    You will get further in life by having good manners and a good personality than you will by having a good education. People remember kindness and those who care.

    In fairness it depends what you mean by "further in life".

    The people with the most successful careers are absolute *****. The aggressive get to the top...!

    Not in my experience. Being a people person is far more important.

    OK we have obviously worked in very different companies. Most of my experience would be in multinationals.

    Take chances / grasp opportunities.
    Judge people by what they do, not what they say. A promise is just air.

    More seriously, remember that what you want from life is valid and just as important as waht anyone else wants.

    Time is short.

    The world is full of fantastic beers and wines, try lots of them. Even the Blue Nun!

    Dont eat anything that has less than 2 feet or more than 4.

    oh god. if i could go back to my early 20s............ dont stick with a guy/girl because you're afraid that you'll never get another guy/girlfriend. hold onto your mates and over time the ones that matter to you will be still be around when you're in 30s/ 40s etc. be happy in your job regardless of pay. im in my 30s and its only now that iv become confident/strong and able to just say no! without trying to make up a silly excuse. f**K THE BEGRUDGERS! hold your head up and keep it up!;)

    Learn to listen it's something most of us a hopeless at and maybe the reason this country is in the mess it's in. Bertie was'nt listening to the warnings apparently.It's the national malaise.
