Never spit or piss into the wind.

Couldn't stop laughing when he landed back on it instead of in the water

Never send the first draft of the pissed off e-mail at work....

My version of this is:

• Write angry email, pour all your vitriol into it
• Save it to the Drafts folder
• Sleep on it overnight, or if that isn't realistic, go an get a coffee
• Read the draft email again
• Delete it
• Move on with your life

You are guaranteed to get good money for a good car but not guaranteed to get bad money for a bad car.

What is that supposed to mean?

Good cars will always sell at the best price.

Whereas bad cars wont necessarilly sell even at the lowest price.

It's not that difficult to comprehend.

Well colour me dumb, as it didn’t make sense to me, even after you’ve explained it, it still sounds like gobbledygook to me, but if it’s stood you in good stead, that’s okay then.

Best bit of advice I ever had was from my Dad:
“When travelling, eat, sleep and pee whenever you can”. Nothing if not practical, my Dad.

I’m also quite a fan of classic business maxims including:
“Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity, cashflow is reality”
“Noone cares you know until they know you care”
“Be kind to everyone on the way up; you’ll meet the same people on the way down”

Winston Churchill:

There are lies. Damned lies. And statistics.

(I’ve found this very valuable. Stats can be distorted and doctored to basically deliver any story. I’m always extremely dubious until I have looked into things for myself).
