Gordon and Margaret Egan had four children. All boys, Michael, John, Kevin and Anthony. During their upbringing, Gordon imparted five essential philosophies or guiding principles for achieving happiness and success in life. These principles were not merely casual suggestions but deeply ingrained lessons that he emphasised regularly. Each principle carries a weight of wisdom and practical advice that has proven invaluable throughout my journey.

1. "Wake up to yourself."
2. "Buy a block of land."
3. "Get that hair cut... and get it cut properly."
4. "Smarten up."
5. "Move yourself."

These 5 guiding principles have embellished with the assistance of AI. These ideas can significantly influenced my approach to life and continue to shape my decisions and actions. Enjoy.
