Yes, basically that's what it means. Don Rickles was an insult comic, and this was only one of the things he used to yell at people. He's hilarious.
"IF YOU CAN TAKE IT, YOU CAN MAKE IT." It's sweet and simple. I mutter this under my breath every time my anxiety kicks in but I have to do something important.
Yes! It’s a simple and good! Is it similar to “If you have enthusiasm, you can succeed in anything.”? I learned this by heart before.
I apologize, my phrase doesn’t really mean anything or to be taken seriously. Its just a popular quote in a Star Trek show. So I will leave you with this one instead. It’s a quote from a book called The Sword of Truth. It isn’t really my motto but it’s still a good thing to aim for. "Oh, but how I do love it when men I respect marry smart women. Nothing marks a man's character better than his attraction to intelligence."
Something like that, but it's more like "I'm about to take on something extremely terrible. This will definitely be disheartening and this will definitely instill tremendous fear within me because I have probably never done something like this before or I'm not prepared to take on this task, but I know that if I'm alive afterwards, then I have become much, much stronger and this means I am slightly less fearful than before I put myself through it." Sorry, that was long and winded, but it's a phrase that has gotten me through some seriously bad situations by myself with no outside help.
Thank you! Your explanation is easy to understand. If I have a chance, I would like to use this phrase. “IF YOU CAN TAKE IT, YOU CAN MAKE IT!”
Physician, heal thyself - medice, cure te ipsum: it's a Latin proverb (goes back to Greek times I think), and like Latin it can carry various meanings. Imagine a sick doctor, who wants to give you a prescription. He says what you should do, but he doesn't seem trustful, because he's sick too. It's like saying 'do something with yourself first, before telling me what to do'. It can go deeper, but that's the gist of it. I also like saying jokingly 'dura lex sed lex' ('tough law but still a law') when there're harsh, but logical rules I have to follow. I also like 'o tempora! o mores!' also used jokingly to say 'what (crazy/stupid/funny) times! what (crazy/stupid/funny) morals nowadays!' They depend on context.
Thank you! First, when I read this phrase, I think this phrase is not cool. Because it is used political word in Japan, so I looked it up in the dictionary and I found that manifest has meaning like apparent and clear. At last I understand a little the meaning this phrase has. Certainly, this is cool!
I feel understand! For example, if new fapstoronaut who accomplish 1 day of no PMO say “ haha, NoFap is very easy! Doing no PMO has no meaning! Hi, everyone should not try to no PMO. It’s painful only!”, everyone think “You try only 1 day. Why can you understand no PMO has no benefits? If you want to say advice for someone, you should try only 1 week or month!” If fapstoronaut who accomplish over 1 month like you say “I feel better through doing no PMO, you should try doing no PMO too”, everyone agree with him or her. Is my understanding is right? And thank you for telling me another phrase you like!
