Get your grammar right! Live in the active voice rather than in the passive, thinking more about what you do than what happens to you. Live in the indicative mood rather than in the subjunctive, concerned with things as they are rather than as they might be. Live in the present, without regret for the past or worry about the future. Live in the first person, criticizing yourself rather than finding fault with others. Live in the singular number, caring more for the approval of your own conscience than for the applause of the crowd. If you want a verb to conjugate, you can do better than 'love'.
