Summary

This quote humorously suggests the speaker's confidence and arrogance about their ability to provide helpful suggestions or guidance if they were present at the moment of creation. It implies that they believe they possess a high level of wisdom or intelligence that could have influenced the process of creation in a positive way. However, it also highlights the human tendency to offer opinions and believe that we have the answers or solutions to major events or phenomena, even ones as significant as the origin of the universe.

Stand up to crises. Don't let them throw you! Fight to stay

Stand up to crises. Don't let them throw you! Fight to stay calm... even surmount the crisis completely and turn it into an opportunity. Refuse to renounce your self-image. No matter what happens, you must keep your good opinion of yourself. No matter what happens, you must hold your past successes in your imagination, ready for showing in the motion picture screen of your mind. No matter what happens, no matter what you lose, no matter what failures you must endure, you must keep faith in yourself. Then you can stand up to crises, with calm and courage, refusing to buckle; then you will not fall through the floor. You will be able to support yourself.
