Why do people feel the need to write sappy sayings? Do they think reading a single "inspirational" saying is going to make you completely turn you life around, improve your work ethic, and become a better person? That's like saying all a drug addict needs to hear is "Drugs are bad for your health," and they'll quit. Sorry, guys, not gonna happen.
They don't even make sense, sometimes. A lot of the time. Ever, really. Example:
- "When I discover who I am, I’ll be free." (Ralph Ellison)- No, you won't. You'll just be discontent. You might know who you are, but the world still won't care.
- "Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope, to be without hope is to be without purpose." (Nancye Sims)- Without purpose- so, like, the rest of the world?
- “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." (Brian Littrell)- Personal favorite stupid inspirational saying. If you shoot for the moon and miss, you'll land among a bunch of empty space and end up putting "Houston, we have a problem" into infamy. The stars are actually millions of miles away. And pretty far apart. Obviously, this was written by a guy who had no knowledge of basic astronomy.

Alright, it's off to a good start.
But two wrongs don't make a right.
So your glass is generally half empty, isn't it?
