What is Your No.1 Motto in Life?

[jankren]

This is mine,

"You only feel like you miss on something if you think you want that something."

[♔Goodguy1066♔]

I think this song can count as one huge motto:

Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle.
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And....
Always look on the bright side of life, (whistle)
Always look on the bright side of life, (whistle)
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life. (whistle)
Come on...
Always look on the bright side of life...
For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word,
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin,
Give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death,
Just before you draw your terminal breath,
Life's a piece of ,
When you look at it,
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life,
Always look on the right side of life,
Come on guys, cheer up.
Always look on the bright side of life.
Worse things happen at sea, you know.
Always look on the bright side of life.
I mean - what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing,
you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!
(fade...)

You will only ever exceed at something if you're passionate about it.

Happy People Make the World Better, and Unhappy People Make the World Worse.

Admittedly, it is lifted completely from someone else; in short, I use Gaudium to distinguish it from that mentor. Gaudium is joy, joy, and joy in all things. Whether you are an enlightened sort who sees too much sorrow in the world to be happy or the person who is too busy for endless joy, it still applies. One tautology is just as good as the other, so long as joy is the result. You cannot have a good world without sheer joy on a human level. Was Marx happy? Lenin? Stalin? Hitler? Pol-Pot? Osama bin Laden? Never mind their religious beliefs; manifestly, they never even tried to be happy for themselves or for others, and were glad to be miserly in their dispensation of Joy. Happy people don't plan crimes or carry out immoral acts.

Hey, I quite like that. Maybe I'll steal that for myself, too.

The more happy-acting people there are, the better!

I'm sure Hitler was quite happy when he became Führer, though.

That... is really so ridiculous that I can't answer it. I know the answer, but there's just no point.

"One day, I'm going to die."

It really puts things in perspective.
