What is your motto? (lemmy.world)

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

Mine is: "Fear is shorter than regret."

"you can fix dumb, but you can't fix lazy"

If you don't know, I can teach you. If you just don't want to learn, well that's a different story

Ignorance is ok but apathy is not

Mind your own buisness.

I don't care about other peoples sexuality, gender fetishes, whatever. Its not my buisness and I have no right to judge them for their decision. You do you. As long as people aren't assholes or annoying as hell I don't care.

Don't craft a well thought out response to someone John Brown would have shot [absolutely necessary for getting through the internet] and don't give two weeks notice to a job that makes you miserable [absolutely necessary for leaving a shitty work situation].

If it aint broke don't break it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Just barely good enough is perfect.

Machines are for breaking & plans are for changing.

You can drive the schedule or the budget - not both.

No 'and then'

Always be prepared to be unprepared.

"And there's a funny thing about honesty; there's no two ways about it."

This quote from Lassie Come-Home comes up whenever I'm not sure if I should be honest about something bad that I've done. It's a pretty good motto.

That, and "Smile, tomorrow will be worse."

Fear the shorter or regret.

I'm short, fear me.

Live in spite of everything.

If it's not going to matter on your deathbed it doesn't really matter.

There is no such thing as an easy job if you are passionate enough.

When I die, I hope to be surprised. It’s Oscar Wilde.

"Don't stop dreaming, because the world is full of people who've stopped dreaming."

Probably no one said that, it's just what reminds me on so many things at once. It's so full of hope, confidence, happiness, interest into new things, overcoming obstacles, the future, laying off the monotone, enjoyment, pushing yourself further. I could interpret and fill so much into this. It also has a little bit of superiority in it, but that's because I often suffer under the negative Nancys and people who have given up, who try their best to drag you down.

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.

Are you a time traveler?

I mean I fly pretty low-key too, but you're allowed to have a quantum of impact on history, my folk. Life will go on (until eventually it doesn't).

Arn't we all time travlers? Just sitting in the right lane of spacetime with the cruise control on?

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