Aphorisms

[gordonliddy]

I started writing a book of aphorisms a couple of years ago. Hard drive crashed and.....you know?

Anyways here is version 2. Blue light will not crash.

Here is my first one:

Men who are bad at failure are also usually bad at success. Men who are bad at success are bad at failure.

Where it's at?

 

[PtahTek]

Da book.
Oh hell spelling is running amok time for more.
Peace

 

[gordonliddy]

Da book.

Well my hard drive crashed and is long gone. So I'm recreating it here. If you think of any aphorisms yourself? Go ahead and post them and the rights are yours.

Would need to look up what aphorisms are.
Not enough examples yet to figure it out.

 

[MedicinalUser247]

It's basically a truth about something.

I pictures worth a thousand words, but a thousand words isn't always a picture.

They didn't teach you about aphorisms on your home planet? I believe is it means: a saying that has truth in it. Many times they are funny or at least humorous.
Ok, I am not that sure either, but I looked it up.
A short saying: that usually has truth and is witty or humorous. Or something like that.

I guess they tried.
But I wasn't much into all of this language stuff.
Plus, I have a very bad memory for names and words I can't connect to something more visual or conceptual. Or an event.

So you never took any language or grammar classes in school?

I had to. But I was in a STEM school, so languages were between all kind of other stuff and not very important.
I always managed to get a C or even B
I never read any of those poems or a books we were supposed to.

STEM school?

 

[paltatomate]

Science, technology, electronics and mathematics.
Like I had math and physics and organic chemistry, anorganic chemistry, applied physics and earth sciences. Computer stuff at a time when it was still an elective in most schools (for us it was mandatory). Compared to little social studies and only basic language (German, English, French)
