Ask HN: What's Your Personal Motto?
Do you have a personal motto and what it is? > While our immediate
problems tend to distract us in everyday life, having a mantra can
help us stay in touch with our deepest goals. Mottos ultimately can
do many things, such as increase your productivity, inspire you, or
help you change a habit. [1] [1] 9 Reasons You Need a Personal

| Armor fati.

| In our age of digital Devices and social media, we are used to
| having instant access to information and news. This can be a good
| thing, but it can also lead to information overload and anxiety.
| The constant stream of alerts and notifications can make it
| difficult to focus, and we can become bombarded with so much
| information that it becomes difficult to process it all.
|
| The Latin phrase "armor fati" means "to armor oneself against
| fate." In other words, it means to be prepared for the worst.
| This is a good mindset to have in our fast-paced, constantly-
| connected world. We should take the time to step back and assess
| the situation, rather than blindly following the latest news
| cycle.
|
| Of course, this is not to say that we should live in fear or
| ignore the news altogether. But we should be mindful of how much
| information we consume, and make sure that we are taking the time
| to process it all. Otherwise, we may find ourselves overwhelmed
| and bogged down by the constant deluge of information.

| (I don't really have a "motto", this is a good mantra though)

| All philosophy boils down to those two words in the end.

| Edit: of course that I use it mostly when something bad
