Derry - Your Views: Best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Throughout life many people around us have influenced us with simple words of advice.
Whether it was from parents, school teachers, neighbours, strangers or friends, the best pieces of advice in life are free, and more often than not, come from our loved ones. I asked people in Derry for the best advice they’ve been given.

Mark McLaughlin: "There is one I heard recently; ‘Don’t sleepwalk through life’. I like that one. What that means to me is don’t let life push you along, or you’ll miss the important things. Open your eyes a bit. I heard that at the Derren Brown show in the Millennium Forum."
