Personal Philosophy

[davywavy]

Chatting last night to rosamicula got me thinking about personal philosophies; those self-defining beliefs or statements which go so far to defining our self image and our actions.
For example; the statement "I wonder what happens if I do this?" could be said to be a personal philosophy of mine as it has had a great effect on my actions (usually when presented with large red buttons marked "Do not press", or scantily clad womenfolk who are at least nominally attached to close personal friends) and has got me into a good deal of trouble in my time. It summarises curiousity and action, and I like to think that I let those things define a lot of my actions.
It's just a shame about the consequences, really.

So that's the question I'm putting to you, gentle reader. Pick one sentence which exemplifies your personal philosophy, and explain why you chose it.

"i can do anything".
Don't have to be a sheep, think for self, go do own thing, world is oyster etc... The freedom to choose and to go my own way, and have faith that i can do it, or at least have a go and its not the end of the world if it doesn't happen as there are so many new things to try...
dreams... only come true if you chase em... and all that :)
When you have nothing left to lose you can do anything you want.

Also a good one, and one which I personally subscribe to.
