You mean it would kill many of them.. 
I’m not seeing a problem there "

"If so what is it and why? 
Walk a mile in a mans/women's shoe before you judge them  because you never know what's going on in their life or head "
And also because when you do, you’ll be a mile away and you’ll have their shoes |

"No amount of money ever bought a second of time.
Simply put I live in the now"
No, but having money means you can do what you like with your time, instead of being stuck at work. |

The good will out.
As in; whatever shit storm you're in, if you're the good guy people will realise eventually. Say little and ride it out. It might take a while but you'll come out on top. If you were in the right that is.

Happy Mind Happy Life …. So much negativity in world these days personally I try and distance myself from it and people who want to spread it !! Yes we all have our troubles and ups and downs life is difficult and challenging but when you think negative you just spread it into your mind like a disease and infect others, i always start my day with positive thinking and a smile just for my own well being. |

Two main ones for me (Mr):
You can't change the wind but you can adjust the sail.
And
You can only piss with the dick you've got.
Generally they are both about accepting that life doesn't always go your way, throws spanners in the works and that we all have our weaknesses and flaws. But that doesn't mean give up, it means look to what we can do and make the very best to succeed with what we got however grim the situation seems. Focus on what you got that is good and you can use (however small). Not dwell on obstacles and inadequacies. And most of all don't surrender, never give up but don't be afraid to change course. In my experience it's this attitude that's seen me through many a rough sea and out the other end.

A law in nature states that if something isn’t growing, then it’s dying.
It reminds me every day to do everything I can to become the best version of myself |

When I was younger it was "never compromise and you will never live a lie". As I've gotten older I discovered that life is all about adjustment and compromise and I was a massive dick as a kid ;-p |

Although George Bernard Shaw once said: "The reasonable man adapts to the world around him. The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man".
He wouldn't have thought you were such a dick  |

Mines the same...
I love pithy "mottos" or sayings... My other is..
people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel
They are usually very easy to say... But much harder to do |

I have a few, but my current one is for work when it's driving me mad
Murder is a crime and I'm too pretty for prison!
Completely tongue in cheek, please don't think I'm that up my own ass that I think I'm actually too pretty for prison!! |

There's a third actually. And I need to give the background to it. Joost van der westhuizen... South African rugby player. Was a bit of a hero of mine. Outragously talented and handsome. And struck down by MND. If you Google joist van der westhuizen BBC interview... There's a short interview with him in the later stages of the disease. The juxtaposition of him in his prime and struggling to make himself understood is very stark. Towards the end of the 3 minute interview he says..
"there are two things we as humans take for granted, that is health and time."
Take a few minutes and watch it. It will be worth it. |

I have a few.
Die with memories, not dreams
Be a rainbow in someone else's cloud
There's magic on the other side of fear
A slightly more negative one which I'm definitely feeling at the moment is 'Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed'

"What's a motto?
Nothing. What's a motto with you?
Can’t believe he kept ‘Vienna’ by Ultravox from the number one spot."

You don't extinguish the flame by lighting another's candle.
Give someone a break, a helping hand, kindness, new thinking, new skills... make good things happen around others (it won't kill you!)
Be yourself - be your best self.

I have three I go by
If you don’t like where you are in life.. move , you’re not a tree.
People ask is the glass half full or half empty.. they miss the point. The glass is refillable
When you truly don’t care what anybody else thinks, then you have reached an awesome level of freedom. |

"Mine is;
"Per aspera ad astra" - "Through Hardships to the stars"
It reminds me of my own struggles and to remember to look up at the stars. "
I really like that one. |

Thanks, I'm tempted to have this tattoo'd on me somewhere, small one. Maybe on the wrist or something. |
