LIFE IS TOO SHORT
TO DRINK BAD
WINE. IT DOESN’T
NECESSARILY HAVE
TO COST AN ARM
A G IT JUST
S O BE GOOD
Teach your children
manners and groom their
personality. It’s a lot more
important than any
school marks.
Hug and kiss the ones you
love every day.
Making a fuss in public
just makes you a clown.
Being civilised when
making complaints is way
more likely to achieve a
constructive outcome.
Champagne can mess
you up, especially if you en
the night on it. It guarantee
a bad hangover and a lot of
dehydration. Go for
whisky instead.
Work out regularly if yo
want long-term results.
Ditto skincare.
Keep your head up and
look forward in life instead
of down at your phone.
Experiencing the real world
is way more meaningful and
stimulating.
Earplugs are
marriage savers.
Children are amazing but
they come with an insane
amount of responsibility.
Having them is easy,
teaching and guiding them
is super challenging, so
be prepared!
Humidity is good for
your hair, even though
you might not necessarily
like it. We recently spent
two weeks in Europe and
California and really felt the
difference.
No, you don’t always have
to listen to your parents—
and we’re saying this as both
offspring and parents. The
older generation will always
be more experienced, but
their ways may not be the
most appropriate for our
oday. And that’s okay.
Be well-travelled. Try
different foods. Appreciate
different cultures. It will
keep you grounded, humble
and knowledgeable.
AT 40, WE
STILL HAVE
MUCH TO
LEARN
LEARN AS MANY
LANGUAGES AS
YOU CAN. YOU
WILL REALISE THE
IMPORTANCE OF
THIS WHEN YOU
ARE COMPLETELY
RELIANT ON YOUR
POLYGLOT SPOUSE
ON A TRIP TO
FRANCE OR JAPAN
