For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

Set goals, and you don't reach. Your high stop until them. (sh.itjust.works)

That's bad advice anyway.

Set reasonably attainable goals, then once you've accomplished it set a new reasonably attainable goal.
Frequently reassess whether the goal you originally set is still actually the goal you most want to be pursuing. Sometimes you set a goal and at some point later realize it isn't worth it or will never actually succeed, in which case you're much better off abandoning that goal so you can instead pursue a goal that will actually succeed.

Aim for the Moon.
At least if you miss, you'll end up among the stars, floating to the infinite without any chance of rescue, counting the hours for the oxygen to run out, wondering if it's better to just open the airlock, joining the void in an empty embrace.

Well, oxygen running out means you simply get unconscious after being unable to think straight, so a rather "warm" way to go.

True, but if there's nowhere for carbon dioxide to go, you're in for an unpleasant end...

Well, if you mess up a trans-lunar injection, you'll still be in orbit around the Earth. You'll still be able to see the Sun quite well, but I'm not sure if that counts as "among the stars".

And don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy.

Aiming for the moon only works if you don't get discouraged, injured or exhausted along the way.

Well, technically most of the way you don't have to do much on that journey, most of the effort is to get into Earth orbit.
