The Best Advice You Were Ever Given

    Not to get too hung up and stressed about work. Mere days before Mum died, she said to me that 6 months beforehand (when she never even knew she was ill) she came home from work feeling almost ill with stress over something or another happening in the office. She said that now she knows she is literally in her last days, she is thinking of me, my dad, her family, and all the times she spent with us. She realised how pointless (unless you are saving lives) and unimportant work is compared to family.


    This, this, and this sentiment. Where I work in an office some of the people are so stressed you can see it's making them ill, but they just won't sit back and see it really isn't worth the extra hours for no pay while putting up with a boss who just swears at them. They are literally living just to work at the moment and I fear its only something tragic that will stop all this. Family is everything.

    Buy low and sell high BUT you will never buy at the bottom and you will never sell at the top.

    Worry about yourself not others, but treat others how you would want to be treated yourself

    ---

    Actually, i think its probably an advice 'mash up', but its pretty much my main 'rules'.

    1. See so many people consumed and uptight with what others have or others are getting, even if it does not impact on them in the any way at all. Appreciate what you have, never be either jealous or outraged in others, and if it / your life is not what you want, work hard to improve to it.

    2. Some people are so rude, discourteous to others, purely consumed in themselves. Feel like we live in a horrible, selfish and nasty world at times. I always try and be with people how i would want to be treated in return. If its not replicated, their card is marked.

    She then went on to say "Never trust women in white shoes"

    Specifically - regarding buying property. On looking for my first property purchase an Estate Agent (!!!) said to always remember that the house you choose will be the place you always go home to, so you have to love it, because if you've had a shitty day at work and all you want to do is go home & chill, the last thing you want to do is to be moaning about the area you live, or that you can't park anywhere, that you hate the neighbours etc etc..............always stuck in my mind as good advice.

    Generally - never go to sleep or part company with a loved one without resolving an argument or disagreement.
