IT wasn't really advice, but it happened in primary school.

We were linied up in pairs as was the protocol. My schoolmate pushed me into the teacher and I stood on his foot. He then told me off and when I said I was pushed he said 'but it was you who stood on my foot'

I learned _ valuable lesson. People are cunts

Gosh, its hard to choose "the best"... heres a good one!

Try replacing the word "but" in a sentence with the word "and". Often things that we think cant coexist really can!

One that stands out is from a teacher.

He was talking to the class about name calling etc

He said, having a laugh, taking the mickey out of people is part of growing up, but don't name call someone for something they can't change, because if it bothers them, if it hurts, they're stuck with it.

That's not teasing, that's cruel.

The best advice I was ever given was to "Read this book". I was 12 years old.

The book was "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach.

It taught me about non-conformity and helped me realise my place in the world.

Back in the day. I used to compete competitively in full contact TKD. After very badly losing the 1st round of a title winning fight. My coach said to me. " You are the only person who can lose this fight. There is nothing he can do to you that you can't do to him"

Thanks to those words I have a 2007 British TKD gold medal for my classification.
