27 Years Of Advice – And How Its Worked Out For Me
With 27 years under my belt, time will continue to pass by so I offer you 27 years of advice in this short extract from my life experiences.
What Truly Is Life?
There is never a right way to guide someone through life, and no matter how much you care and try to educate them they will not listen. I was, and am a prime example of that “someone”.
Here is a short timeline of my life and what I have picked up along the way, yes its silly yes its pointless but if you really sit back and think about the things you have learnt and come away with something fulfilling you can thank me later.
My Timeline
Age 1 – Walking is a piece of cake with bumps and knocks along the way

Age 3 – Throwing tantrums won’t get you anyway, get back up on your feet and take it like a man
Age 4 – Eat what your mother tells you, it’ll put hairs on your chest
Age 5 – Competing with friends and their toys isn’t going to make you happier no matter how shiny Thomas the Tank Engine is.
Age 6 – Leaving your mother for school isn’t fun but it’ll help you become less socially awkward
