Forgiving a manipulative person is useless.

Accept what they've done to you and move on the best you can.

Someone like that requires the assistance of God Himself through facing the heat of their own actions.

Find something to devote yourself to that's more meaningful than just money.

Money is a tool; the possession of money is a sort of power.

Wield money responsibly and find something good and honourable to do with it.

"Not one nation has ever set itself up on the principles of science and reason; there has never been an example of it, unless perhaps for only a moment, out of foolishness."

~ Dostoevsky

An interesting thought.

School is not a waste of time.

We need to stop saying this.

It's there so that we all have at least a basic understanding of the world in each broard subject of academia.

Without that we'd all only be highly specialised in our one chosen thing and be effectivley unable to communicate to anyone outside of our one speciality.

This New Year I almost entirely forgot to even think of what my goals and resolutions are.

Too focused on simply living out the things I've been applying for years.

My goals now stretch over more than one year.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

Get as far away from victimhood mentality as possible, don’t compare yourself to others, just beat yesterday’s best as many times as you can and don’t stop.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

Simply being the type of person that pushes boundaries and doesn’t settle for being average will have cascading effects. Pick one simple thing such as running, commit yourself to it, become the best runner you can possibly be. After a while you’ll find that your life has improved in many more areas than just your running ability.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

Even the small and simple things can be made into great and mighty things when taken seriously and done for a long period of time.

@RiddleSphere Anyone can be the hero of their own story.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

One of the most interesting books I ever read.

The Hero With A Thousand Faces

The original book that explains the idea of the Hero's journey and the monomyth. The idea that all stories follow essentially the same structure, only told in different ways.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

@RiddleSphere Stories shape how we see the world and how we act.

There's no such thing as no story.

Make your life a good one!

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

Take stories seriously.

Stories are what bind you to the nature of the world and how you see yourself in it.

Without a solid story to pin your life onto you will become lost, hopeless and even depressed before too long.

Good stories are important.

If you don't like war, maybe start studying how the hell we ever stay at peace with one another.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

@Tim_Denning Overwhelm is great sometimes, not something I'd recommend all the time. That'll have you in a psychiatric ward before too long.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

Start posting about whatever the hell you want and whatever moves you deeply. Don't worry about the algorithm or what others will think.

Stop thinking about how you're gonna make money and instead think about what truly drives you and has shaped who you are today.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

@Tim_Denning Think about the vision and what drives you from deep within everyday.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

@Mus_bachaa Thank you sir

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

It is not necessarily the person with the biggest muscles or the loudest voice that makes the best leader. It’s the person that people can trust; the person that would do the same as another if the roles were switched.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

War is something that has been around since the dawn of time and will probably be around in one form or another to the dusk of time.

[Duncan Gamble @TheDuncanGamble]

@Tim_Denning Take it as a badge of honour.
