      what would you prefer?

      My favorite is curl up in a ball and cry. Seems to work pretty well.

      "What are you gonna do, stab me?"

                @Vondon302 I don’t know if ‘Find the next gear for your final push’ is worse. Whoever wrote that and thought it was actually going to be motivation needs to understand what actually motivates people.

                    When I was a kid, my mom would sing:

                    Pick yourself up,
                    Dust yourself off,
                    And start all over again.

                    Similar sentiment, if not the same.

                    Keep Pushing*

                    *unless you really need a break, then take a break

                          @Gabriella im not getting at anything ..just agreeing with keep pushing
                          if you are ahead...and want to stay there...keep pushing..
                          if you arent ahead and want to be there..keep pushing..
                          the only way is forward!
                          i just prefer fight the bastards coz ive got a long way forward to go and a lot of bastards in the way

                          if you arent pushing you've accepted where you are as the best you are going to be
                          (the as the best bit was an edit coz i forgot to type out the whole sentence)

                          i was going to say something smart here..but then i remembered i'm an idiot

                            the person furthest ahead wins

                            In a race, yes.

                            But in life, you don't need to be the furthest ahead to "win". Sometimes the ones out front are actually losing...

                            But yeah, never give up.

                              @davesaddiction that is true....but i feel like the keep pushing thing
                              is generally meant as a keep improving
                              but yeah fair point...in life you dont need to be furthest ahead to win.....you just need to be happy

                                @Gabriella it was something that really got on my nerves the last few years with my dad. I was also exhausted and tire from school and it was always: one last push, you got this, one last push and you are free from this.

                                AND THEN I FELL RIGHT INTO A DIFFERENT FUCKING TRAP.

                                oh well. day by day.

                                      Counterpoint: sometimes something isn't gonna work out and no amount of "keep pushing" will change it so learn to cut your losses and learn to "fail fast" then "pivot" as the techbros say (but maybe easy on the pivoting with your ankle).
                                      Also more F1 sayings need to slip onto school motivational posters.

                                              @Gabriella I think finding the next gear is fine if you want to be the pirate king.

                                                  @farscythe What you put before didn’t make sense in my head (sorry). You have a point, but can’t people find some other words to use. I think every single race weekend (no matter the result) one of the drivers has said ‘keep pushing’ on their Twitter - find some other way of saying it!

                                                    @davesaddiction I always want to be in front, doing something better than the others. I’m very competitive and if people beat me in things I’m not best pleased. However, I am starting to realise that you can’t be the best at everything and sometimes you need to understand where your best is and forget everybody else.
