My brother told this to me years ago, and I used it on a friend today.

"Always forward, never straight".

I found a nice paragraph in a blog about it:

One day my friend used the phrase “always forward, never straight.” It was at that moment, with that phrasing, that I learned to embrace it. For me, the words were no longer referring to direction. They were referring to life. As we live and grow, we are always moving in some direction. I’d like to live my life in such a way that I’m always moving forward. I might be moving to the right or the left, with big U-turns and in leaps at some points, baby steps at others – but always forward. Always learning, building, challenging myself – falling and then rising again. As long as I’m moving forward, why would I want to go straight?

Truth. Always forward, never straight.
