Good life advice

[Sl1010]

What's the best life advice you have either gave or received?

[Scouse Hibee]

What's the best life advice you have either gave or received?

Be yourself.

Never look down on anyone unless you’re helping them up.

Always look forward

[Bangkok Hibby]

You are number one in this short life.

Don't hurt others.

Go Vegan, for the animals, yourself and the planet.

Invest in Bitcoin, ignore price fluctuations. Long term it's only going up.

[Pretty Boy]

Show the same respect to everyone in any organisation. A surgeon can't do his job without the cleaner.

[Peevemor]

Never eat yellow snow.

[lord bunberry]

Treat others like you expect to be treated yourself.

[Since90+2]

Don't drink alcohol. Even in low to moderate amounts it can be extremely damaging.

[Hibbyradge]

Treat others like you expect to be treated yourself.

That's the golden rule.

The platinum rule is treat people as they want to be treated.

[matty_f]

That's the golden rule.

The platinum rule is treat people as they want to be treated.

:agree: it’s a subtle but significant change but the difference it makes to life and relationships when you follow the platinum rule is incredible.

Couple of bits of advice that i always liked:

If you don’t want to be called an ********, don’t act like an ********.

Choose your battles and remember what’s really important to you before deciding of something is worth the hassle.

Hold yourself to the same standards that you hold others to.

[jonty]

That's the golden rule.

The platinum rule is treat people as they want to be treated.

That might conflict with my rule of 'dont pander to ********s' :greengrin

[jonty]

Be yourself.

Never look down on anyone unless you’re helping them up.

Always look forward


Treat others like you expect to be treated yourself.

great advice that I got from my grandfather


Never eat yellow snow.
Practical advice I got from my uncle :greengrin

[Peevemor]

That might conflict with my rule of 'dont pander to ********s' :greengrin

Ditto.

[Dalianwanda]

You don’t exist in the world, your world exists in you.

[Hibrandenburg]

It's everyone's duty to stand up to wrong doing.

[One Day Soon]

Be true to yourself

Be happy.

Always question authority.

Do the right thing.

Try to love unconditionally.

[Jones28]

Find an extra 5 minutes of patience.

Advice given by my grandfather, he applied it to the kids, especially with bedtime. However I've found myself applying it to lots of different scenarios, especially when technology is involved.

Jambo ******* that he is. I swear it's just to wind us up.

[Antifa Hibs]

Job satisfaction over money every single time. Chuck a new Tag on your wrist and new Valentino's on your feet and granted yes, you'll feel barry for a few hours. Book your dream holiday to the other side of the world and again, you'll feel on top of the world. Just wait for the dopamine to wear off though and you'll be back to square one. No point in being able to afford to goto Singapore for 3 weeks if after the 2nd day you're filled with absolute dread about going back to works in 2.5 weeks time.

Don't get caught up in work. Doesn't apply to everyone but to most, you're just a number. An object that a firm can use to help them make money. When that stops you can be disposed of just as simple as an office chair. Do what your paid to do, work the hours you're paid to work and no more.



Not everyone will agree but thats my advice. I'm out the corporate rat race due to covid and I ain't going back. Feel great for it. SLA's, change approval boards, a meeting to discuss the next meeting then another meeting to discuss the meeting we just had. To hell with that. :party:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Whatever the issue is, if it can be fixed, then why worry. If it can't be fixed, does worrying about it change anything.

[Hibbyradge]

Everything will be alright in the end, and if it's not alright, it's not the end.

[Future17]

- Before doing anything, know what you're seeking to achieve.

- Try and find a job that makes you happy.

[Hibs Class]

Be happy with what you have now. If you say "I'll be happy when....." you're only creating the conditions for unhappiness.

We don't inherit the planet from our parents, we borrow it from our children

[HH81]

You can't put a price on a good time.

[stuart-farquhar]

Everything will be alright in the end, and if it's not alright, it's not the end.

Ok Hibbyraj! (Once you get to our age it's a great movie)

[Vault Boy]

Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

I find it helpful when I'm trying to take stock of challenging moments. There's something bittersweet about human freedom in this sense, but I find it to be a mostly positive thought.

[Northernhibee]

Fear is excitement’s little brother and it’s bark is worse than it’s bite.

[G B Young]

Thread title reminded me of the oft-repeated 70s sitcom (though not seen it on TV for a while now). Felicity Kendal was always easy on the eye.

The sort of life they tried to create would likely become more conventional if we ended up in lockdown for years.

[Lendo]

Perhaps not the most profound (or even sensible) but I remember my dad saying to me “the weekend always starts on a Thursday”.

I lived by that mantra for all of my 20’s

[HendoDelivered]

If its meant to be, it will be.

Everything happens for a reason.

What’s for you, wont go by you.

[Moulin Yarns]

Perhaps not the most profound (or even sensible) but I remember my dad saying to me “the weekend always starts on a Thursday”.

I lived by that mantra for all of my 20’s

I worked with a few people who believe that, they also believe that the week begins on Wednesday 🙄

[Hiber-nation]

Don't ever listen to nonsense mantras that you can supposedly live your life by :wink:

[stu in nottingham]

Not a piece of advice as such but something I try, in some small way, to live by.

'All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow'

(Abraham Lincoln)

My auld dad's advice has always tickled me.

'Retaliate first' :greengrin

[Killiehibbie]

Never try to work out what a woman wants because if they don't know how are we supposed to.

[Peevemor]

Never try to work out what a woman wants because if they don't know how are we supposed to.I stopped trying to understand women years ago and started accepting that they're always right.

I don't know if I'm happier now, but life's certainly simpler.

[Hibrandenburg]

Never mix up laxative and cough medication.

[matty_f]

Don’t vote Tory, is another good bit of advice.

[Hibbyradge]

Ok Hibbyraj! (Once you get to our age it's a great movie)

It's a fine film, it gave profound satisfaction 😁, but the quote was originally from John Lennon.

[Mibbes Aye]

There are various versions of this, including Dr King, but I think John Stuart Mill had the original.

“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing”

[superfurryhibby]

**** the burdz when you're young, because you'll not have the chance or inclination when you're old.

Recognise your inner asshole

Live in the here and now.

[HibbyDave]

Always remember you are unique



Just like everyone else😎



You will always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take





Second place is First Loser..... show me a good loser and I’ll show you........a loser

[heretoday]

Always put a bob on the bad guys. If they win you may as well get something out of it.

[Jay]

I've always taught my kids - No regrets, just lessons. Dont dwell on anything just learn from it .

[Pedantic_Hibee]

The degree to which you accept responsibility for everything in your life is precisely the degree of personal power you have to change or create anything in your life.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Stress is caused by the things we don’t do.

[Weegreenman]

Don’t try too hard at any one thing. Sometimes you’ve just got to let things go!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Felicity Kendal's character is called Barbara Good.

[Caversham Green]

The Serenity Prayer - I'm no bible thumper but.....

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And wisdom to know the difference.
