Be smart, choose a woman who will be grateful for it. Be smart, choose a woman who didn’t have a man for long—she has found harmony in herself. -PLATO

"Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference."

"While getting ready to do something — never talk about it. If you fail people will laugh."
- Pittacus

When I was preparing to enlist in the Army, I kept asking my mom to not tell people, but she would talk about it anyway behind my back, or try to prompt me at social gatherings to talk about it myself, and I would cave in and talk about it. I dropped out of basic combat training for my mos and the fact that so many people knew just made it all the worse. To me, at least, I had created false expectations from my family and friends, and it still troubles me to this day. I try to tell myself that at least I was someone who was willing to serve, and that it was a good experience.

The comments here...
The sadness, the joy.
The worry and the relief.
And the love and support between people who have never and will probably never meet, reflect the very best of humanity.

A smart man learns from his mistakes but a wise man learns from others

[noqueq]

Plato's advice on what woman to choose. Goes for both genders obviously. It's basically all about choosing people who do not NEED validation/attention from others and are actually OKAY with themselves..before entering any kind of relationship. This is 1000% gold advice and it could actually save so many marriages. People marry for all kinds of wrong reasons. They think marriage is a kind of validation/approval settlement that will get them someone who will worship their needs and affirm their egos. Then they end up ruining those marriages and even families when they don't get what they expected. Lots of immaturity and selfishness from both men and women. Marriage is and SHOULD be a lifetime commitment, not a 'fling'.
