Shout out to @Not Most People for hosting a great event tonight.

There were many quotables. This was the quote of the night for me.

Winners have a bounce back spirit.

It doesn't matter how many times you fail.

Only you can stop you.

Quitting is a choice.

And quitting is the only reason you stop going.

Life beat you down?

Get back up.

Your partner left you? Your parents don't believe in you?

Keep going.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you have going on. I don't know who needs to hear this today. There are only a few rules that matter in life and this is one.

Don't quit.

Winners have a bounce back spirit.

Never heard that song before. I guarantee I would have never liked it before either.

Now it's a bop and I've had it stuck in my head for the last hour. :fistbump:

I agree.
I have found out that I kind of have that "mindset/resilience".
However, while I'm "not giving up", I feel like I do get hit quite hard and have trouble regaining stability/ability and taking useful/logical actions.
Or in short, I have that "bouncy bouncy", however it's more like "bit bouncy bouncy".
What the hell am I writing lmfao.
Regardless, I am working on it.

Bro, I've had times in my life that it took me months to bounce back.

Who cares? Keep going.

You are right on. Get back up as fast as you can and don't stop.

Feels like Christmas! :santa"



My best strategy for "getting back up" quickly, is to not fall down in the first place (emotionally).

Things will never work exactly as we imagine them.

When something doesn't go according to plan, it doesn't mean it's a failure. It means that we have just received feedback from reality itself. We need to adjust our plan and our actions. And try again.

No need to identify ourselves with our successes or failures, because a man is defined by his actions, not by his results.

And the dichotomy of success vs failure is a false narrative. Success is a moving target and "failure" will happen many times throughout the process. It's part of the game.

The only real failures are:
  • giving up
  • doing nothing / wasting time
  • doing evil

Dude, winners don’t get down in the first place. That’s for losers only.
:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Try and pick some people up and this dude shows up to ruin the party.

Interesting take. So winners don't even get sad about losing a family member? So only losers lose family members? Or maybe winners don't need family?

Either way, sounds lonely.

Oh wait, I forgot, you're the guy who would let the kidnappers kill his kid rather than pay a ransom.

Yeah, okay. This comment totally checks out now.

My dude is reeeeeally well adjusted y'all.

When it comes to business, yes. If the ship is sinking, you don't have to go down with it.

Other than that, life has plenty of catastrophes in stock. It doesn't matter how successful you are, you will not be able to overcome your mortal nature. We are all going in the same direction.

But in both business and personal life, you should always remain positive and learn to deal with difficulties in a way that doesn't make the situation worse.

:devil: I’m just trolling you for being a mini Brutus.

So winners don't even get sad
The way I look at it, I love negative, dark feelings. That’s where all the energy is coming from. So I don’t look at being sad or depressed as something bad or being down— it’s all about how you can channel that energy.

Most people want to avoid negative feelings and not experience them. I see them as a blessing. Something makes you feel weak and small — that’s great, use that as energy to become strong and powerful. Your wife divorces you, use that as energy to find a better woman and make yourself into a stronger person. Etc.

And if you feel depressed, that’s a sign that your life sucks and it’s time to do something about it to change it. Use that energy.

Yeah, I agree.

Of course changing strategy and the things you do is essential to achieving success.

Giving you gold not for this above post but for your quote that started this thread.

As for the young whipper snappers who don't have to worry about clawing back up because you never lose and are so awesome, just wait till Father Time catches up with you and your empire takes a massive dive due to medical issues or the reality of life.
