Personal Mottos

[Shorty]

or, words you live by.

Lately I've been trying to adopt "slow down." I speak before I think, I jump to conclusions, I go through motions without waiting to think about consequences or end results or I'm just plain sloppy and trying to get through something as quickly as possible so it comes out wrecked.

What are your personal mottos, or something that should be your personal motto/words you live by?

[Jinx]

I got my personal motto from a Fiona Apple song:

Be kind to me, or treat me mean--I make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

[Quindiana Jones]

I also take my motto from a song:

Get up, get on up,
Get up, get on up
Stay on the scene, get on up
Like a sex machine, get on up

Helped me through a lot of hard times.

[Shorty]

Hard times, eh?

[Laddy]

Life only sucks as much as you let it.

[Quindiana Jones]

Hard times, eh?

Yes, such as when I overcame a crippling leg injury.

[I Don't Need A Name]

I also take my motto from a song:

Get up, get on up,
Get up, get on up
Stay on the scene, get on up
Like a sex machine, get on up

Helped me through a lot of hard times.

When I read the word 'Get' I expected the lyrics to be

Get on up when you're down,
Baby, take a good look around,
I know it's not much, but it's okay,
We'll keep on moving on anyway

I feel dirty

[Quindiana Jones]

Jeff, you are a disgrace.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Remove me from this world, before I decapitate myself with a sponge

[Jowy]

keep being awesome. i try to every day.

[krissy]

just the tip

[Pike]

"slow down."

I can only hear this in the Pandaren voice from WoW. I'm sorry.

[Jinx]

"slow down."

I can only hear this in the Pandaren voice from WoW. I'm sorry.

Pike's motto: "10 more minutes."

[Denmark]

When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead.

True story.

Crack is whack.
