There is no reason to not be that guy who always encourages people when it makes sense. As long as it is genuine, do it. Someone hints at wanting to start making content, or pursue some skill, or do this or that. If you think it fits them, TELL THEM. You never know how far a little encouragement can go.

It is so worth investing in a premium gym.

Tell me what comes to your mind when you read this quote by journalist/historian Paul Johnson:
โThe study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false.โ
โAnd I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.โ
โKurt Vonnegut
