On a related note, I'll say this again:

Watch the company you keep.

If you're hanging out with people who do dumb shit, it's only a matter of time before they do some dumb illegal shit.

I had to stop hanging with a lifelong friend after I cleaned out my glove compartment and…

People who have never been given tough love can't distinguish between constructive criticism and hate.

The only cure for anxiety is recognizing you can only control fixed variables, and developing the confidence to deal with the unknown and the unexpected.

Many people think avoiding conflict reduces harm, but somewhat counterintuitively, in the long run avoiding conflict actually increases harm because all the problems that could've been dealt with swiftly are given space to grow into even bigger problems

Reality punishes cowards.

You will never grow up until you kill your addiction to self pity, and there's no greater sign that you're still a child than believing you're owed something

Your sacrifices may not get acknowledged. Your efforts may not result in subjective glory. You need to accept this truth…

at 16 years old i walked into my first hardcore punk show in newark,nj and got moshed over by a grown man holding a gun and immediately said to myself

'Yeah, guess ill do this forever.'

This is the most important video on the internet right now.

Best 90 seconds you will spend all day is watching this MSNBC clip.

Seriously.

I've noticed a lot of default inclusive behavior in SMB and just so I'm clear: its extremely harmful to a culture of excellence.

- Training: 'what if some guys don't learn'
- Accountability 'I find all workers are good and its the manager who needs to find a new approach'

I never trust a person who isn’t honest with themselves, because if you habitually lie to yourself then it’s nothing for you to lie to me, and I know if you’re really good at lying to yourself you’ll have passionate conviction in false things, and I want no part in that circus.

Knowing you were a victim is liberating. No longer blaming yourself for a bad circumstance empowers you to move forward.

Victimhood is limiting. Blaming others for all your suffering leaves you powerless to change your circumstances.

Pain is inevitable. Victimhood is a choice.

Confidence doesn't always come from believing in yourself today. It often stems from recalling the obstacles you overcame yesterday.

A history of resilience can silence self-doubt. Challenges conquered are clues to hidden strengths.

Past progress is proof of future potential.

Thank you for your kind words and congratulations on becoming a father - it's impossible to give age appropriate advice to what is essentially a baby, so here are some generalities:

-If someone bullies you, shows your willingness to fight - bullies are extremely perceptive of…

You cannot rely on people who trust their emotions.

Because instead of doing the right thing in spite of how they feel, they only do the right thing if it aligns with how they feel.

They let their emotions control them.

This makes them unreliable, and ultimately untrustworthy.

At every disagreement, you get to choose:

Frustrated
“Why can’t you see it my way?”

Fascinated
“Why does this person see it differently?”

All you stand to lose is the argument.
An easy sacrifice to win trust.

I will never forgive the Breakfast Club for what they did to her

All lies. If your news looks like this, already youre preconditioned to despise Shane, Louie, any great comic. You’ve outsourced your interests to ghouls who make 12k a yr to publish articles like “Paddycake: It’s racist” and “Yes, it’s OK Joe Biden named his goldfish Dr. Hitler”

Holding yourself to a low standard whilst holding others to a high standard is pathetically arrogant.

Holding yourself to a high standard whilst holding others to a low standard is called being cynical.

Holding yourself and others to a high standard is called quality control.

Those who’ve been to hell a few times have been cold-worked by life and understand the value of a peaceful existence.
