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."

"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.

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.

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".

Never trust anything with a beak. Except for crows; crows are bros.

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