When coaching new psych nurses on the care of violent patients:
"Don't be scared. NEVER be stupid."
"you can fix dumb, but you can't fix lazy"
If you don't know, I can teach you. If you just don't want to learn, well that's a different story
Ignorance is ok but apathy is not
"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."
Everything is temporary
If it aint broke don't break it.
Fear the shorter or regret.
I'm short, fear me.
"Some days are just like that"
Always be prepared to be unprepared.
"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."
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'
...
Be the change you want in the world.
When I die, I hope to be surprised. It’s Oscar Wilde.
“You will die soon, keep doing cool shit”
"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's not going to matter on your deathbed it doesn't really matter.
Live in spite of everything.
So no more running. I aim to misbehave.
Every day, in every way, I improve myself
Any man can grab a tiger by it's balls, but it takes a real man to squeeze.
No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.
Keep on keepin' on...
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
In your deathbed you'll regret more the things you didn't do than what you did
