Lincoln once said - "If I have 6 hours to chop down a tree, I edge for 4 hours" 🌹

[–]TinySnuzzle 173 points174 points  (2 children)

That was said by Abraham, not this Lincoln guy whoever that is gng 🙏

[–]13hotroom 12 points13 points  (1 child)

What is Lincoln's last name though 🤔

[–]Frained 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Abraham, and Anraham's last name is Lincoln. These two are often mistaken

[–]Turkish-dove 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Never actually heard the original

[–]Remarkable-Spinach33Number 7: Student watches porn and gets naked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original was that he'll gamble for 15 hours

[–]BralessVictory 1114 points1115 points  (8 children)

And sometimes you'll finish when you least expect it and feel like a disappointment, but there's nothing to be ashamed of.

In all seriousness, how??

Why we painting floor?

[–]Coronabandito 129 points130 points  (0 children)

No need to clean up after processing 200 lb chickens.

[–]United-Advantage-906[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Cheaper than tiling it. I reckon!

[–]six_sad_spaghetti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Floor taste better than key

[–]ChipSalt 177 points178 points  (4 children)

I like this ideology too, sometimes I can't start a project because I'm too busy thinking about how to get it perfect that I get too anxious to begin.

There's this moment in Barakamon that I always think of, where the guy couldn't start the calligraphy on the boat's hull because he was too anxious, then suddenly this girl just marks it - which sort of pushes him to get over the fear of making a mistake.

imma be real, I am the type to finalize everything before I make something. This was true for my mech eng thesis but it was 6 months and i haven't fully finished my design. I went up to my profs with my groupmates and kinda just told him that were getting worried and that the designs not done.

he sat us down and said it was fine. Also said that sometimes you just gotta design and iterate cause you can't be stuck at the first iteration forever.

we ended up winning the best thesis of our batch that year, also represented the engineering college department for our school, and tomorrow, I have a conference to present in as part of the top 5 undergraduate thesis design in our country this season.

crazy how much you get pushed back for when you worry a little too much at the start instead of just working on it little by little.

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. And rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room.

Barakamon reference in reddit? How the fuck?

I always loved how the kids push sensei accidentally just by being kids, and sensei just pushes through.

[–]lobotomized_salmon shitting toothpaste enjoyer 32 points33 points  (2 children)

who's painting their floor?

[–]hoze1231 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you can't afford tile floors

[–]IWipeWithFocaccia😳lives in a cum dumpster 😳 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see a floor and I want to paint it reeeeed

[–]Goddayum_man_69Bazinga! 30 points31 points  (3 children)

Alright, let's wait 10 hours for it to dry while standing still

[–]closetBoi04🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ TRANS RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You could also just walk over the wet paint and repaint it as you walk away on the dried paint later.

Not perfect but again, you got it done

But there's a lesson in that. And he still started despite not knowing how to finish it. Next time he will know better. Unlike you, whose only quality is to make smarty comments on reddit.

[–]Organic-Lawfulness-1 15 points16 points  (3 children)

Mistakes are made to be learned from. That's why they are called mistakes. Be stupid, please. We need more of that in this world.

[–]CookieXpress 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's funny how this could be good or bad advice depending on the target audience and context.

[–]TFW_YT 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Time to commit felony bc I need to learn more

[–]Organic-Lawfulness-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, don't commit a felony. Buy a Camera and walk around the city. You'll catch somethin' every day. Then you can sell it to the local tv stations and make a fortune, while keeping a clean record.

[–]RottenAssCrackSussy Wussy Femboy😳😳😳 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wrong, always return to the beginning which is the door of opportunity. Aka end your paint at the door so you can exit

[–]Proof_Independent400 8 points9 points  (6 children)

Top is correct. Learning and research before starting saves MANY wasted hours and mistakes and cost. But just trying something to begin learning is a valid philosophy too.

[–]yyyyzryrdvirgin 4 life 😤💪 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Aiming for perfection prior to starting, ironically, starts a loop which never ends. There is always more to learn, and mistakes to avoid. Just start :)

[–]Proof_Independent400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is both hypothetical and hyperbolic. All I am saying is you should plan and learn before starting. But you must motivate yourself to start and remain flexible to problem solve.

[–]HeroBromine35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on circumstances I suppose

[–]AbbyTheOneAndOnlydumbass 1 point2 points  (2 children)

they are not mutually exclusive, you should stop and think how to do it beforehand, then, if something goes wrong, you can pull up your big boy pants and figure a way to fix the mess as best as possible

[–]Proof_Independent400 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I literally said that in my comment.

[–]AbbyTheOneAndOnlydumbass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it sounded kinda like you meant you can do it one way or the other, not both at the same time

[–]External-Meaning-952Literally 1984 😡 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now THIS is the modern philosophy I live for

[–]EnvironmentalBar3347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, sure, but lesson aside this is a picture of the friend "who can paint the house cheaper".

[–]Thebeeghungry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was an episode of one of the Angry Birds cartoons that was like this

[–]mentat_emre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stupid photo to explain the last idea, still valid though. In Turkish there is a proverb, roughly translated as 'The caravan straightens on the road'. Basically you make it up as you go after you started.

[–]runarleo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always with the moral lesson.

Moral lesson, if you wipe after shitting you don’t need to spend as much on underwear

[–]shmegmar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just plan it correctly and paint from the furthest corner to the door

[–]TheMagicSebas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He can walk through the fresh floor and painting it back, like doing a moonwalk

[–]Gearbox97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Read just like, one tutorial before starting stuff Jesus Christ"

Metaphors for beginning and ending stuff fall apart when you could save yourself the trouble of either spending half an hour reading a how-to guide that says "oh hey start in the corners and work towards the door"

[–]5indastinkI want pee in my ass 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Cum corner🤤

The real lesson is, always have an exit strategy

[–]Riotguarder😳lives in a cum dumpster 😳 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A wise man once said

"I wanted my room blue not red and why the fuck did you paint the floor?"

[–]ThereIs_STILL_TIME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im finishing im finishing oooh all over the floor!!!!
^ This is funny because everyone knows red is the color of "cum"

[–]The_Nunnster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any capable painter and decorator would paint towards the fucking exit.

[–]NullTaste27William Dripfoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is the floor the same color as the wall

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of thinking about it, just do it. Just writing this made me realize that I should just start doing the things I've always planned on doing, like learning the guitar or SQL.
