What's the best advice you have heard...

This actually worked a few time for me when I was younger and single ;D
'You have great legs, I only see one thing wrong with them, they are not wrapped around my neck'

Pretty sure it's not original but I don't remember hearing it from anyone when I was 'out and about' 20~30 yrs ago
 
sounds a bit woosy but when i'm lieing awake stressing out about stuff that might go wrong i just have to tell myself - hasn't happened, isn't happening, won't happen - and it seems to set my mind at rest for some reason

I was in a restaurant once and a really attractive server had given us menus and asked if we had seen anything we liked and before I knew it the words were coming out of my mouth "Yes, but I don't see you on the menu" or something like that. I usually manage to keep those sorts of words to my inner voice, but somehow they slipped out.

In terms of advise though, I like

"Knowledge is power
And the more knowledge you pass to others, the more you empower them."

I like that.
 
I think it's a motorcycle thing?
Think twice and you may be dead in many riding situations, it kinda spills over into ordinary life sometimes ;D
 
Road rules don't exist to a cager. When you chose to ride a motorcycle, you gave up all your right of ways. Double yellow means turn now, a stop sign is red, fresh green lights, mean someone is running a red light. A two lane road is lefty turn killer, claimed many lives. When riding with cars, expect the worst, even intentional harm. Among cars, you are the rabbit, and they are the wolves.
 
One of my 'throw away' lines that a student put on his race car
"I'm not good because I'm fast, I'm fast because I'm good"
That's a PJ original that is ;)

Not sure if I already posted this?
Keith 'Crasher' Nichols told me this about 45 yrs ago
'Second rule of riding/racing, if you don't hit it, it don't matter'
 
Use fear as a tailwind, not a headwind.

Think it was Jimmy Iovine said something like that. Words to live by.
 
"Sometimes your best isn't good enough, and that's ok. But, never give less than all you can."

thats what i tell mrs spotty when she shouts at me for going too close to another car or a crash barrier. as far as i'm concerned if i miss it by an inch it may as well have been in the next suburb
 
You can't teach a pig to dance. You just waste your time and piss off the pig.
VERY delicate tasks: the slower you go, the faster you finish.
One more: You do what you want to do.
 
Ok, I'll bite... what's UBUNIBI?


Older son showed me this one the other day:

I asked an EOD guy once about the stress of bomb diffusing.
He shrugged and said "It's not. I'm either right, or suddenly it's not my problem anymore".
I try to stick to that perspective,

That reminded me of this one I heard a while back:

If you are a soldier, you are either:
(1) at home or (2) at the Front.
If (1), you needn’t worry.
If (2), you are either (1) out of the danger zone or (2) in it.
If (1), you needn’t worry.
If (2), you are either (1) not hit, or (2) hit.
If (1), you needn’t worry.
If (2) you are either (1) trivial or (2) dangerous.
If (1), you needn’t worry.
If (2), you either (1) live or (2) die.
If you live, you needn’t worry: and – If you die, YOU CAN’T WORRY!!
So why worry? ~ "Max" Staniforth, Irish Infantry- WWI
