What is your motto? (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 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."

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

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

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

Too strange to live, too rare to die by HST.

Sums up my life pretty well.

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.

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.

Unless you are a baker, then it's "Pastry first"

Don't be "that guy".

Depending on the situation, whatever "that guy" is will be different, but generally I try not to be "that guy". Very rarely "that guy" is a good guy, and then the whole philosophy breaks down, but most of the time that's not the case, and I am happy trying not to be "that guy".

As my blood type always says: be positive!

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