    My brain gives me advice all the time. I don’t know why, but I have all sorts of quotes, whether it’s from me, or someone else.

    “How can you be there for others, if you can’t be there for yourself?”

    “The most simple solution is often the best one.”

    “Judge someone not by what they are, but who they are.”

    “Don’t chase ghosts.”

    “Effort is the most important currency.”

    And, of course,

    “Stay hydrated.”

        I have a related quote:

        “People are focusing too much on how they’re spending their money, and not enough on how they’re spending their effort.”

        Some of them did come to mind naturally, but it’s pretty much impossible to create any sort of brand new sentence, unless you’re eating spicy deep fried peeps, using a Yamaha DX-7 as a plate, at an Olive Garden in Kansas. That might be original. Maybe.

          Back in my early twenties I invented the martingale strategy, thinking that I had finally figured out a way to beat the house. I was pretty stoked. Then I talked to my manager about it and he let me know that it was a strategy which has already been proven to fail and has been heavily researched mathematically. Like you said, it’s pretty much impossible to come up with an original thought these days
