I&#x27;ll tell you the advice my grandfather gave me growing up, he was my strongest male role model :-<p>Be confident not arrogant.<p>Stand your ground when you think you are right and admit immediately when you are wrong.<p>If you don&#x27;t know say you don&#x27;t know.<p>Don&#x27;t allow anyone to treat you worse than you&#x27;d treat them and the inverse treat others how you&#x27;d like be to treated.<p>It&#x27;s easier to stay in shape than to get back into shape (having not listened to this one, getting back in shape <i>was</i> a challenge).<p>Never go to bed angry, if something is bothering you get it out and dealt with.<p>No matter how good you are at something there is always someone better, find them and learn from them (he was a master shipwright then a master carpenter, he spent a lifetime working with wood and would still admit the old masters where better, I couldn&#x27;t tell the difference but <i>he</i> could).<p>Never be afraid to ask for help and offer if it is asked for.<p>When you look back it&#x27;s better to have tried and failed than not tried.<p>and my personal favourite &quot;Noone ever asked for &#x27;I wish I&#x27;d worked more&#x27; on their headstone&quot;.
