1. Always make sure you have a good comfy pair of shoe's and a comfy bed cos when your not in one you will be in the other.

2. better to be known as Sam who is late, than to be known as the late Sam.

I dont know about tips but the best lessons i have learned over the years are as follows

1. You dont die from a broken heart

2. love DOESNT conquer all

3. Only ever treat people the way you would want to be treated

4. What goes around comes around so dont waste your time in brooding over something bad someone did to you - they will get theirs.

Some of my faourites from one of my favourites, 10 brownie points if someone knows who said them

"As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and the 'bad' in others, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and critisizing others weakens and defeats you."

"Failure is the key to success, every mistake teaches us something"

"To injure your opponent is to injure yourself, to control aggression without inflicting injury is the art of peace"

I like em anyway

Never judge a book by its cover.

What goes around comes around.

Its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

My favourite one though is

Some good ones, from my parents and grandparents:


Look before you leap.

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Don't live beyond your means.

Act in haste, repent at leisure.

Do unto others as you would unto yourself.


And my favourite one, from my grandmother:

The more hurry, the less speed.
