Six Words to Live By: Go!

Game? Improv Topic? Creative Writing Challenge?

ChatGPT Prompt? Whatever, here it is.

Six Words to Live By: Go!
  • Learn from mistakes that aren't yours.
  • Keep a skeptical eye on yourself.
  • Don't fill up on the bread.
  • Never lie to: doctors, feds, yourself.
  • Never stick yer dick in crazy.
  • Always split Aces and Eights. Always.

Life is too short for stuffiness.
Chocolate makes everything better, indulge often.
Do good things, you'll be fine.
Mysteries are good, leave them be.
Cherish the little things, healing follows.

The Big Kahuna (1999) is worth a little more than its 6.6 IMDB points. At the very end, the Kevin Spacey character offers advice, in a sequence of short sentences, to a young man. I've selected the ones with six words:
  • The world will spin without you;
    You don't matter in the end.
  • Do not worry about the future,
    or worry but know that worrying...
  • is like trying to solve an
    algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.
  • Do something every day that scares you.
  • Don't be reckless with others' hearts.
  • Don't suffer those reckless with yours.
  • Don't waste your time on jealousy.
  • Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults.
  • Keep all your old love letters.
  • Throw away your old bank statements.
  • Be kind to your knees; you'll
    miss them when they are gone.
  • Maybe you'll marry. Maybe you won't.
  • Understand that friends come and go,
    But hold on to the precious few
  • Live in New York City once,
    Leave before it makes you hard.
  • And live in Northern California once,
    Leave before it makes you soft.
  • Be careful whose advice you buy,
    Advice is a form of nostalgia.

Maybe Deadheads too but also any Tolkien Fans. In story, Bilbo wrote that line about Strider, better known as Aragorn.

All that is gold does not glitter;
Not all who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither.
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
