Advice for everything,and short enough for a T-shirt.
I think there must be something buried deep in the human condition that craves some sort of simple proxy for things very complex and important. I know that physicists crave this because there is an ongoing search for the theory of everything ā theyāre looking for something so concise that it can be put on a T-shirt. How do I know this? I happened to read a book called the Universe on a T-shirt: The Quest for the Theory of Everything, by Dan Falk. IālI say itās a fun read, particularly if youāre not a physicist.
Iāll admit I have no ideal why this came to mind but here we are, and I suppose here we goā¦

Sure, a smart snappy meme is a simple search away, but since the Internet is still very much the wild, wild west and nothingās been agreed upon, I should at least get my voice out there. So here goes, this is what Iāve come up with ā āKeep moving, just not backwardsā. Itās profound, meaningful, simple, helpful, and definitely will fit on a T-shirt (although I will openly admit itās not so clever or unique). I should also mention that this can be taken literally, although it mostly should be taken figuratively; for no other reason that I believe constant movement in a literal sense is a biological impossibility. Wait.. Iām wrong⦠sharks are constantly on the move or they will drown⦠but I digress (although I hope my point is well taken).
At this point Iām not even sure if Iām trying to be serious or just writing with my tongue-in-cheek. Nonetheless, there are some important messages behind my newly minted meme, and I believe theyāre worth noting.
When you are moving, by definition there is action, and when there is action, something is getting done.
Although the movement may sometimes be slow, you are still progressing forward.
When you are moving you have momentum and that can take you far, particularly when you are a little tired.
Moving takes you to new places.
Not moving backwards ensures you are progressing.
You are definitely harder to catch when you are moving.
Itās healthier to move ā it keeps you loose, agile, and strong.
If you arenāt moving youāre probably not doing anything
All of this is quite literally and figuratively speaking.
I really should consider having T-shirts made... maybe even sell them on the Internet⦠Iāll make a fortune.
