    Maxims You Go By

    In class today, we were telling what maxims we go by in life and I thought it was pretty kewl. So I wanted to know what maxims yall go by and then explain why you go by it and what exactly does it mean if it's kinda confusing.

    Incase you don't know what it means, it basically means what quote you go by in life. But anyways, I don't really have one but I found one that I thought was pretty cool.

    "If its gets you there, take it."

    Alright, go on and share.

    If your gonna do it, do it right.

    If you can drive it till it breaks, then do it.

    and finally,
    When the idea challenges everything everyone knows for sure, its 100% right.
    When the idea challenges everything YOU know, its 50% wrong.

    For driving:
    "Cogito Ergo Zoom" which is "I think therefore I go fast" which is a moniker of "Cogito ergo sum" that means "I think therefore I exist", taken from Automobile magazine in late 80s early 90s.
    "If you are 100% under control you are driving too slow", or something close to that, by Mario Andretti.
    Getting there is half the pleasure

    For life in general:

    Make It Happen - Me
    Do to others as you want done unto you

    If you have a skill or make a lot of money, put them to use helping others.

    Take life one day at a time.

    If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it was never meant to be.*

    *NOTE TO MEMBERS- do not try this with your car whilst driving. If it is an animal, it will not come back. If it is a woman, she will shack up with the next guy who has a bigger wallet.

    Others... um...

    I love you.
