My mum always used to say

"bad things come in threes"

which she firmly believed. There have been many, many universal rules I've encountered through life which have never left my consciousness.


What are the weirdest rules for yourselves?

One I always heard was “Celebrities die in threes”. Of course, now that anyone that’s had their face in front of a TV camera for 15 seconds is considered a celebrity, I don’t think it works anymore.

Stayed with me from a very early age and to a degree it works. I read it as make small savings little and often and the cumulative effect of that is that you're generally a bit better off.

It's like a finger pointing away to the moon - DON'T concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.

Also, assumption is the mother of all **** ups.
