"life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it"
"when ever you're running away from something you are always running towards something else"
And the one that really hurt, when I first started work at a supermarket age 15 [still at school] he said "save $0.50 from every dollar you earn". A few years later I had finished school, having ignored his advice and spent all my cash on fish and snowboarding, and was looking to buy my first decent car. I was looking to get a loan and was figuring out how much I'd need to save. He got a calculator [he's a maths teacher] and roughly worked out how much I'd earned working part time over the past four years, and how much I would have saved if I listened to him, and if I had followed his advice I'd have been able to pay cash not for the car I was looking at, but for the top-spec one I really wanted that was double the price of the one I was looking at buying.....
