Do you have a philosophy by which you try or do indeed live?
As you might know, I try to live by this: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and only this moment is mine.
Yesterday is history:
This is because I cannot go back in time and change anything that has happened, even though I might like to do so. I similarly cannot change anything that I now regret, so I try not to think about them, just like I don't when I realise I should have said or done something else. I can only learn by my mistakes, so I like to be foreword thinking – not backward thinking.
Tomorrow is a mystery:
I do like to plan, but you never know what to expect because the future is a complete mystery. So although I like to plan, I try to realise that something might occur that alters it, although I always try to be optimistic.
Only this moment is mine:
So I try to live for today and get the most out of 'my' moment, for although I can plan for tomorrow, I don't know what will happen because it is a mystery.

:yes:
Fuck it all to Hell
Not exactly a philosophy but it works for me
Even if it isn't good enough, I try and do everything the best I can, then even if it's not good enough at least I've tried
That goes for just about everything in my life.
I am therefore the Queen of Procrastination
Do you mean shag everything going, or not care about anything?
That was one of Bob's gags on Wipeout today!
Depends on my mood at the time
Be nice to your colleagues. Then they won't realise that you are trying to get them the sack
But I always live to the same mantra you do, live for today because you'll regret what you didn't do, more than the things you did.
Life's a bitch, you marry one, THEN you die
I think thats a pretty good thing to go by.
I just take each day as it comes, Ive never been one for planning things as they've never turned out right but that doesnt mean I dont try and make it work. At the mo Im just making the most out of what I have, it may not be much, but Im happy
Mostly to have a quietish live...but this does me no favours.
So, it can be said that my philpsophy is "in development"
OMG, please dont tell me you watch that! Lol. You must have been bored
lol. Well, I woke up late and I like to lay in bed watching TV and drinking my tea for 30 mins or an hour if I can. It was on TV then.
wow.....Bob and I obviously have a lot in common...
grrrr i'm changing mine now!
OK - this is cute:
Drink and dance and laugh and lie,
Love the reeling midnight through
For tomorrow we shall die
But alas we never do
I'm still not going to do any work however!
'if its not broke, your not trying'
perfect
or the ones me and my friends live by
'its not a problem, its a hobby'
It's so true. Can only trust myself, and should never count on other people being more supportive on me, than what I am on myself. In the end, I am my biggest concern, while others have themselves as their biggest concern.
it wasn't much.
i couldn't feel
so i tried to touch.
i told the truth
i didn't come to fool ya.
and even though it all went wrong
i'll stand before the lord of song
with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah.
Mine's live without the rules.
You wanna do something? do it! Don't think about rules! I like spontaneousness!
Definitely! It's odd, though, because it always seems to be 15 days. Never known why.
Ahem, 16 days. Get it right Mr
To the end of the world?
*sings* It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it - and I feel fine. */sings*
Prob will be for me
Ok, no-one else has a damn clue what we are talking about do they?
*Just smile and no-one will notice*
thats been mine for quite some time now! and it was my dad's before me.. kinda a family outlook lol
