This little work is designed to bring you back, again and again, to refresh your view and attitude to life, living, and everything in between. You will find no easy answers to your dilemmas here, rather an alternative view of how to approach them. Or to be honest, just Sir Terry's view. You never know, you might even agree with him. . . The Little Book of Common Sense will cover Sir Terry's views on: Life: One day at a time. But look where you're going. Particularly on a bike. . . Talk: Keep it short and to the point. You don't want people to think you're a politician. The most popular person at a party is the good listener. Particularly at an Irish party. Money: Save or spend? Risk is for derivative and hedge-fund wonks. And it's not their money, anyway. Hold on to your hard-earned pennies—your children are going to need them. And everything else in between.
Terry Wogan was educated at Crescent College. After leaving college Terry went into banking, and five years later joined Radio Telefis Eirann as a newsreader/announcer. Terry's extensive television credits include his live chat show series Wogan, Songs for Europe, The Eurovision Song Contest, Come Dancing, Blankety Blank and Children in Need, to name but a few. In 1993 Terry rejoined BBC Radio 2 to present Wake Up to Wogan the most-listened-to breakfast show in the UK. In a moment of weakness Her Majesty the Queen honored him with a knighthood in 2005.
