Things Game Of Thrones Taught Us

Things GOT Taught Us

1 Owning up to your deeds

The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. — Ned Stark

Willing or otherwise, it is essential one fesses up the mistakes/actions and defend the doings of the past by executing what ensues. The individual delivering assertive instructions must safeguard the sanctity of his words and conduct till the breath bates.

2 Explicating obsessions

The things I do for love. — Jaime Lannister

Many a man does many a deed that might not be capable of vindicating, but still does it anyway.

WHY?
The phrase above capsulizes the unabashed reply.

3 Embellishing your Imperfections

Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armour, and it can never be used to hurt you.— Tyrion

In tough times of despair, prehending the self-identity is quintessential to survival. The one aware of his idiosyncrasies anterior, has nothing much to learn of posterior.

4 Touch-and-gone

The day will come when you think you are safe and happy, and your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth. — Tyrion Lannister

Time is not the best of pals to have. Whilst it never comes alone, you can never have too much of it either. It cuts you to size exactly when you consider augmenting.

5 Lining the clouds silver

Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. — Littlefinger

Coming from the most shrewd strategian in G.O.T. history, the dialogue renders a bird-eye view tothe most elusive of times mankind experiences, chaos. Gambles are worth taking risks for if the aftermath is correctly traced.

6 Unlearning Prejudices

"Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick. A shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow.- Lord Varys

Refuting the naysayers is integral to preserve your sanity. It may be done only when one casts out the long-borne prejudice and enlightens the mind to a greater understanding.

7 Negating patriarchy

I don't plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me. — Lyanna Mormont

It was not just Arya who had the grit to contend the fierce, Lyanna carved her niche by her not-so-docile lady-like ways too. Neither fancied being a ‘Lady’ andscraped skulls every time someone asked them to behave like one.

8 Bashing the brutes, the savage way

The next time you raise a hand to me will be the last time you have hands. - Daenerys Targaryen

A stunner performer, she clearly meant what she said as she hissed these words to her brother. Unlike the oppressed she rose from the ashes, just like a Phoenix. After all, she was called the ‘Stormborn’, all for a reason.

9 Sheath the designs until it is time

Aman with no motives is a man no one suspects. Always keep your foes confused. If they don’t know who you are or what you want, they can’t know what you plan to do next. - Littlefinger

The underlined moral shall ever be to keep the foes guessing your stakes. Your plans must be evermore covet unless it is of course, show-time. Surprise them with the moves, stun them with the upshots anddazzle them once-and-for-all; only till the next kickoff. Alas!

10 Condolences to the compensator

Nothing isn’t better or worse than anything. Nothing is just nothing. -Arya Stark

A daredevil-in the making Arya busted mediocrities for so long we can’t even remember. For her,being downright took her all the way. A dime a dozen, she hurled her way.

11 Unity, the more the merrier

When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives.- Sansa Stark

The ‘Gryffindor’ of G.O.T. , the Starks set the screen ablaze everytime they shared screen space. Their nobility, ethics, bravery, grit swayed the audience time and again. This brawny dialogue quoted by Sansa as the ‘Longest Night’ ensued only reminded us of Ned Stark, when he said it first.

12 Face-valuing things

Power is power. Cersei Lannister

The political terrain stands as a stalwart example for this, now more than ever. Power being the most desirable for many a men, shall ever command the same dignity it always has, even after milleniums.

13 Cut the crap

Everything before the word ‘but’ is horseshit. -Jon Snow

Segregating appeasement fromstatementsis the trademark of an intelligent being. To savvy their meaning before I reply is like gauging the depth before I dive.

13 Grapple or swerve, do what it takes

I will take what is mine with fire and blood. –Daenerys Targaryen

The illustrious career of the Mother of dragons has spanned mostly around, ‘My way or highway.’ Rightly so. Remember the siege at King’s Landing fellas. Period.

14 Procrastinating like a pro

'What do we say to the Lord of Death?' 'Not today.'-Syrio Forel

This is undoubtedly the most impactful and impressionistic deliveries that shall eternally resonate with the fans. It arms us with resilience in the wake of troubles and sends word to HUSTLE till life calls it quits.

So the next time someone thrusts on you the aphorism of Kabir : ‘Kaal kare so aaj kar…….’ , cut them in between with a BOO and hurl the words – ‘Not today’ , unless it is your mother.
