Richard Osman's is who dares loses according to him on who wants to be a millionaire, what would yours be ?

Don't waste energy on things you cannot change.

That includes emotional energy, not just physical or mental, and things you cannot change covers things that have already happened.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Don’t count the days, make the days count.

No platitudes.

If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it then don't. Your life is your own.

You can't change the wind but you can adjust the sails.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

This too will pass.

1. If if doesn't make your life better then don't do it (which is sort of a take on the American History X when Samuel L Jacksons character asks Ed Norton 'Has anything you've done made your life better?'

Fuck it, that'll do.

How you something is how you do anything

I like fuck it too

You must become the change you need

Took me a while of mulling this one over years ago before iv finally learnt to apply it to most things in life.

If it's meant to be and things come to those who wait. Both have helped me at various times.
