It kinda does detract from the sentiment though. The creator saw the need to (deceptively) name drop in order to give it some credibility, which is decidedly not in the spirit of the message. If it’s a good idea it can stand on its own.

The Buddha would generally not say any of these “I’m 14 and this is deep” kind of platitudes.

I would say you want to keep heading in the same general direction. You should be as agile as you can on how you get there. Further the goal, the least likely it is going to work out how you originally imagined.

You don't want to be completely changing directions all the time. Then you're not going anywhere. Slight adjustments and adapting to situations but keep pushing towards the general direction.

When an event or action is in motion or has been determined for example the comments here, outside of yours. Nothing can change those and it would likely be very difficult to sway the opinions because they are predetermined. So if we accept it, what ever however you judge good or not so great, than maybe it’s easier to move forward with whatever challenges you might have
