My quote gave others inspiration

[Yas786]

And is also utterly demeaning and depressing. It's a roundabout way of saying "You're crap!".

LOL well its a nicer way of saying that compared to...hey your crap so improve yourself.

Nothing depressing about it...i use it myself to become better at things...its all too easy to say oh i wish life was easier etc etc....sure it would be nice but theres nothing stopping u from becoming a better person is there??.

OP, having worked with people who spout this sort of nonsense I'd put money on those guys having made their task easier by making fun of you. Also I reckon you'll have earned two or even three new nicknames that you'll probably not hear about. Unlucky!

 

[Pestilence]

How about: "Don't wish it were easier. If it's too difficult just don't do it or go get a ******* clue."

 

[shifty_uk]

The ePeen is strong with this one but not your quote! It's pretty rubbish

 

[Abraham]

It's a bastardisation of something like "Doing a stich now will, after time, save having to make nine stiches"

no it's not...
to do something in time is to do something before it's too late
e.g I arrived in time to catch the end of the show.
it makes perfect sense as it is.

I'm not a fan of spiel.

 

[Ewaf]

You work with a bunch of *****.

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush....bet you can all sleep soundly now eh!?

 

[KNiVES]

Rubbish, belongs on the dustcart with all the other poncey inspirational corps-speak sound-bites and all that other spiel.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I ****ing hate terms like "think outside the box" and "blue sky thinking". Unfortunately I hear it a lot where I work.

 

[Gilly]

This.

See also "Don't wish it were easier. Wish you were BETTER."

I used to have that in my sig. I really like it.

Indeed, it made me think of you!

Nothing wrong with positive thinking. You can change your mental state and it does make things easier if you focus/discipline yourself. Or perhaps it may not make physically easier, but you are conditioning yourself to deal with the task in a better/more efficient way.

It can help in all walks of life, exercise is one field that springs to mind where it's useful.
