I don't even care how many times this gets reposted because this image is one of the best posts to be on this subreddit ever, ever, and I will upvote it every single time.

[–]cheycity 6 points7 points ago

amen bro

[–]Epoh 2 points3 points ago

With words like that I will upvote you every single time.

[–]Stickmoe 1 point2 points ago

Agreed. Upvote for you!

[–]MetalMaven 10 points11 points ago

I love this show :)

[–]Swan_Writes 6 points7 points ago

Jugglers are sometimes known as professional droppers. Talk to anyone who has learned to juggle anything in anyway, and eventually they will talk about what it is like to drop the same thing, and pick it up only to drop it again, 50 times, 100 times, in a single day.

[–]midnightapartment 4 points5 points ago

what show is this from?

[–]sladoid 15 points16 points ago

Adventure Time, after you watch it you'll be hooked with it's witty and sharp humor. Such great characters!

[–]k2cougar 6 points7 points ago

I watched it once, and didn't get it.

Then I watched it again, and liked it.

I still don't get it though.

[–]dharma_farmer 3 points4 points ago

Light up a bowl of christmas tree before you watch. You will get it.

[–]k2cougar 1 point2 points ago

that was a given

[–]midnightapartment 2 points3 points ago

Thanks!

[–]mayoandketchup 5 points6 points ago

I don't understand why people are complaining that this is a repost. Sure, it's been posted countless times. But, at the same times, it's a message that the majority of us need to remind ourselves.

[–]IAmALobster 3 points4 points ago

People who whine about reposts are usually far most annoying than the actual repost.

[–]secondssuck 1 point2 points ago

Just what I needed man. Kept bailing when I tried to drop into a mini ramp today, had to give up because it was too hot and I ran out of water. I'll keep this with me when I get back to it tomorrow!

[–]Ants236 1 point2 points ago

I think this is our motto or something.

[–]upstreamsalmon 1 point2 points ago

Anyone else love failing? I learn way more from failure than I do success

[–]PsychicKay 2 points3 points ago

Not so much my grades at school, but I'm starting to pride myself on being an amateur "wrongologist" at many other things. One of my most favorite parts of failing would be either the instant I decide to get back up again, or right when I do so! After all in life, success need not be our only teacher! :)

[–]kcpwnsgman 1 point2 points ago

I posted this quote on Facebook and all my family liked it, then a random friend of mine posted in the comments jokingly about getting better at sucking cock. Not a care in the world, not giving a fuck. Right to my family's walls that went.

I want to be more like him.

[–]AceDecade 0 points1 point ago

I actually came here to say that op is sorta good at penis... beat me to it.

[–]aitigie 0 points1 point ago

That's what you get for posting quotes on facebook

[–]noahboah 1 point2 points ago

I don't watch cartoons anymore, but I would flip back to cartoon network when this shit is on. It's sharp, witty, and fun. Plus, there's probably tid-bits of motivational wisdom like this is each episode (gotta love Jake). If you have a kid, let them watch this, hell I'd probably watch it with them, if I was a father.

[–]Siaonara 8 points9 points ago

"Don't get discouraged when you fail your first time."

This is like a bible verse, for reposters.

[–]KangarooLemonade 7 points8 points ago

Except this one has Adventure time and worth.

[–]moxiedrinker82 2 points3 points ago

Try telling that to your girlfriend...

[–]AFuckingShark -3 points-2 points ago

RE RE RE RE REPOSSSSST

[–]emsuperstar -5 points-4 points ago

Posts complaining about reposts are actually the biggest reposts of all!

(This comment is also a repost!)

(Inception?)

(Why not)

(edit)

[–]radams713 0 points1 point ago

This is the background on my phone :)

[–]Socialmessup 0 points1 point ago

Is this a kids show? All my adult friends watch it and Im so confused

[–]DrJWilson 2 points3 points ago

kid's show with adult undertones. meant to be enjoyed by both

[–]GhostGuy -1 points0 points ago

Do your friends smoke pot? It's one of those cartoons that mainly appeals to kids and stoners. It's great, I'd recommend that you watch a few episodes, even if you don't smoke.

[–]langbang 0 points1 point ago

Love that futuristic sound, of balloon music!

[–]funkengruven88 0 points1 point ago

This is the type of thing that should be on here :)

[–]bueller2 0 points1 point ago

I've never seen it before. Is it possible to get a much higher resolution of this?

Anymore Adventure Time /r/getmotivated posts?

[–]bueller2 2 points3 points ago

http://i.imgur.com/3vXO2.jpg

I made it in larger resolution. Going to get it printed on a metal sign for my room.

[–]Rocheasaurus 0 points1 point ago

upvote bc adventure time!!!

[–]Rocheasaurus 1 point2 points ago

also great message

[–]JJd2sc -1 points0 points ago

i think the quote in the show was was said by finn

[–]GhostGuy 0 points1 point ago

Nope, Jake said it.

[–]homestargunner -1 points0 points ago

Why are his arms and legs properly colored but his face the color of Jake's fur?

[–]wasp_ent 7 points8 points ago

because markers

[–]Shpo[!] -2 points-1 points ago

I know Adventure Time is great and I'm not the first to say this, but this picture has been posted at least once a week for the past few months. This is THE most common repost on Reddit and shit needs to stop.

[–]GhostGuy 4 points5 points ago

Oh, come on. Get over it and move on.

There will always be people that haven't seen it. There will always be new members that haven't had a chance to see it yet. There are even people that have seen it every time that it's posted, yet appreciate it anyway because it serves as a reminder. Just because YOU have seen it before doesn't mean someone else can't benefit from it in some way. It's not hurting you to see the link and move on. It doesn't even hurt you if you accidentally click it and have to close it.

I've been a casual lurker in this sub for a while, and this is the first time I've seen this image.

Complaining about reposts takes valuable time away from motivating yourself, and is probably an indicator that you're on here too much. Take the time that you invest into complaining about reposts and invest it into something positive, because there is nothing you will ever be able to do about reposts. Accept that, move on and find something more productive to do.

[–]Shpo[!] -3 points-2 points ago

It's because I've seen it tens of times and I don't go on here much it just makes my fp every time.

[–]GhostGuy 2 points3 points ago

So? Click something else.

[–]CapnCloudchaser 4 points5 points ago

Honestly, I'm a pretty forgetful person and whilst I've seen it loads before, I do appreciate the reminder.

[–]todjunior -2 points-1 points ago
