Since we are grouped here from a variety of backgrounds , we can share stuff regarding the aforementioned subject matter that we would never come across . Like diamond once said , there is a ton of good stuff on youtube but it aint in English. So please do share away extracts from your national poets, wise words used by people in your culture , u get the idea right and dont hold off wicked humor funny insults . we should all try to laugh daily at least . ok ill start

Being jewish-american, I will quote Hillel and Kurt Cobain.
Hillel: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?"
Cobain: "I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not." Cobain: "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."

You can't just expect others to help you, you have to struggle to get what you want. But at the same time, if you are totally selfish then you are a monster. Don't procrastinate, take action now. This kind of thinking is why jews are rich. And yes, I am moderately rich.

If you can't compete, don't play
^I think this saying works for a lot of things in life. Plus less stress when followed
