox Populi - vox Dei' -- 'Voice of the People is the Voice of God.' -- not sure if it's true tho'

    If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Don't worry about the things you can't control.

    You only get stressed by things out of your control and if you can't control it it ain't worth worrying about

    Say yes.

    Saying yes puts you in situations you never thought of, makes you meet people you wouldn't have & gives you experiences that teach you stuff you didn't realise you needed.

    Say yes.

    When I got a promotion, I’d been concerned about having to play “the party line” - a wise colleague just said, in the final analysis, “Just be true to yourself!” So I was!

    I went to Imphal Barracks at York for an interview for Sandhurst, young man, said the interviewing Brigadier, you have potential but lack confidence in yourself, my advice would be to always take life by the balls and squeeze it until you get where you want to be. Never forgotten it.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today, cos if you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow.
