    "Fortune Favors the Bold"

    Mostly it means that s/he who risks most, wins most

    that's not really the point of that saying

    it infers that there is no such thing as luck, and the way for a person to be "lucky" is to actively cultivate their own luck. It is saying that nothing will come to you by accident and you have to work for what you want.

    It is similar to the aphorism "God helps those who help themselves"

    I was going to add onto this a saying my brother has "Luck is a measure of skill one has." I thought it didn't fit, mostly because despite my strategic prowess he kicks my ass at risk.

    Carpe Diem is actually about just trying to have sex with as many people as possible, which I guess can be motivational in a way, but certainly not the way people like to use it with their half-assed quasi-insightful remarks.

    You could decide to hide behind the turf, wait for the troubled seas to pass. You could hold transparency as a minor virtue, letting yourself be seen as how you wish to be seen.

    Or you could be a Jigrah, open to all, fearful of nothing, and willing to brave the harshest of storms.

    90% of success in my field requires communication...how you communicate and the way you approach situations in which you will communicate.

    The other 10% is being in the right place at the right time.

    Therefore, I wake up and say, I'm going to get shit done today. I'm going to be professional, succinct and intelligent and I am going to fucking impress people.

    i mean, thats why it sucks to have a mental illness and why so often people with mental illnesses struggle to succeed throughout life and make up a large portion of the homeless(at least in the USA). They can't communicate in a way for other people to understand.

    many autistic people are smarter than the average person, they just can't show it. which, if any of you are interested, this article does a good job explaining
