mine is something that ive been following since highschool...
"if you feel bad about something and i can do to something to make me feel better, i do it, i dont leave it inside me and allow it to cause me pain...i dont believe in regrets, if i have the power to change things, i do it, if not, i chalk it up into experience and simply leave it!"
whats yours? ...

yeah..about live and let live..i love that saying...its like...in a VERY small nutshells, Living has at its core mutual respect, tolerance & a willingness to be open to other views than your own ~ to be able to make a logical, sensible decision to accept the differences of things other than your own personal biases on things. As in, "Cool your jets & realize that you are not God's only living thing!..what do you think?

great thoughts....
u seem to give it a new definition..wat i usually connect with live and let live is that we need to enjoy life as we think it is and at the same time do not cause problems to somebody else...its much easy to say than to do it....

Whatever you want to do - go for it, even though it seems 'impossible' to do - just believe in yourself and take one step at a time ...
This is the power of positive thinking. Trusting and believing in yourself that you can do it, of course with divine intervention.

"Honesty is the best policy" thats my motto since I was in my grade school. My parents thought me the meaning of that. Always be honest in any word and action I do. And as much as possible be honest on my self.

yeah..in our lifetime..we can never please everybody..people will tend to love you the way you are and some tend to dislike you with whatever reasons...but we can go on with our life and not justify it to other why they dont like us..thats life! right?

Mine is to look for the truth no matter how deep it is hidden or how difficult it is to find. I do not take assumptions made by my culture for granted.
Many people live in ignorance, perpetuated by their culture. They do not realise that there are as many different world views as there are cultures. Blindly adhering to our cultural view without asking logical questions leads to bloodshed between opposing groups. Books written hundreds of years ago should no longer be used as guides for our moral life because these books contradict one another.
Instead we should lead a life based on modern ethical standards which any reasonable and ethical person would follow. It is so easy. If everyone were to live according to the rule that we should treat others according to how we would want to be treated, life would be easier for everyone. Of course, there are also other rules besides this which any moral person would follow.

thats more like following the Golden rule right? mostly when you work hard on finding the truth, most of the time, its not something that youre not ready to face...

My motto of life is to try and make at least one person happy every day, more if possible and then I will be happy within myself. it works for me and I always think that if everone made at least one person happy every day, it would make a difference in this world.

thats what im practicing right now...i make it to a point to do good deed every day, thinking about what people dont have and the blessing of good day. little by little, im finding contentment with what i have and what the family have, having a mind set that it will make our life easier if id be contented with what i have. its hard, with all the material things that eats you everyday, and the temptations around you...

I choose one of my mottos here, which is "The best things in life are free". Well, I belong to those who chase and love freedom and hate to be bound. It is the best to be free for me. Nothing else can be better than the freedom that I can enjoy.
