I feel German. When I turn off a light I don't need or when I (temporarily) sort my trash.

Turn it up.

This is like turning down the volume on your radio so as not to hear the bad news. You will not hear much good news either.

This is like censoring the news: you hear things loud and clear, but they may not be so interesting.

Johan van Benthem: What one may come to know

I like the one I have.

I do not like the concept of (continuously) "getting a life".

It implies that the thing you are spending most of your effort (e.g. time) on is not what you actually want/like/prefer/... .

Keep the idea, leave the paper.

I like to keep memories, not things.

Success.

To laugh often and love much,
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden path, or a redeemed social condition,
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.
