Personal Motto~ - Khoi - 2011-01-24
This is from a game, and yet I take it to heart, regardless. It actually makes a lot of sense (to me), and it actually has impacted my life significantly. I don't feel the need to be overly reliant on others.
"Don't depend on others. Walk on your own two legs."
This is also another:
"Pursue the unknowable. Books and the university can't possibly teach you everything there is to know, so use your own eyes to see the world..."

It was a more succinct form of "If you attack me you better make sure I die instantly because otherwise you'll just piss me off and I guarantee I won't make the same mistake with you."

Well, the native german doesn't flow so well.
Quote:Wenn Sie mich angreifen besser sicherstellen, dass ich sterben sofort, weil Sie sonst nur dann piss me off, und ich garantiere ich will nicht den gleichen Fehler machen mit Ihnen.
or fit so nicely on a family crest in latin.

I'd quote the German, but I'd forget what it meant eventually.

Working:
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
"A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be."
Life:
I'll die one day.

Is there a positive spin on that... or just as is? lol asking out of pure curiousity

"Don't throw stones if you have crystal ceiling."
Or something like that, doesn't sounds good in English.

It's positive. It is to stop my meaningless never-ending depression cycles. Once you're aware of something imminent, you stop being afraid of it, or any bullsh'it to a lesser extent compared to it.

The english equivalent is "People in glass houses should not throw stones", I believe.

If you want something done right, do it yourself
I don't know who said it. I just made it up and believe it. I don't like being forced to rely on other people and I don't like it when people scold me for doing something wrong when they were asking me to do something with nothing in return. If you want it done right, do it yourself.

When I am, death is not. When death is, I am not.
Aka, don't fear death and enjoy life.

We have a similar one;
"if the worst that can happen to you is death then you have nothing to fear because when it happens you'll be beyond caring."
