For The Win

I have a friend. I'll call him Quinn because that's his name. He taught me the funny saying "FOR THE WIN!", which I filed with my other ones (stop being a centipede! & ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND!). But I think we need to go for the win all the time.

In everything you attempt, there is almost always a challenge. Climbing that mountain. Building that treehouse. Walking to the refrigerator. It's...so...far. But you cannot accomplish your endeavors to your full ability unless you do it FOR THE WIN (I will be referring to FOR THE WIN with the abbreviation FTW. If you thought that meant something else, shame on you). People need stop settling. People always talk about living life to the fullest. You cannot do that without FTW. In my humble opinion, you should never go for the low-hanging fruit. Go for the highest fruit and eat before your back on the ground!


Example: You are building a treehouse. You can make it a smallish, traditional box o' wood with a ladder and maybe a desk. Or, you can make it with 5 rooms, electricity,chairs, desks, tables, and drawers. My advice? FTW.


For clarification, winning is not going for the most complicated thing. It's going for the thing that will make everyone happiest. and sometimes, that's the wood box.


On a completely unrelated note, can anyone find the trick in this "proof" that 2=1?


a=b
a^2=ab
a^2-b^2=ab-b^2
(a-b)(a+b)=b(a-b)
a+b=b
because a=b
b+b=b
2b=b
2=1
