"Dont be an asshole"
"Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams." Yamamoto Tsunetomo

Yeah. It's "Forget philosophies, everyone is a hypocrite anyway."
It's like roleplaying in Morrowind. You start out, everything goes well:
"Oh, well, I can steal this tower shield of fucking awesome, but would my paladin steal? No, sir."
Three hours later, and it's:
"Wwwweeeelll... I mean, my guy has to eat to protect the innocent, right? It's ok to take the odd silver dagger"
Then, later still:
"Fuck me, it's easy to kill these guards for money"
...Not sure exactly what my point was, but whatever it was, it amounted to that I don't bother trying to live by a code, because I'll probably break it. If it works for you, that's cool, and I respect you for it.

'Fuck it, that'll do'
This is always my philosophy when I am annoyed at work.
What? you want things to be done properly? NO, I can't be arsed.

Something tells me you people dont actually understand what a life philosophy is. This is going to sound pretentious (probably because it is) but if you can sum your philosophy up in a custsey poo catch phrase you may want to go back to the drawing board and think on it a little more.
My personal philosophy really revolves around some of the ideas put forth by the Greek philosopher Epicurus, though watered down quite a bit. The utmost goal in life is to seek pleasure, but excess of pleasure can be unbalancing and lead to displeasure, so it is important to live ones life pleasurably, but with an eye towards moderation.
I am also straight edge, for several reasons. As mentioned above, alcohol and drugs tend to lead to excess, which brings with it ultimate displeasure. But I also have a strong philosophy of self control, and anything that removes my wits is ultimately a bad thing.
These are but a fraction of the philosophies I live by. And I think if you really think about it, you will find you have far more meaningful ideas then "do what you wanna do, be who you wanna be." - Which is really, in essence, a completely meaningless statement.

Don't try to live up to other people's expectations because you'll only wear yourself out. If you are satisfied with the way things are, then enjoy it, because life is all about finding your own happiness. But don't be selfish in that respect either; other people deserve their happiness just as much as you, so don't be a dick and ruin that for them. I know the "Golden Rule" is often only brought up as a joke, but it's called the golden rule for a reason. You'd be surprised just how much adhering to it makes your own life better.
That was a bit of a mouthful, so I'll just condense it a bit.
1. Find your own happiness.
2. Respect yourself.
3. Respect others just as you respect yourself.

'Shit happens' 'Soldier on and suck it up' 'Sometimes bad things have to happen so good things can happen'
Just two, mostly.
1: Leave well enough alone.
2: If you don't get your hopes up you'll never be disappointed.

"Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
>>But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.<<
So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

It's a bit long but if you section it off you lose the context of the philosophy.
