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."

What me worry?

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

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)

"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.

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

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'

"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.

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".
