Read the story of Karen Switzer. First woman to run a marathon it's truly remarkable. That's the principles to live your life by. Never allow someone to tell you you can't and when the bastards try to pull you down ... run  |

One principle isn't enough.
What can be great advice in one scenario can be a terrible thing to do in another.
Lots of principles and the wisdom to choose between them is what I'm after.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Its been my desktop pic for years .. i try to always remember this and live by it as best I can.

I was given Desiderata by Max Ehrmann when I was 12 by a family member and it's still got pride of place on my wall. It sums up so much for me regardless of whether you are religious or not. |

"Treat others how you want to be treated
This is probably my biggest philosophy for life
What about complete cunts though. They need to be treated like complete cunts!  "
I've been very lucky not to have met many of those in my life  |

"Phenomenal achievement by her still runs today..women of today should read her story."
Just realised I said Karen when her name is katherine.... she ran when women were banned as medical doctors said running get would damage our wombs .. cause us to become masculine and was considered very dangerous for women. She's a remarkable woman. This year as a woman of over 70 she ran the Boston marathon in the same time as her first marathon all those years ago ... 4hrs30. Inspiring stuff |

I'm just think about the desiderata here and painful memories are returning of a school principal who taught Christian Doctrine in my school in the early eighties. He decided we all needed to learn it off by heart overnight and decided to beat it into us. The irony of the opening line.. "go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence" obviously escaped him as he beat the shit out of a class of thirteen year olds. I've never liked it since that. |

Try to live life in the moment with a realisation that both the good and bad times in life are temporary, that emotions are caused by perception and are worth noticing but not as a self identity. What we perceive is often due to bias and the human sensory system is exceptionally prone to error. "Going with your gut" very often isn't the correct way to respond to a situation as we often have conditioned responses that lead us to falsely identify a secondary situation as having the same outcome as a previous encounter. I try to educate myself as often as I can with knowldge particularly with philosophy and scientific matters. To try to be a positive influence on my own growth. |

Reminds me of a best friends Mum always saying Expect very little, there's a bigger likelihood you'll be happily surprised
Not if you're meeting me but it works in general |
