What is a piece of advice you were given that you will always remember?
joyful When you have an opportunity to learn a new skill, take advantage and learn it because you never know if you might use it in the future. Back in the 60’s, I purposely never learned to type because I didn’t ever want to work in a secretarial position ……..now I’m sorry because I hardly ever actually write anything and it takes me quite a while to hunt and peck on a keyboard.

Ziggy Never sign anything that you haven't read. Every page, front and back. If you don't understand what you are reading, get a professional to read it and interpret it for you. Always keep a copy of anything you have signed.
Be grateful and happy with where you are in life, and what you have. There will always be those who have more than you and less than you in all all aspects of life.

TS when on salary, every hour you work overtime (unpaid) is money you are giving back and in the end lowers your hourly rate.

Beggars can't be choosers! My mom told me that during the height of the Cabbage Patch Kid craze. I told her the exact doll I wanted (hair color, eye color, etc), and since it was hard to find any of the dolls, she told me beggars can't be choosers and I should be happy with whatever doll I get. The doll I got was nothing like what I wanted...and I loved it!
