I both agree and disagree

YOU are the most important person in your life! If you have and enjoy your own company, family/friends become optional

People crave context. The quote can stand on its own, but people want to know more, and then their curiosity will lead them to find out it's fake. And it's got to be a little less motivational to be reminded that people are so willing to take shortcuts, tell little falsehoods, borrow cultural stereotypes to prop up their own invented proverbs etc. It's impossible to share the story without the context coming along for the ride.

Maybe because this isn't motivational, it's enabling. "Do whatever you want" isn't beneficial, or conducive to being better. Pointing out that something is nonsense and doesn't fit a sub is pretty common, regardless of which one something is posted in.

I don’t have time and the time I have is used for escapism to make comments here

I find it odd that so many people are so eager to shoot down motivational quotes on a sub about getting motivated. It’s like hanging out in the labor and delivery ward of the hospital and reminding all the new moms that everyone dies someday. Like, yeah… that’s true… but like, is that necessary in any way? Naw. Not really. Not at all.

You can give and take. It’s a two way street.

It's a weird hierarchy to where apparently family comes after work, as if they all abandon you

I usually rest after no longer being hard.

I've seen too many "there are two wolves inside you" meme lol

Great advice... when you can eat regularly. Many people these days have to choose between food, rent, and utilities. Because many large employers chose profits over people.

This is a huge generalized comment on a large complex topic. I do realize that. But most advice like the original post is meant for the shrinking middle class and up.

Truth matters, spreading bullshit should be called out.

And why can't any of those other things be any value other than 0? Why does the number specifically have to be 10000? This is really weird and arbitrary.

So? Whats the point of health

You can find someone to share with, but once you lose your health you don't get it back.

I didn’t imply anywhere that working and being a productive member of society isn’t important. Of course that’s still important, but you’re not changing the world working at your job. If you didn’t exist, someone else would be doing that job and would likely do about the same work as you did. People have to work to keep the economy functioning and that won’t change any time soon. But what everyone has in their power to control is how they treat other people, and the difference in someone’s lifetime effect on the world being a hateful, selfish, cruel person and a loving, generous, empathetic person is massive. It’s a lot more massive than if someone else did the job you’re doing.

To put it in economic terms: say you tried extra hard at work and increased your productivity by 10% over your lifetime by working 50 hours instead of 40 hours per week. Great, that’s 10% more work than you would’ve done over 50 years. It took 26,000 hours to do all of that extra work, 26,000 hours of productive work put into the economy.

Now say that instead of working an extra 10 hours, you volunteered in an after-school program for at-risk kids, taught them life skills, helped them with homework, and provided them with a responsible adult role model to emulate. Say you also did this for 10 hours a week for 50 years. Say that you spent 100 hours total per kid. That’s 260 kids who have a much better chance of succeeding academically, getting a good job, avoiding prison, raising a family, teaching their kids the same life skills and being that same role model, etc. 260 adults who are much more likely to be contributing to the economy instead of being a burden on government resources. Even if you only saved one of those kids from going to prison, that’s a huge amount of money that would be saved. It takes the full annual tax revenue of half a dozen working citizens just to incarcerate one person for a year.

Now which do you think has made the bigger impact, that 10% increase in your work productivity, or spending 100 hours each with 260 kids (or 200 hours each with 130 kids, or 1000 hours each with 26 kids) who go on to be much more likely to have productive careers of their own, and to raise children who also have productive careers, and so on? It’s simple interest vs. compounding interest, linear growth vs geometric growth.

I don’t just mean helping someone change a tire, I’m talking about being a positive force in other people’s lives, whether that’s taking advantage of chance encounters to help someone who needs it, making a concerted effort to help through a volunteer program, or just being kind to someone who needs some kindness in their life. You never know what effect your actions will have.

And this needed 3 panels for exactly what reason?

Inside you there are two bears. If you feed the demon bear it will attack you and your friends in your New Mutants school

it has to do if w the situation. sometimes i rlly do procrastinate simply bc of laziness. i dont wanna get up and walk to get my laptop and do my hw, using my phone in bed for a few more hrs is much easier. but sometimes, procrastination is fueled by emotions. like when i dont wanna do my hw bc im afraid its just not gonna be good enough and so its not worth even trying

"There are two wolves inside you."

"... You should probably stop eating wolves."

Yeah sorry Imma disagree. While being nice is important, for a big part of the world they would rather have a working economy, gas bills paid and food on the table, which gets impacted by the economy of your country and what the productivity of your countries work is.

These stories are nice and some do have live changing moments, but this is just ignoring the people that work for 50 odd years making sure those groceries even exist in the first place.

I want you to let the bad wolf out daddy
