Five “Words of Wisdom” Quotes

  1. “You have to adapt to what people expect of you. Being military when required, and approachable and flexible when necessary”
  2. “You must like your job, you must enjoy it. Because once you are in, you are the one who's experiencing the ups and downs.”
  3. “You will get nothing if you don't go and look for it. You have to make the move, you have to make the attempt. You cannot just sit down and wait for things to happen.”
  4. “Be yourself, let the other person see who you are. If you put up a front now, once you get married and see the true colours, things might not turn out so nice.”
  5. “Don’t go to the extreme and say that because life is expected to be lousy, I'm not gonna get married, I'm not going to have children.
