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."

"Don't give a shit."

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".

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

anything you know could be wrong

As my blood type always says: be positive!

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

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"

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.

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

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

Sums up my life pretty well.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I have one but I'll tell ya later.

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

If you don't know why, somebody else does.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 3 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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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

Sadness is just as temporary as happiness

Your lack of planning is not my emergency.
