What is your motto? (lemmy.world)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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

Mine is: "Fear is shorter than regret."

What me worry?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

You can't change the past and can't control the present. Deal with the future.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

"If you don't want life you fuck you, be a dick, not an asshole" /J

I don't actually have a life motto, but I do like hearing other people's. I'll find one that jives with me eventually, till then I survive.

Every day, in every way, I improve myself

"You can't find the truth, you pick the lie you like best."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

What's wrong with "I don't know"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Keep on keepin' on...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

In your deathbed you'll regret more the things you didn't do than what you did

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'd rather have the ugly truth than pretty lies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Reminds me of a line out of a book, don't remember which one, but it was along the lines of 'if you can't say yes, then answer anyway, because I'd rather die with the answer than live with the question'

Take it sleazy! Maximum effort all the time has only ever gotten me exhausted and useless. Save your strength for when you need it.

(at least, that works for me)

Dont break the weekend rules

  • Do NOT add to the population
  • Do NOT subtract from the population
  • Do not ever do anything that will have you end up in the newspaper, hospital or jail.
    • If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.

Also dont do anything you would be afraid to explain to the paramedics.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Never be afraid of paramedics, they aren't there to rat you out. They just want to know what they need to do to make you better/not worse. They hate paperwork as much as anyone, and a dead patient is a ton of paperwork.

"Schlimmer geht immer"

It can always be worse.

Not really my motto but a phrase I find myself thinking often in the last couple months.

"Kills bugs dead."

"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (5 children)

"Give them a hand and they'll want the arm."

In other words while it's okay to help people you need to be careful and impose some limits here and there, as people are naturally greedy and will burden you for their own benefit.

As my blood type always says: be positive!

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

"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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

To follow up with yours.

"It has to be worth the calories."

If you're going to eat unhealthy then make sure it's damn tasty and not sad eating.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That is the worst when it happens. Like the calories sure are there how they make this pizza/burguer/soda/whatever tastes so bland?

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 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.
