“Do what you do do well” is one of Iano’s favourite mantras, and last week we received a CD by Daniel O’Donnell covering that song. We played it on the show this morning and then we were inundated with great life quotes! Some of them are quite inspirational – get ready to want to run up a mountain after reading these:
Ian - my mantra is, "It's good to be optimistic, you can always regret later" Michael in the Daf!
Good morning Iano, I reckon the band singing that tune is The Corrs and on the mantra thing mine is "What can I do different today to be better tomorrow" Thanks, MacDara
