qotd: not exactly a proverb but 3 that I remember well: " the same boiling water that makes an egg turn hard, will make a potato soft. so you need to dictate your environment and not let your environment dictate you." "hate has 4 letters, but so does love. enemies have 7, so does friends. lying has 5, but so does truth. failure has 7, but so does success. cry has 3, so does joy. You also have a choice, so choose the better side of it." "it's hard being poor. It's hard to be successful. Choose your hard."
Powerful reminders! I love the first one about not letting your environment dictate you... it’s a great lesson in self-accountability. The second and third are amazing too. Strength has 8 letters though so puts it 1 step ahead of enemies 💪🏽 perhaps it is weakness you meant?
QOTD: “If you know yourself and know your enemy, then you need not fear the outcome of a hundred battles.” Sun Tzu, The Art of War It’s a proverb that applies to more aspects of modern life than you realize!
QOTD: A chinese proverb, "It's easy to paint the skin of a tiger, but not it's bones", which basically means it's easy to know/judge a person's face, but not their heart.
LOL thank you bro good you’re keeping track 😂 My immunity’s definitely improving with all the full-contact TKD sparring I’ve been doing 2-3 times a week atop other things... more exposure and fewer sick days 💪🏽
Qotd: goldengo is golden-gone, that means that slowbro could be a bro.. Pure wisdom For real, I remember a very old proverb that goes like: if you plan to build a tower, sit and calculate what you'll need or you'll be in debt and a slave of your creditor Not the exact words but the meaning was this.
qotd: the more you practice the better you get. the better you get the more you enjoy playing. the more you enjoy playing the more you practice. a good teacher of mine told me that once :)
Wise words, though I hope at least the woman can be reasoned with to not be so quarrelsome otherwise shouldn't be sharing the roof in the first place LOL 😅
"Até mesmo o vaso de ouro mais bonito, se quebra ao ser derrubado." portuguese quote. you can apply this on so many things in life, it makes you think 2 times before doing anything, for something AND someone.
Thank you for the reminder 🫡 Also yeah the old Gen 1 mons that have lived and thrived all the way to today's generation and still holding their own in battle makes me happy to see :)
mr. emvee do you think they will do balance changes on the megas that will comeback? and if so, you think it will be needed? i think the mega pokemon are fine the way they are(obviously there is some exceptions)
Totally agree that most Megas are fine as they are! It’s likely that older Megas won’t have the exact same movesets as they might lose some moves and gain new ones. Stat-wise I’d guess they’ll stay the same, but I think any returning Megas will probably be balanced with newer Megas in mind. With power creep increasing every generation, older Pokémon will need to keep up
"There are no accidents" -Master Oogway My other favorite proverb is "GG it's Emvee!" Great live and super fun team! That Slowbro set is cracked lol, can't wait for megas to come back in Z-A
LOL kung fu panda 🐼🔥 powerful quote second to the grand opening of the dragon scroll which is equivalent to that of a GG it's Emvee. Glad you enjoyed bro!
Wise and relatable Chinese proverb :) Adversity really does reveal who people truly are, both in how they handle struggles and how they support others. True character shines when the going gets tough.
No problem at all! Aim and I are no longer friends after I experienced firsthand how he’s willing to use false and damaging narratives to protect his image. It’s unfortunate, but actions like that ultimately reveal more about his character. I choose to surround myself with people who value integrity and genuine connections, as it’s important to keep friends who uplift others rather than those who focus on maintaining appearances.
@@LordEmvee I always had a feeling something was off about him, but seeing these events unfold confirmed it. It’s unfortunate, but from what I hear, it sounds like you’re in a much better place now :3
@@RedCometStriker Yes!! :) Quality of life overall is much better. I've grown as a fighter on my journey to black belt and have surrounded myself with more positive people by filtering out negativity from my circle. As the saying goes, you are the average of the people you spend the most time with, so I'm glad to now be surrounded by quality individuals.
Yoyo! I no longer collaborate with Aim after witnessing him use false and damaging narratives to protect his image. Actions like that speak volumes about a person’s character.
