Re: personal mottos

"Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is a mystery; so all we have to live is the Present and it's just that...a present."

Basically...live each day as though it's your last because we all know we're going to die someday but none of us knows when so make sure everyday counts.

Although...when it comes to homework...why do what I can today if I can do it tomorrow because if I die, I doubt my teacher's going to ask "Well...did she atleast finish her homework before she died?" at my funeral

Re: personal mottos

Oh my...Um...I would not encourage students to live by that motto at all and neither should you. I would hate to see anyone's death because they followed that one and if your track record wasn't enough to scare them from it...mmm...I dunno what would.

Wear a seat belt atleast!

My favorite quote comes from who else, but Mr. Sean Connery...
