  Heard someone say this yesterday, "It wasn't your fault; you did the best you could."
  Sounds like one person consoling other, but it stops the other person from going for another try and aiming for better.

  Ok, just thought of discouraging words I heard someone say -
  
  "That's how life is 👎 "

  Once a girl told me, "no matter how hard you work, you can't achieve anything more than what's written in your FATE". 👎

  Well, the thing is words are just words. When we are down, those words can surely encourage. But listen to those words when you're happy and excited - and you're brought down to the hard reality. 😁

  (I have post this in #-Link-Snipped-#? too. It depends on our attitude after hearing this.) ☕

  Exactly.. This should ideally teach us to be grounded, and not get too depressed when we're down or too excited when everything is going well..

  Come on, when I'm enjoying - I don't want to be told about the 'reality' and take away the happiness from the moments I'm supposed to be enjoying.
