    If you have someone annoying who does that, then just say to them: "And what's your value-add then?"

    I like this Lou. As you are doing something that is bringing money into the 'business'. You could also refer to anyone whose job it is to reinforce the cost message as 'an overhead'. It should really irritate them!

    Stop worrying. It does no good. If you want to prepare, then prepare - but fruitless worrying is not preparing.

    There's a Brian D'Arcy quote on Chris Evan's show this morning that someone has posted on facebook that is exactly about worrying.

    Am I that easy to read?

    Well I would say there is such a thing as productive worrying. Testing your smoke detectors is productive worrying. Buying a torch in case the lights go out is productive. Sitting down and fretting about the sky falling in is unproductive.

    The key is "action".
