Science isn't an answer, it's a process.
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].
good enough is good enough
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.
Never break more than one law at a time.
"Different strokes for different folks."
It's a reminder that your preferences aren't the only acceptable way to feel. It's OK if some people like things you don't. On different scales, it's a lesson in tolerance.
It goes hand-in-hand with "Be excellent to each other." Kindness goes far!
Together I hope someday they lead to "Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding."
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'
...
When I die, I hope to be surprised. It’s Oscar Wilde.
Be the change you want in the world.
Fear the shorter or regret.
I'm short, fear me.
If it aint broke don't break it.
"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."
“You will die soon, keep doing cool shit”
"Some days are just like that"
Live in spite of everything.
If it's not going to matter on your deathbed it doesn't really matter.
Always be prepared to be unprepared.
There is no such thing as an easy job if you are passionate enough.
"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.
For food safety: When in doubt, throw it out.
"Kills bugs dead."
Everything is temporary
Conversely, nothing is permanent
DON'T PANIC
"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"
Live hard, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse
"I'm just a monkey lookin' at a monolith." said in the strong southern drawl possible.
Very good for technical situations where I'm stumped.
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on glue.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me... you can't get fooled again!
That's the motto (Mhm) Drop a few bills and pop a few champagne bottles (Mhm) Throwin' that money like you just won the lotto (Mhm)
- tiesto & ava max
JK. In all seriousness, I don't really have one XD.
"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.
