    ^ sounds nice.... I envy those who can live that philosophy....

    Anyway, another one I believe in:

    Every cloud has a silver lining, but those who look for it are unaware of an oncoming lightning until it's too late.

    Don't recall exact phrasing..something like..
    "To command nature, nature must be obeyed" - Ayn Rand

    Something chess players sometimes say..
    "Nobody ever won a game by resigning."

    if your leg break, just keep walking, if your head cut off and u die, don't care!

    everything is illusion! theres a reason in everything!

    don't get think you're someone because of your knowledge. don't think you are one who knows.

    if someone speaks evil things to you, be silent. he will be nothing when your self control are greater than his words.

    if you don't have a goal, you're dead.

    nothing is certain. believe in nothing but yourself.

    Existentialism

    I finally found a way of thinking I hate more than Christianity.

    anyway, the thing that drives me is not really a fancy quote, I simply follow this advice: when I am 80, what will I think of my self now?

    if I can look at my current life through the eyes of a deathbed self and say "I made the right choices" then I on the right track.

    why do u hate it? is it because you're afraid to die (stop existing)? i'm not... so when i think everything is illusion, it gives me more power to live.

    This is an incorrect usage of the word 'philosophy' but...

    I have two:

    If you're not supposed to be somewhere/doing something, just act like you are...and no one will notice.
    If something happens/is happening that you don't like, pretend that it isn't and it might make itself right. (Sort of like, a more hardcore version of don't worry about things you can't fix.)

    How dreamy.... I mean it actually, most of the time, irrecoverably wrong things in my life keep ruining me, how can I not worry about them

    If it isn't ideal, it isn't real. - Cool Skill

    Great power = Great responisibility. - Spiderman

    You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it. - Back 2 the Future

    The ability to take action is the most important ability one can develop. - Anthony Robbins.

    Ignorance is not the lack of knowledge. Ignorance is the lack of desire for knowledge. - Cool Skill

    Your decisions control your life. Not your circumstances. When you make a real decision, reality will adjust itself around you. Decide to live, decide to be wealthy, decide to be happy, decide to be healthy, decide to be intelligent, and decide to decide. - Cool Skill

    Ethical = Practical. Something is not unethical because it is harmful. Something is harmful because it is unethical. - Cool Skill

    Cool is the appeal in every aspect of your being. Skill is the art at the essense of your technique. - Cool Skill
