Be nice to people 'on your way up' - you never know who you gonna meet on 'the way down'.

Bit negative if you ask me......

I go with "Do as you would be done by"
and "Its not what you know, its who you know"
They seem the most relevent to me.

I think Bill and Ted said it best:

"Be most excellent to each other, and party on!"

Coupled with Wayne Gretsky:

"Statistically speaking, 100% of the shots you don't take, won't go in"

Never think you'll be satisfied with a Turdo, UK300, Sti8 - You'll always want more - so cut to the chase and get a Jap Import and get it tuned .

My dad once gave me his golden nugget on life

'Don't be scared to make a decision'

I basically spent the first few years of my career putting my **** on the block, I have been right and wrong many times, but I got noticed for having the bottle. I put this down as the reason my career has been so successful to date...........
I can now afford to move back to Scotland take a 66% wage cut, working 3 days a week, allowing me to spend loads of time with my wife and new family, all pretty much based on the above statement
