      It was merely a typo:



    Welcome back, 1985.

    Regardless of the funny picture you posted, I read it as completely encouraging.

    I take the opposite tack, as I tend to view my performance in less-glowing terms..... This post was edited by SaltyPebble at December 14, 2019 6:09 AM MST

    I, too, most of the time, do not see my performances in glowing terms; I'm awfully hard on myself a lot of the time. I'm realizing that I am, indeed, doing OK.
    Most of the time, the people in my life are so much kinder to me than I am to myself. It's  time for me to "be kind to yourself."

    :)

    Maybe later, I'm currently too busy being "unkind" to others...

    To put it another way: Don't feel bad about giving up. You are never going to succeed anyway.

    I think its meant to be encouraging and also as healthy advice. If you do the best you can and don't beat yourself up  thinking you could be doing better you won't get high blood pressure  from being stressed out. Cheers and happy weekend!
