I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It’s pretty cool to see.

    “The best time to plant a tree is fifty years ago. The second best time is right now” - essentially don’t worry about what you could have done better, or what could have been, make now and the future as good as you can

    and

    “If you don’t fall off occasionally, you’re not trying hard enough” - originally told to me in the context of learning to windsurf (I still can’t windsurf), but applicable in a lot of areas. This doesn’t mean try to fall off, it means failure is a natural part of growth, not something to be shunned

      Good point. How else do you know if you’re doing it right unless you’ve done it wrong before
