My Personal Mottos

I read an article 202207171823 at some point that detailed that you should have starting principles in life to do cool stuff with your principles. If productivity advice that you get isn’t either supplementing or replacing one of your starting principles, it’s basically useful. With that in mind, I’m going to try to enumerate my “starting principles” here, but instead of calling them starting principles, I’m going to call them personal mottos, because that sounds less scary.
