Level 8

On a more serious vain.....(a) learn to think...by parents..🍺 learn how to think...by teachers...☕ learn to think, or else...by life......and failing those.....learn to punt..but remember, most teams only have one thats successful

I like this repetition rams it home . Not sure about the the "but remember..." Some teams have silent non boastful ones who have the idea that leads to success but push others to the top of team management.

@Mcflewster thank you for the reply.

A. Seek safety in the heart of danger. Conflict is going to happen and if you act out of fear of it, it will clobber you twice as hard. Bruce Lee

There is an intriguing story behind each of these I am sure

@Fred_Snerd well that’s interesting.

@Fred_Snerd, Ah, thank you 🙂 Billy Connelly used to say, ‘I’ll give you a tip, don’t eat yellow snow.’ (Scottish Comic).

@Fred_Snerd it wasnt a song

@Fred_Snerd actually it was friends of mine 30 years ago

@girlwithsmiles Why are comedians(both sexes) often right and especially Scottish ones ? - because they can come up with the most unexpected answer

@Mcflewster i think because they tell it like it is, Billy had me in tears once talking about his childhood.

@Mcflewster, @lerlo well Billy Connelly’s 75 and i saw it in a video 25 + years ago...so an oldie but goodie 😉
