Adele's Life Lessons: 21 Times The Easy On Me Singer Showed Us All How To Win At Life

As much as Adele is known for her honesty in her songwriting, she’s also every bit as candid when she’s not singing her heart out – and it’s something the world has fallen in love with her for.

In this day and age of virtually every celebrity being media trained to within an inch of their lives, Adele is that rare thing: a massive star who isn’t afraid to just be herself and tell it like it is. And that’s something we could probably all stand to learn from.

With the Grammy-winning star having finally unveiled her long-awaited fourth album, 30, we’re looking back at some of the life lessons she’s taught us all during her time in the spotlight...

1. First of all, know how to make an entrance

2. Never take yourself too seriously

3. Don’t be afraid to show your emotions

4. And allow yourself to feel things deeply

5. But don’t forget to embrace your silly side, too

6. Remember, there really is no point in playing it cool when confronted with people you admire

7. Laugh loud...

8. ...laugh often...

9. ...laugh no matter where you are...

10. ...and don’t be scared to laugh at yourself, either

11. There’s always time for a quick natter

12. Embrace who you are

13. And know your worth

14. There’s nothing wrong with letting people have it every now and then...

15. ...as long as you own up to your own mistakes, too

16. Honesty is always the best policy...

17. ...Well, most of the time, at least

18. If you’re given the opportunity to dress up, grab it...

19. ...Including when that means dressing up as someone else

20. No matter how good you are at something, it never hurts to have an extra hidden talent stashed away

21. And finally, remember to take stock of everything you’ve already had the strength to survive
