Wow. He did get it eventually. Great Uncle John, a fantastic guy. Anyway, the point of the story is that he was at Covent Garden talking to a flower seller. And the flower seller was imparting these phrases. And one was, life ain't much, but it's all you got. So stick a geranium in your hat and be happy.

And I'm not sure if the other one, the cock of the walk, my grandmother always gave me this phrase, one day a cock of the walk, the next a feather duster. But she would send it to me with pictures of a cockerel when I was going through a particularly good time, just to remind me, be careful because the feather duster might be around the corner. Very, very good device.

So I'm not sure if she got that from Uncle John, but he certainly got a lot of his sayings from this Covent Garden flower seller.

Well, I come from the Winston Churchill school of thought. You know, failure is going from, success is going from failure to failure with no discernible loss of enthusiasm. And he was the greatest Briton of all time. But he had a lot of failures. He had a lot of successes. I love Michael Jordan's view about success and failure.

He could remember making thousands of baskets, but he could also remember the 26 times he had the shot to win a match and he failed. And he said, without that, you never do the rest. And I do, you know, Wayne Gretzky, who I met in a New York restaurant actually a few months ago. Fantastic bloke. I had a great chat with him. Greatest ice hockey player in history.

Famous for the quote, you'll miss 100% of the shots you never take. I have gone through my entire life with that attitude. Just have a go. Have a go. See what happens. Sometimes it's been spectacularly successful. Sometimes it's crashed and burned.

Literally deep breath, however bad it is, whatever it is, I count to 10. And at the end of 10, okay, now crack on. There's nothing you can do about it. There's nothing you can do about it.

I mean, look, all the things that people know that have happened to me, I've had moments when I've lost big jobs or whatever it may be. They always seem worse to other people than they do to me in the moment, I would say. I just literally do the count to 10, whatever it is. I just think short of death or terminal illness, everything is recoverable from. It's entirely down to you.
