What's your motto? Is it helpful to you? or just isolated from your life?

Quite many people have their own motto.
Actually, I don't have any specific motto right now.
Even though I have my own conviction, I think motto is in itself not "that" useful to me.
And sometimes it just sounds like lofty, but not practical.

I want to know your personal motto and how it has influenced your life.

:D

      Jan 11 2012: Wow, inspiring!
      You know what?You and I have a very similar attitude :)
      But the difference between us is: You call yourself "water"
      I call myself "clay"
      I love flexibility, but there has to be at least a shape.

      Great comment! Thanks
