What is your motto? (lemmy.world)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by FatTony@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
 

Doesn't have to be a life motto. Any motto, for any application.

Mine is: "Fear is shorter than regret."

Life's too serious for me to take it seriously.

Never trust anything with a beak. Except for crows; crows are bros.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

As my blood type always says: be positive!

I mean, I'm not B+, but I like the sentiment.

[–] mrcleanup@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

You do the best you can with what you've got.

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Do what you have to do before you do what you want to do .

If you go outside, have a way to get back in.

Jack of all trades, master of one.

Safety first.

It's boring, and not good advice for living a life or making big decisions, but in the day-to-day it reminds me to be careful.

"I like my coffee bitter, like life"

"If it tastes good It is not healthy"

Just to clarify, I am not a super healthy eater. I like to use this expression when the topic comes up to point out that there is no magic and is a miserable experience to lose weight and eat better, better to come to terms with it.

Yeah. I am not a super positive person.

my motto is 'im otto, i came to get blotto"

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Probably something like "It's probably not as bad as you think" which applies to people, situations, difficulty of talks and a lot other stuff.

I don't have one but let's pretend:don't be pressured to act by guilt (assuming you have e a functioning moral compass)

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I have several but by far the most common is "fuck em"

Mainly used when people wanna hit me with some dumb shit and act like it's my problem. Fuck em.

[–] joe_archer@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Before doing anything ask yourself "would a stupid person do that?" If they would, do not do that thing.

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Beauty is born from tragedy

If this was easier, others could do it, too.

I don't have a motto but if anyone is looking for one "This page intentionally left blank." would be amazing
