@coachjeffcope @MrPassive_ I am saying the analogy is overly simplistic and that the choice to try and pump it up as some great wisdom IS a stretch.

@Patrick_02169 @MrPassive_ You think it's about simplicity? It is about choices and it IS as simple as that.
English

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

Be carful.
“Do not judge, or you will be judged. For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye?”

@rjyahin05 We don’t imagine stuff we go to the scriptures. Cute story tho

Dear all unbelievers , please know this is absolutely not Christianity. Playing with idol dolls isn’t what we do.

One of the beautiful traditions of Holy Week is where Jesus and Mary rush to meet one another after His Resurrection. ✝️

@RealJorgeSBeach @KOJournals More like an old Jack Johnson ran into someone with superior reach and couldn’t deal with it

@KOJournals This fight in Oriental RaceTrack in Habana, Cuba was 100% fixed. My grandfather told me as a kid and so did my dad. Jack admitted later on. Jack would have never lost to Willard who was a mere dishwasher.

@himpodimpo @travelingenes @latlonging “Sure I’ve had some regrets” but I won’t trade it for anything…like every shitty Hollywood ending ever…
English

@Patrick_02169 @travelingenes @latlonging Lol whatever you tell yourself, have a good day! I’ve had very fulfilling and fun life so far. Sure i’ve had some regrets here and there, but i wouldn’t replace any of my memories.

@captive_dreamer outcome of effective propaganda😵💫
Raise you chin
Throw your shoulders back
And walk humbly, joyfully in

@himpodimpo @travelingenes @latlonging ⬆️🧠designed by tv & soulless Hollywood?!
Sounds like the empty type stuff the op is beginning to see thru.
You took the bait and wound up with “useless” memories.
Friends? Adventure? Yes!
..but please dump the frat house mentality, you were sold an empty philosophy on life
English

@travelingenes @latlonging I’m 100% serious when I say this, your generation is lacking some friends, partying, and sex. Over time, it builds memories that you can look back at and cherish, despite most of them being cringe and useless.

I just read all 800+ comments in this thread regarding manners in Japan.
Many were common expectations, such as not littering, or talking on the phone while on a train.
However, many were new to me. Here's a summary:
DON'T
- Waste food: finishing shows respect
- Eat or drink while walking
- Take photos in buses, trains, shops, or shrines
- Buy items in bulk
- Pass food from chopsticks to chopsticks (this closely resembles a funeral ritual)
DO
- Learn a few basic Japanese phrases
- Slurp your noodles (it's polite!)
- Walk single file in tighter spaces
- Use a translation app
- Carry a small trash bag, public trash cans are rare
- Use both hands when giving or receiving items
Thank you all for sharing your comments, they were fascinating!

My Japanese friends. Someday I wish to visit your beautiful country. Before I do, I want to know something. What are behaviors from tourists that are considered rude in Japan?

@womblivesmatter @timothyjphelan a bit foggy on the history of mister d. but the original Dunks is about an mile from my house, side set up shop on the main road to the General Dynamics ship yard in Quincy…must have been a money marker I can still remember cars packed full of workers heading out at quitting ⏱️

English

@Patrick_02169 @timothyjphelan Also ignorant of their history. Started by a guy from Boston who didn't want to compete with Dunkin Donuts. I like Mr D better than Dunkin. But Krispy Kreme has appeared in my local AEON, so that's tricky.
