Two things, actually. "You are fired", and "You are hired". Also, does "I do" count?
"being trans isn't a mental illness and it's ok to be yourself"
Of course it's an identity you are born with. Whoever says it's one is themselves suffering from mental illness. Probably one of the ones mentioned below by my assistant.
Starting listening to podcasts is what has probably made the biggest change in how I see the world. It's difficult to single out any individual thing from there but one worth mentioning would be the realization of no free will. It's quite a different looking world once you realize that things happen because of other things that happened in the past - not because an agent with free will just decided to do so.

When I was 16 I had my first job at a shitty fast food restaurant, and on the first day my manager told me, "The difference between a good job and a great one is often just a couple minutes "
20 years later It still pops into my head whenever I'm working on a project, or work task, or even just stuff around the house. Usually it's right when I'm about to quit or give up and call it "good enough". And for the most part, I've found it to be true.
"Gentoo can be easy or hard, depending on how you look at it"
Now I really need to hear how you look at it...
I just assume it's easy with instructions. It's turned out well till now
If we could understand but a flower it could change our life.
The mind is the athlete.
My favourite is:
If you're scared to spell out a scary, bad word, find another word to use instead of trying to hide it behind similar characters.
