Be Mindful of what others pass on to you as Wisdom

Every phrase, proverb, or saying has a true meaning and a wrong interpretation.

Patience Is A VirtueShould be no excuse for inaction
You Must Know Your LimitsShouldn’t result in not trying tougher things
Don’t Overestimate YourselfShouldn’t result in you underestimating yourself
Learn From Others’ MistakesShouldn’t stop you from doing things others failed at
Old Is GoldShouldn’t stop you from trying the new

The difference is in the interpretation under a certain context and for a certain subject. Apply your own mind when someone throws any phrases at you and decide if it applies to you in your ‘context’.

Funny enough, each phrase is contradicted by another equally well-known phrase.

Patience Is A VirtueTime And Tide Wait For None
You Must Know Your LimitsYou Know Your Limits When You Break The Barrier
Don’t Overestimate YourselfWhen You Are Determined, Sky Is Not High Enough
Learn From Others’ MistakesNothing Teaches You More Than Making Your Own Mistakes
Old Is GoldEmbrace The Change

One Life. Live Boundless.
