You know, in Japan, a fish in your pants is 8 days of neither good nor bad luck. The Japanese are very superstitious!

You had to get up in the first place. No one is born up so get upside and start rounding up on all of your purchases. Just last week I made $120 by buying the same amount of hot dogs I usually would. So anyways, that’s why it’s 8, like the amount of hot dogs in a pack.

its not enough that you should rise 7 times, you must also make sure your opponent does not rise which counts as a +1 rise for you so ultimately 8.

Try and go for 90 days, and use your saved up energy to develop a consistent workout habit. That’s the furthest I’ve gone, the rest you gotta figure out yourself. I’m currently on a 10 day streak as well, having broken a 200 day streak mid Nov. It’s always gonna be difficult, but it definitely beats struggling in mediocrity, which imo is a fate worse than death.

Don't quit it entirely that's not healthy either, just like food moderation is key, prostate cancer ain't a joke so don't do any of that NNN shit, a healthy amount is 3-4 times a week.

No fap is not really the only answer to most of your problems. Your addiction to fapping (and/or in extension to porn) may have been caused by a much more deeper and complex reason. You first have to identify what is really the root cause. Some may find no fap to be their answer to their problems, but at the same time they may be doing other things that improve their mental health. They may be regularly exercising, trying new things in life, going to therapy etc. Don't make no fap be your only solution. Consult people that are close to you or go to a therapist, they maybe able to help. Also take note that no fapping is not really that healthy either. Evidence suggests that regularly fapping greatly decreases the risk of prostate cancer.

I mean one a day is aight, it's not like you're going to be a chronic masturbator that does like 4-5 a day straight everyday, now that's a problem lol
The 3-4 a week is the minimum recommended guideline anyway, medically speaking, so one a day isn't too bad in the grand scheme of things just don't dehydrated yourself fellas stay healthy, keep your prostate healthy and your mental health

While 下 does mean down. I think 落 is used because it means fall or drop. You are not letting yourself down slowly, you are being defeated, or you have been pushed to far and collapse. You fall to the ground.
At least that's the way I understand it.

No because to even be up to fall down you had to get up to begin with.

In fact I would entirely avoid this view because it tells the poor even if they get motivated about their situation life will continue to rain bullshit, which with many make them wonder why they would even try to improve their living standard if the wealthy have it awful too

Yeah, but I imagine food and shelter is still something they need. How fucking out of touch with reality are you?

Wow, are you okay?
If you had any idea what I've survived..... I'm not the stuck up wef hedge fund manager you're angry at. Believe me when I say. I know what sorrow is. It's the reason I have learned to keep getting back up, and to look for a silver lining.
Lots of people are happy, not spending life comparing themselves to the wealth of others, and acquiring possessions. It's a thing called minimalism. It's not the same as Bill Gates stealing, and manipulation. He's a criminal for sure. I'd even add that he's probably not a very happy person anyway.
You can find reasons to be happy, and not approve of exploitation, and evil.
Chill.

Let’s say you first get knocked down at age 10. You’re suggesting we count just one of the many times you’ve gotten up before you’ve been knocked down? Why not count them all?
Beaulen1 t1_ixdib5m wrote
Do we count all the times we get up before that first knock down, or the times we’ve gotten up between knock downs? Or just the one time?

Im fine, but its pretty telling that you got defensive asking me if I was, and also felt the need to bring up an anecdote about your past, instead of reflecting on your words and how they come across to people on a sub about motivating others, talk about narcissism. I'm blocking you for your own good, you need to sit and think instead of raging.

To be overwhelmed by emotions? So its not about getting up after falling as in progress in life?
ImpossiblePlane27 t1_ixeutba wrote
No, at least not in the Chinese idiom! And I shall refined it to be more like “overwhelmed by anxious* emotions”. I would use this phrase when something’s making me worry a lot, causing my insides to be uneasy. (I think that’s one of the explanations of the origin of the idiom? Something that makes several of your inner organs go up and others down.)
Lomus33 t1_ixexfnk wrote
So "7 times down, 8 times up" means your organs are moving around so much because of anxiety. Thats crazy
