You can do something with life or you can let it pass you by. Your choice.
I take my life philosophies from music, for example:
1. When it's time to party, we will always party hard
2. Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel.
3. I won't sit down and I won't shut up, but most of all I will not grow up.
I don't always adhere to these rules.
