    I thought this would be a cool thread to start, because sometimes, there are things we all need to hear.

    So;-

    What are some words of wisdom that have helped you through tough times?

    What are your words of wisdom to the EC community or just people in general?

    :slight_smile:

    This quote is my favourite;-
    'Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.' — Albert Einstein

    My words of wisdom would be always hold on hope. :slight_smile: Because it's better to hang on until the end of the ride and find that nothing changes than to jump off early, and never know what was waiting around the next corner.

    Have an awesome day :slight_smile: (!) :smilewave:eusa_danc:smilewave (!)

    If in any instance you have absolutely no doubts about your rationality and objectivity in a personal issue, you should wait a day or two to reflect before making a decision. Emotions have a way of masquerading as sound logic if you don't give yourself time to mull over it or have someone challenge your line of thought.

    And from personal experience: always do research before doing something new and/or potentially dangerous.

    Forever is composed of nows
    -Emily Dickinson

    You may think about the big scary huge future in front of you and think oh fuck
    But think about how small right now is and how manageable it is to just sit and wait for an instant to pass and that's what the "future" is made of

    I have a lot of self-esteem issues, so I always think about this... especially when I, or one of my friends, seem to be hoping someone else will bring them happiness~
