I go by my old school's motto. Live, Laugh, Learn. The 3 L's in my life I'm good at the learning, but not the laughing or the living I guess I have to work on those parts of me that are always stressed out.

I believe that the justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized, public manifestations. The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity. Through the ministrations of radio and the phonograph, we are rapidly and quite properly learning to appreciate the elements of aesthetic narcissism -- and I use that word in its best sense -- and are awakening to the challenge that each man contemplatively create his own divinity.

The greatest aspie EVER!! !! I love GG. If only he were still alive.

*Be true to yourself
All ways to be have it's enemys and friends. But beeing real is less work and often give the best friends.
*Do not complain
If no one can help you, or no one ask you, there's no reason to say it. It just troubles them
*Don't judge to fast
There's always a reason for how things are, or how people think, try to understand before judging.

At least I try to follow them. The "Do not complain" one is a bit hard though, as i tend to seek attention and support even if it can't be helped.
Or wait, does it have to be someone else who made them up?

This is definetely what I live by. Not complaining comes excessively easy so long as I can live by this one. I think it's where almost all of my understanding of people comes from. O.o

If someone doesn't like you for who you are, and you are simply being true to yourself, screw them, they are not worth your time.

Remember the past, live in the present and don't fear the future, for it never existed and never will. There is only now.

live

There are some proverbs that make me think, but Henry David Thoreau has made some sense

I can't quote him from memory, but he said something about wondering whether or not he had lived at all when he dies.

run

that's another one word that I live by and how I live
