Conventional Wisdom Thread
This thread can be for a lot of things, but mainly for adding and discussing your own bits of personal philosophy, as well as anyone else's.


If you really want to achieve/get something right, you should simply keep trying until it works and not give up just because you lose all hope and reasonable expectation for success.

What is this thread for. Debunking/supporting conventional wisdom or just repeating it?



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Explain the "really want" part. What if people have enough willpower/wishes to survive. "Just do it" mantras piss me of a bit.

You never met my littlest cat Elsa was afraid a lot being a small and timid pussy. Fortunately he was backed up by our other cat Smudge who was massive and top puss in the area.

Mark Twain piece of wisdom :

"If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first."
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Ok, I'll amend it then. As long as your goals are realistic, you shouldn't become your own obstacle in the path to achieving them.
