I mean, there are external aids that can help with strength and speed. But side effects may include shrinking your balls...

I thought all quotes were by Miyamoto Musashi

Uhhh, I'm pretty sure getting a fuckton of money is something outside yourself that could make you richer.

I have a very relevant quote but it's from the Book of Mormon, and people around here like to hate it, so...

I was thinking half way through; if you put these quotes in front of the "maximum tipping" guy it becomes a cringe quote dump.

I’ve always found quotes from martial arts masters very inspiring. No bullshit, straight to the point but meaningful.
BiliboyJenkins
Except the 'defeat comes from within' stuff. Sometimes defeat comes from that guy who's bigger than you, with 10 buddies, with guns.
AstroFizX
Defeat is not getting beaten up or dying. Defeat is giving up.
asmallcat
*Gets shot by a sniper 1200 meters away* "well, you just didn't want to win enough."
Ouroborus
I think their reasoning is that is not defeat it's just death.
Godawesome
In that situation you might do a tactical retreat, but as I understood it they refer to a defeated stated of mind, where you give up on life
Valfheim
Not everybody has the strength these masters have, it's a thousand times harder to carry on with life than to let it all go and give up.
Godawesome
Even so, it'd still say it's worth to carry on with life, it has so much to offer even though it might be challenging at times
Valfheim
Why do you think life is worth living? What have you experienced to make you say that?
asmallcat
Actually still mostly inspirational bullshit, like all life advice quotes.
Imalwaysready
Yeah, like every third line in Musashi's book is "I cannot teach you this thing. You must learn it for yourself."
Valfheim
Yeah, the lack of elaboration is not helpful. I get the idea of what to do, but don't know what I should actually do or how to do it.
phobosorbust
Musashi's point: one must learn *how to learn* from the world using one's own senses. Some insights cannot be taught.
Imalwaysready
Sure, it was just a crutch he fell back on repeatedly. Same as many self-help books today.
phobosorbust
I can tell my wife she looks good every day, but she will never believe it until she discovers it for herself. Similar problem.

1 To add a little context to the Miyamoto Musashi quotes. Miyamoto Musashi was a samurai who never lost a battle and in fact died of old age
Xlowfireflame
2 He also wrote a book called “The Book of Five Rings” it’s similar to “The Art of War” but more about personal development
Xlowfireflame
2.5 slight correction “The Book of Five Rings” is about one on one combat with katanas but is interpreted to be about personal development
Xlowfireflame
3 He was also a painter, his most famous work being “Shrike on a dead branch.” He believed in learning things yourself without a master

4 He claims to have learned all his skills including painting, martial arts, sculpting, and metallurgy without any help from a teacher
Xlowfireflame
5 He also wrote a 21 point guide on how to live life as a martial artist known as “The Way of Walking Alone”

6 If you are so interested in him you made it down here I would recommend watching a documentary on him. Some of his stories are really cool
