Howdy Stackers!!
Life is a complicated book full of unresolved mysteries. For this reason everyone adore to have guiding life principles.
However, I believe the key to life is just three things: self-confidence, honesty, and courage, there are many others that we almost always want to inculcate in ourselves.
Here are a few interesting principles that are worth mentioning:
  1. Rise and rise until lamb becomes lion. This means never ever give up.
  2. Have patience and perseverance in life ( this line is my favorite ).
  3. To live alone is the fate of all great souls.
  4. We all need to believe that something extraordinary is possible.
  5. The greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart, all you need is love.
  6. Life is a box of chocolates. You never know what you gonna get.
  7. Hope is a good thing. No good thing ever dies.
  8. Everything takes time. You can't produce a baby in one month by making nine women pregnant.
  9. Pursue your goal without fear. Time passes too fast.
So, with that being said, I'm just curious to know—

What's your favourite Life Principle that keeps you moving ahead in all weathers?

Also, what's the life principle that you think everyone should abide by?

My favourite principles:
Shit happens. Money is hard to earn. (Actually I say it in Chinese - 钱难赚 (qian nan zhuan) Just do one thing at a time.

Yours a Chinese, I guess. That's awesome, Chinese people are very hard working.
Why is it hard to earn?
Yes, doing one thing at a time makes life much simpler.

Teachers wear many hats and have to fulfill many admin n logistic tasks. Not that these tasks are necessarily meaningless, just that it keeps me from doing the work I desire
reply
Ahh! So, you're a teacher. I teach in a college, thank God! Don't have to do other stuff than teaching. Teaching is fun but I do believe sometimes some other work can bring fun. But mostly it's boring.
reply
I have posted this before. More like life advice than a life principle.
Be active. Be curious. Work hard. Take care of your family. Control what you can and don’t sweat that which you cannot. Stay humble. Stack sats.

Chop wood, carry water!

Yes, this is the way ahead. I'm developing it into me.
Thanks!

Yes, swearing for something that you can't just makes life boring. IMO, You need to create life principles or rules or your guiding buttons in the early days of your life.
Thanks for the advice.

My sacred principle to a happy life has been the same since I was little:
"Ask your fathers for a lil brother you can love through bulling but he can't escape you because he is your lil brother" , always bring me a smile :') ... he is in his 20's now and still can't escape me :')
reply
It brought a smile to my face

Amazing! Yes these small things really bring the real joy to life.

Good question! I have always believed that some patience with hard work and perseverance is an essential life principle that everyone must adore.
Personally, I've only one principle (I don't wanna be jailed into my own perspective)
..... Enjoy life to the fullest in a positive way.
