Ask Lemmy

Everything is temporary

good enough is good enough

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].

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."

I discovered this one just yesterday, reading a Nero Wolfe detective novel. I kind of like it:

The avoidance of idiocy should be the primary and constant concern of every intelligent person. It is mine. I am sometimes successful.

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'

...

"Some days are just like that"

“You will die soon, keep doing cool shit”

When I die, I hope to be surprised. It’s Oscar Wilde.

If it's not going to matter on your deathbed it doesn't really matter.

"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."

Fear the shorter or regret.

I'm short, fear me.

Be the change you want in the world.

"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.

If it aint broke don't break it.

Live in spite of everything.

Always be prepared to be unprepared.

For food safety: When in doubt, throw it out.

There is no such thing as an easy job if you are passionate enough.

"You can't find the truth, you pick the lie you like best."

"Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it"

"Kills bugs dead."

Live hard, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse

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.

"Give them a hand and they'll want the arm."

In other words while it's okay to help people you need to be careful and impose some limits here and there, as people are naturally greedy and will burden you for their own benefit.

DON'T PANIC

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on glue.
