    To me, the three most important principles to live by are:
    1. Treat others the way you want to be treated
    2. Engage your faith in God
    3. Love others and love God

    three most important principles to live :

    Courage to fulfill your dreams, to face the world
    Confident to trust and believe in how great you can be
    Love cuz you’re loved, the reason to stay alive

  4. I’ll share 3 things my Dad always told me. He was a wise man; of few words:

    1 – Always keep your eye on the ball. (He was teaching me to play ball, but I have since realized that it speaks to focus, no matter what your situation.)

    2 – Always look forward. (Never look back. He lived through the great depression, near-death experiences in WWII and as a police officer, and recovered from a stroke, because he was always looking forward to something in the FUTURE.)

    3 – Always pay CASH. (“Son, you should always GET interest, but never PAY it. If you have to take a mortgage, double-up and pay it off as soon as you can.”

    Principles are unwavering and set in stone.

    They don’t change with the winds, whim, or convenience.

    Not if they are real principles anyway ..

    Today we live in a very complex world.

    And this world will challenge our principles like nothing ever before. The Middle East, free trade, human rights, and cloning are all examples of the modern day complexities that can cause us to examine our principles.

    Each year progress and technology create new and complex political, philosophical, and intellectual dilemmas.

    In response to this, politicians, the media, and society in general often talk of compromise.

    They would have you believe that today’s world is now so complex that general principles no longer work. They argue that we must all compromise more, so that everyone can benefit.

    And that is the problem with the world today. It’s “tribal thought” and it’s one reason so many people are sick, broke, and unhappy. Because it is only your ability of forming principles that allow you to deal effectively and positively with the complexity of life today.

    This denial of principle in ethics, government and relationships is why things are so messed up.

    In many cases, compromise solves the immediate problem, but actually creates more complexity, and more challenges for the future. When this happens, it’s because you violated a principle, for the sake of compromise.

    Dear Niko

    Greetings. You are such a wonderful person. I loved reading wonderful life sayings and advices like that you give. Keep it up. However, I want to share with you or others what I think 3 Principles to Live By:
    1. Always accept who you are. Only then you will appreciate who you are.
    2. Never give up in life. Be patient all the time. Whatever comes your way never give up. Finally things will be alright in the end.
    3. What ever other people say bad things about you or think about you, never let it border you because it will suppress and disturb you in your life. Always believe in your self and you will still stand.

    Thank you and this is my 3 priciple in life that I always follow. May be it can help others too.

    Steady yourself. Keeping a balance, living in the moment, and maintaining control of your emotions brings true peace. Never deny how you feel but ask yourself why and come to terms with all your answers before you speak. See clearly.

    Remember that true love is when you allow for error, truly understand and accept the other person for who they choose to be, and never expect them to change for you as you should never change for them. Love unconditionally.

    Never close your eyes to understanding, never stop growing, never stop absorbing the world around you. See things for what they truly are and never fear them. You are a constantly evolving being. Never be afraid to change.

    Niko, curious how you would answer your question?

    1. Believe that the universe is ultimately a good and friendly place/force.
    2. Be personally contemplative and discerning, but not globally “judgmental”.
    3. Continually redefine your concept of love…then love, love love!
