“Is this worth fighting over?”
“I’ve made more expensive mistakes than this.”
“If you can choose between laughing and getting angry, laugh.”
Act, don’t re-act.
Life is to short to be easily insulted. If they are my friends, they don’t mean it. If they aren’t my friends, I don’t care.

This reminds me of my additional commands (apologies to Moses and Yaweh):
-
Be as nice as you can.
-
Admit it when you’re wrong
-
Don’t talk about things you don’t know about.
-
Make sure of the directions
I have a mantra, too, which I have had to chant many times, especially when teaching and tutoring: “Being dumb is not a character flaw”.
“Damn it! It’s not a third nipple - it’s a chicken-pox scar!”
Don’t sweat the small stuff. And most of it’s small stuff.
But if it’s important, don’t back down for anything.
Be true to yourself.
I may be lost, but I’m making good time.

It is what it is.

Mind your own business.
Life is too short to be taken seriously
this is not a dress rehearsal.
any job that is worth doing is worth doing well
