AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the theme of self-sabotage, with many participants acknowledging that their worst enemy is themselves. They express feelings of laziness and a lack of motivation, which prevent them from pursuing their goals. Some share experiences of dreaming about accomplishments only to wake up to a more mundane reality. The conversation also touches on the idea that personal failures can be viewed as learning opportunities, suggesting a shift in perspective can help mitigate self-criticism. Additionally, there is a light-hearted exchange about language and cultural expression, particularly the nuances of conveying emotions in different languages, with a consensus that French often sounds more appealing.

Who's your worst enemy?
I think that my worst enemy is me
I really want to do so many things, but then I feel that I'm so lazy and then do not do anything
It's really a nasty thing

I would say that i am the person closest to being my enemy but i wouldn't go that far, more of a hinderance.
 
I am my own worst enemy. There is so much I could do with my life, but I choose to lurk in a certain online forum in what little spare time I have instead. :wink:

Who needs enemies? Especially themselves. If you've goofed up, that's a learning opportunity. If somebody disses you, consider the source. And so on.

Monique, I have to protest. You keep changing to language of you signature! I must implore you to change it back to the original French, it simply does not work as well in Dutch or in English. Besides, it makes you look cultured in the eyes of our American friends. They are beautiful verses after all.

I'm trying to open the eyes of our english speaking friends how one expresses emotion in different languages :wink:
I agree though that the Dutch version probably translates the worst :frown:
Why is it that everything sounds better in French?
