maxim = the material rule or principle used to guide a person in a particular situation about what to do (e.g., 'I should never tell a lie'). It thus provides a kind of bridge between a persons inner disposition and outer actions.
Niet alles wat hieronder staat voldoet aan de definitie van een maxim/stelregel, maar dat was toch niet de bedoeling van onderstaand berichtje dat ik gisteren ontving van een collega.

Niet alles wat hieronder staat voldoet aan de definitie van een maxim/stelregel, maar dat was toch niet de bedoeling van onderstaand berichtje dat ik gisteren ontving van een collega.
1) Life isn't like a box of chocolates, it's more like a jar of jalapenos; you never know what's going to burn your ass.
2) I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.
3) Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
4) Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If they aren't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing them again.
5)I don't have an attitude problem; you have a perception problem.
6) Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where in the hell is my ceiling?
7) My reality check bounced.
8) On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.
9) I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier!
10) You are slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.
11) Everyone is someone else's weirdo.
12) Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then defeat you with experience.
13) Be careful ... a pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the ass.
14) Don't be irreplaceable --- if you can't be replaced, you won't be promoted.
15) The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.
16) You can go anywhere you want; if you look serious and carry a clipboard.
17) So this isn't Home Sweet Home... Adjust!
18) I came, I saw, I decided to order take out.
19) Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.
20) I'd love to live life in the fast lane, but I am married to a speed bump. ▲ Collapse
