What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too
Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

"I never lose, either I win or I learn."
As fluffy as this quote sounds, I always find it relevant. From taking on a difficult task at work, to getting past ladder anxiety in a video game. If you've ever executed on something so well that afterwards you felt like it was a waste of time, it might be. You didn't get an opportunity to learn. Which reminds me of another relevant quote, "Losing is fun!"
But don't let that slip into toxic positivity, it's natural to be upset about losing.
Natural is not always good. Being disappointed or frustrated are acceptable reactions; getting upset is not.
Maybe poor choice of words on my part, sad would be better.
Yeah for sure, we're all allowed to have emotions. I just find this quote helps me process mine and maybe it will help others with theirs.
