Main focus is remain focused
“If you can stand, you can work.”
“Try anything at least once” be it food or an experience you don’t know until you try. You learn about the world, about others and most importantly about yourself.
What about crimes, drugs, very niche hobbies?

My cousin has a similar one, but it’s “try anything twice”. Often times your first experience in something may be rough but the second go around can be significantly better. Or in the case of food, sometimes the first time you tried it was from someone who didn’t know how to do the dish justice, or bad ingredients put into it.
Have you ever went skydiving? Not a gotcha, just actually curious. I kinda want to.
Did enough of that in the army my knees put that in the category of did a bunch of times and dont ever want to do it again. Jumping at night is the worst. I also hated packing my chute the most.
Do it right, or do it twice.
Niiiice.
Talk to me nice. Or don’t talk to me twice
Expect it to get worse. Either I’m wrong and pleasantly surprised or I get to be right as a consolation prize. Also encourages me to plan ahead so when things go bad, I don’t spend as much time mid-crisis figuring out what to do.

While I mostly adhered to this for decades it made me depressed and I missed the point of fighting for my needs. So while I am still open to all developments I aim for my well being more.

“Don’t be a cunt”
“I pretended to be the person I wanted to be until I became that person, or he became me.” Attributed to Cary Grant. On the days I wake up feeling miles away from the person I want to be, I can pretend.
If you’re gonna be stupid, be smart about it.
treat people how THEY want to be treated. don’t treat people how YOU want to be treated, cuz you aren’t the same as everyone else.
golden rule is trash.
The golden rule is a oversimplification of Kants categorical imperative which is
“Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.”
So it actually accounts for people being different by saying it has to be applicable to everyone (universal law).
