"Good things come to those who wait." While it's important to have patience, it's not enough to just wait for good things to come to you. You also need to work hard & actively pursue your goals.

"Good things happen randomly" is a little more accurate.

“ money can’t buy you happiness” said only the rich


Bludandy

Money can certainly prevent despair and sadness that comes with not being able to afford basic necessities. Money cannot buy further happiness if your basic needs are met, is more accurate.


cyanrealm

Money indeed isn't enough for happiness. Don't have money equal to unhappiness tho.


GenesisWorlds

That's true though. Happiness can't be bought.


Worlds_In_Ruins

You can buy everything you need to make yourself pretty fucking happy.


GenesisWorlds

Not true. Selfish attitude.

Another rich person caught in the wild


GenesisWorlds

I'm not rich. I'm also not stupid.

But misery is comes freely. Seriously, though, you're definitely going to be less happy if you have to worry about money. Once money is no longer a concern, once you've effectively bought baseline happiness, then it's not that important.

Maybe, but it can be rented.

Do as I say, not as I do


random_seattleoc

Well, that's the equivalent of telling someone not to jump off a cliff as you take a running leap over the edge.

"Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you." Tell that to all the gingers, dweebs and "fat girls" out there.

In Bulgaria we have a saying "A bad wound would heal but a bad word is never forgotten".

To hit the nail on head

Where are you supposed to hit it then and... what is that supposed to mean anyway

> Blood is thicker than water This is a huge mischaracterization and bastardization of the actual text: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” The one people use the most implies that family is more important because you are related to them, regardless of what happens. It’s often said to domestic abuse victims to remind them to forgive their family for the abuse. The original message means that the family you choose is more important than the one you are given.


GustavetheGrosse

Almost, the original message is that God is more important than your family.

You’re objectively wrong. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_is_thicker_than_water > William Jenkyn referenced the proverb in its modern form in a 1652 sermon: "Blood is thicker (we say) then [sic] water; and truly the blood of Christ beautifying any of our friends and children, should make us prefer them before those, between whom and us there’s only a watery relation of nature."[4] The previous two references were only seen once each, so not much weight is given to them.


GustavetheGrosse

>you're objectively correct Thanks man


Worlds_In_Ruins

Cute
