What is your motto in life? What is the reason why you make that motto in life? For me my motto in life is "Love my neighbor as myself" Why? because if you love your neighbor as yourself, definitely you will be blessed someday because in return they will love also you as theirselves. Good luck in telling your mottO.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I believe in treating people the way I want to be treated. I believe what comes goes around, comes around. If you treat people wrong, you will be treated wrong. If your nice, you will get niceness back.

Wow that is great my friend. It is also like saying that love your neighbor as yourself because if you love your neighbor as yourself, you dont want to do things that makes your neighbor harmed. And also if you treat your neighbor what is good in them, then they will also treat you back the you treat them. It is like sowing and reaping principles my friend. If you saw more seeds, then eventually you will reap more productions. That's it my friend.

Mine is from a song called Beautiful Boy, by John Lennon: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." I think that line is a wonderful reminder to live in the now. Tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us but we do have right now -- it is a sad fact that we all too often fail to enjoy what is right in front of us, instead worrying and planning for the future.

It reminds me to enjoy my life -- which I do. I make the time for my family since they are what matters most to me and I focus on what is going on rather than worrying about what may or may not happen in the future.

"SuCkiNg OuT aLL tHe MaRrOw oF LiFe DoEsN't MeAn ChOkiNg oN tHe bOnE" That is my motto. It means in everything we do, we should put all our love and passion in it so that we will seize the day and enjoy life to the fullest. It defines the true meaning of your existence in this world. You have to be adventurous and curious in all things, but of course you have to know your limitations and the consequences it brings.

Well, I would go with my favorite quote "Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first." - Ernestine Ulmer. I even printed that on my address cards. It just seems so true. A lot of people put off things they really want to do, thinking they'll have time for it later. I don't literally eat dessert before dinner, but I do make sure to enjoy myself when I can instead of leaving "dessert" for some time in the distance future. You never know what's gonna happen, so you don't want to miss out :)

It just like saying again my friend that "You should love your neighbor our yourself" right my friend? Treating bad to others will resultedly treating you bad back also. What you saw is what you reap. If you treat others good then, you will benificiary of it, right my friend? Treating others the way want to treat you is also the same as caring yourself because if you treat them good, eventually they will treat you good also. It is for our own good if we treat others properly. More power to you my friend.

I try to live by a few Only trying to please people that will make it worth my while (ie through appreciation whether they show it or not, or by rewarding you in return) Be polite, dress smart, wear a smile. Never hit a girl unless they are putting you in major size danger (stabbing you, trying to kill you, remove limbs, run you over etc) and only then if its to help you escape. Just a few things, all will be controvertial.

That's great my friend. We are created by God to enjoy the life that are here in earth. But the question my friend, what is the object of your enjoyment? The object of your enjoyment also determines what you are right? If you are enjoying God, then you are religious. If you are enjoying evil things then you are evilous person. But how can a person enjoy anything else that can glorify God? What is your opinion about this my friend?

That is a good idea and motto my friend. If you have that kind of motto, then you will have confidence in your life. Here in life, we need more confidence and we need not to fear. But it is right not to fear because you rely only in yourself? I think no. What is your reasong of accomplishing everything with out fear? For me, i can do all things through Christ who gives me strenght. I have no fear in life my friend because God said, "If God is with us, who can be against us." I think that is my reason my friend. More power my friend.

Wow that is great my friend. But, i think, it will again be summed up to "Love your neighbor as yourself." You see, if you love your neigbors as yourself, you don't to do to others the things that you don't want to do you you. I think God is great when he said that "Love your neigbor as yourself because if your will truly analyze that commands, you will then amazed that you will do the things that will help and cause good things to your neighbor. more power to you my friend.

My motto is "Don't take life seriously after all no one has ever come out of it alive." I heard that from Bugs Bunny. I am trying to practice the motto. To be honest, I am having a hard time because of stress surrounding me. Why did I chose this motto. Basically because it promotes the bright side of everything. Like, there's a solution for every problem, a smile for every tear, and other stuff.

I see. YOu have a point my friend. But in your observation my friend, what are the bad effects of believing this kind of motto? I think for me, not all the time you will not take life seriously because there were instances in life that we can and we must need sersious acts. I think sometimes we don't take life seroiusly and sometimes we have to take it seriously. That's it my friend. You have the point and i hope it will help other mylot members.

Everything happens for a reason. Well, for me, if something bad happens to us, everything has a reason behind it. I never really believe that things happen just because it's suppossed to happen. Some things happen, maybe to teach us some lessons in life, to make us a stronger person. :)
