I know that this topic is kind of corny but I'm in a interesting mood. This mood has made me ask that question. No rules, just state what your life's motto or words you live your life on. You can put as much depth in to it as you wish, but please make it a sentance. Mine will given out later but I will give my old one
"Life sucks, Get over it!"
anyways, discuss
image fail!
I do have one actually. It actually comes from a chinese phrase meaning "Why be so serious?". It generally refers to attitude in life and work, as in enjoy it while you can. Youth doesn't last forever. Another one I go by (also translated from chinese proverb) is "Adapting to the situation as it changes", and "Go with the flow". All 3 are some what linked to one's perspective over life, and how not to be so hard on yourself.
"Our hearts are full of memories but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember." 天の道を行き、全てを司る。これは僕の世界。
well.. since i was going to say "kill the infidel!" i desided to go on a random quizz thingy, for it to tell me my motto, so here it is "Just shut up and get over it."
hum, ya that a good motto too
When I wake up in the morning "Sigh.....another day of boring school."
shit happens...
"I don't need a reason to live"
Your life belongs to you, so you can do anything you want with it, even lose it. The point in living is that something awesome might happen someday that makes it all worthwhile. Even if not, once you're dead that doesn't matter. In death, things like having lived happily or painfully or having wasted time don't matter.
Basically, life is worth living because it's free. Most of the time it sucks, but there's always the chance that it doesn't. Death might be cool too, but it costs your life.

I don't really have just one motto. I guess I employ different one's, based on whatever circumstance I'm in. So I guess a basic motto would be something to do with being able to adapt, sorta like Psyke's.
But my top 3 are:
1. "Don't be sad because it's over. Be happy because it happened." I have to tell myself this alot. Really puts a different perspective on things when I'm regretting something or "yearning for the good old days". As seriously as I take it, this ironically is a quote from Dr. Seuss.
2. "And then you wonder if you saw it, and you did." This is one I made up myself. Its basic message is "It doesn't matter if it's real or not. If you think it is, act on it" as that's about as much as anyone can do. I usually think of this one when I'm doubting my instincts, overanalyzing something or questioning whether I have grounds to act/say something. I also think of this one when to pull my head out of the clouds, when I'm harping on "wouldn't it be nice if..." and "if only..." when there's some stark evidence/experience to the contrary. I like this one cuz it can have lots of different meanings.
3. "Where would you rather be than right here, right now?" This is a quote from Marv Levy, the former coach (and current head of football operations) for the Buffalo Bills. This really isn't a motto, I know. But if you ask yourself it you'll find out alot about yourself and the situations you're often in. It is also a good motivational question. Depending on how you answer you might realize that you just have to grit it out and keep going on whatever path you chose. Other times you'll figure out that you are really in a spot you don't want to be, and that you'd be better off doing something else or going elsewhere.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
What does that even mean in the end... It's like an anti-excuse as it attempts to negate the need to explain. Certainly it's no advice.
the end justifies the mean
i dunno, i dont really live by it or follow it, but its kinda cool [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

"Its not cheating if you don't get caught"
Haha, that'll be mine.
"Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside me! But it'll help."
That's a nice Valentine's day motto...Originally posted by: Ero-Fan

Eh, I'm loyal to a fault, but it would be a funny one for Valentine's day, huh? I meant more in line with cheating to get ahead in life, not to get some. Tests, work, that kind of stuff.Originally posted by: Kraco

Heh. Yeah, I certainly didn't mean to imply anything. But when my dull mind once in a while happens to come up with something witty, and moreover it happened to be the single day in a year when it actually was witty, the only choice was to post. As a joke. Your post did give the intended impression, though. I just twisted it a bit.
I know it was a joke, but I just wanted to clear things up, since some people (not gonna name names) are so fucking serious about everything. They would have been like, "OMFG, Ero-Fan is such a scum-bag!" Not that this is that far off.Originally posted by: Kraco

My second motto: " Work is a good place to catch up on your sleep. Or post messages on a forum."
Edit: @Terra: Awesome, just purely awesome. I knew someone would do that! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
"Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside me! But it'll help."
My motto: "OMFG Ero-Fan is such a scum-bag!"
My real motto: "Det loser sig". Swedish for "it gets solved". Meaning that things always fall together eventually. Good words to live by, especially when sad.
