honestly bro,
there.
are.
too.
many.
but I’ll say one,
okay,
maybe three.
and these lessons,
are so true,
and speak to me a lot,
and so,
I’ve kept with me ever since.
(p.s. I hope you can read all? idk they are all so powerful and give really good advice)
1) Legend (Marie Lu)
important life lessons I learnt:
-“If you want to rebel, rebel from inside the system. That’s much more powerful than rebelling outside the system.”
-“Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything’s possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment, you take it all one day at a time.”
-“You try to walk in the light.”
-“Logic will save you when nothing else will.”
-“Love is illogical, love had consequences--I did this to myself, and I should be able to take it.”
2) Warcross (Marie Lu)
important life lessons I learnt:
-“Every locked door has a key. Every problem has a solution.”
-“Everyone has a price.”
-“You have to learn to look at the whole of something, not just the parts.”
-“Think badass thoughts, I tell myself.”
-“Zooming in on it only makes it blurrier.”
3)Assassination Classroom
-“If you’ve got time to point fingers, then how about using your head to figure out what you want to do about it?”
-“Total victory is scoring an easy win by doing what you always do.”
-“People with talent often have the wrong impression that things will go as they think.”
-“The difference between the novice and the master is that the master has failed more times than the novice has tried.”
-“Exams are an opportunity to teach correctly the meaning of winning and losing, of strong and weak. Students soak up heaping helpings of successes and setbacks. Take in now what it means to win, what it means to lose!”
-“Broadly speaking, there are two reasons a person feels the desire to teach something: Either he wants to pass on his successes or he wants to pass on his failures.”
-“Backup plans are the cornerstone of confidence.”
-“When backed into a corner, the first order of business is assessing your options.”
-“The past you’ve lost will never come back. I myself have made so many mistakes… But we can learn from the past so we don’t repeat it.”
-Honestly, there isn’t much meaning to the splendid names given to you by your parents. What does have meaning, is what the person behind that name does during their actual lifetime. The name doesn’t make the person. The name simply remains gently within the footprint left on the path a person walks.”
-“Please remember that there are times to take someone’s hand and lead them along… But also times when you must be stern and let them fend for themselves.”
-“It’s dangerous for them to grow up without experiencing true competition. Because they’ll keep whining, even without taking the matter seriously. For those with a high level of aptitude… The sooner they know the frustration of defeat, the greater their growth will be.”
-“You may have grown too strong. Drunk on your own power, you forgot to put yourself in the shoes of someone weaker than you.”
-“To a young person for whom everything comes easily, the pain of defeat can be a much needed wake up call.”
-“The world will always be filled with injustice. If you have time to give up or hold a grudge against that injustice, then use that time to enjoy battling those injustices instead.”
-”Those who fail to apply themselves who at the moment of truth decide to sit back and let the chips fall where they may, are destined for disappointment.”
-“Did you know, I once took down a black belt on my third day of Karate lessons? The first day, I was soundly beaten you understand, by some 30-something… There was so much pain I vomited. I’d never known such an agonizing defeat. What do you suppose I did on day 2? I observed. Consumed by flames of my humiliation. Certain were I to lose again, I would be mortified to a point of insanity, that I would, in effect, die of madness. On day 3 I crushed my sensei without him landing a single blow. THAT, is the lesson of defeat.”
-“Those at the top must mind their balance.”
shuck it, this is waaay to long.
so byeeee
