What is your motto? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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."

Life's too serious for me to take it seriously.

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

Jack of all trades, master of one.

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.

As my blood type always says: be positive!

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

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".

"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.

I don't have a motto but if anyone is looking for one "This page intentionally left blank." would be amazing

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 2 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.

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.
