what does "Get off the pity potty" mean?
I watched an A.D as follows:

Are you too tired? Didn’t get enough sleep? Don’t have enough energy? Don’t have enough time? Is that what’s stopping you right now? don’t have enough money? Is that the thing? Or is the thing that's stopping you, you? !
Excuses sound best to the person who's making them up. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get off the pity potty, telling everybody you're sad and sob stories, trying to get people to show up to your pity parties and your pity parades.
If you ever see me in a Rolls Royce, a 6 or 7 star hotel, living my life to the fullest, don't get jealous of me. Cause I worked my ass off to get it. Nobody handed me nothing. Wake your ass up! Awaken the beast inside. It's game on. it's go season. It's time for you to take advantage of the access and the resources that you have in your country and your community.
You got a problem with your life? You got a problem with your environment? Do something about it. If you want it, go get it! Recognize the excuses are not valid. They're conjured up, they're fabricated, they're lies.
And how do you stop the lies? You stop the lies with the truth. And the truth is you have time, you have the skill, you have the knowledge, and the support, and the willpower, and the discipline, to get it done.
The fruit of everything good in life begins with a challenge. Everything is uphill that's worthwhile. And it's not going to come to you, and it's not going to fall in your lap, and it's not going to be something that, oh my gosh. It just was so simple; it's always going to be difficult. If you want it, you gotta go get it.
This is your chance. This is your shot. This is your moment. This is your time. This is your place. This is your opportunity. This is my time. This is my moment. tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. ain't no such thing as tomorrow. we only got today. It's your dream. If you're going to have it, get your butt up and make it happen. If you're going to have it, rise and grind.
You still got work to do, stay on that basketball court, stay on that football field, it's grind season, homie. 

i don't know what these words mean:
Get off the pity potty
your pity parties and your pity parades.
fall in your lap

could you help me to explain them, thank you very much in advance.

(12.30) which is correct? Please help me.Thank u VERY MUCH. original texts: I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. "Jimmy," I said, "I have some problems here and I was wondering if you could keep my mother company while I'm busy. " My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy served my mom her treats, and presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had practiced the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep conversation. Q1: Jimmy served my mom her treats. This sectence is wrong in logically? The right one should be: Jimmy served my mom his treats ? Q2: If it's : Jimmy served my mom with his treats, is that right? Thank u very much.

10 things you didn’t know about China until you came here. ---1 Hi, this is Owen, a Chinese guy who is learning English. Today I want to talk about 10 things about China you didn’t know until you really came here. I hope it’s useful for someone who is learning Chinese and want to come here for a visit someday. OK. Here it is. 1. Before you come here, you could never realize that how hard working Chinese students are. Chinese students are like bombs. When you come here, you’ll know a child can be so hard working. That’s the foundation of how China has obtained the economic magical in past 40 years. 2. Before you come here, you may don’t know that there’re 55 minority nationalities in China. You probably thought that all Chinese people are HAN nationality and all people look the same. When you come here, you may meet a man who looks like a Russian and he speaks Chinese or you may meet a girl who looks like a Kazakhs but she still speaks Chinese. 3. Before you come here, you couldn’t know that China is one of the most convenient countries to live. You can just sit there and order whatever you need by your phone. When your order comes soon later, you just need to pay it through your phone without any cash. Actually, you just can take your phone to anywhere to pay almost everything without any cash or any card. Just one smart phone. 4. When u come here, you may realize that the squat toilets in most public places are much cleaner than the close tools. Because not one Chinese want to make his/her ass on other’s ass when you use bathroom/restroom in a public place. We only use close tools at home. 5. When u come here, I beg you really don’t say that you can drink alcoholic very much. Any Chinese, a man or a woman, even my grandma could probably make you regret you’ve come here. You would be dead meat. to be continued

Please Revise It: another version of self-introduction for the coming MBA interview Dear teachers: My name is WYX, 32 years old from Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. I graduated from Shanghai Normal University with Western Economics major. After graduation, I have been working in finance for more than 13 years. In the past 10 years, I worked mainly in real estate companies as an accounting manager. Before leaving the postgraduate examination, I have resigned and concentrated on preparing for the CPA exam and this exam. I am a motivated and self-disciplined person who is eager to realize my own life value. I have been dealing myself in the professional field. By the end of 2018, I have already obtained the “Medium Level Accountant Title” , the “Primary Level Accountant Title” and passed 4 professional courses of CPA. The remaining 2 courses are expected to be accepted in October 2019, and then I can get my CPA certificate. At the same time, I have always had a Master Degree dream. Due to work and personal issues, I decided to take the postgraduate examination in 2018, and then went to Nanjing to develop. Therefore, I applied for the MPAcc of Nanjing University Of Finance & Economics University (NUFE). Because of not being familiar with the Nanjing’s colleges before, I only knew that NUFE might suit my major, so I chose to apply for that college. However, due to many years of working, the test ability was not as good as before, so the test results was not satisfied, I only got 187 points but it’s beyond the National cutoff line which is about 165 points. That’s why I apply for transfer from NUFE’s MPAcc to HHU’s MBA. However, I have learned that many MBA majors also have research directions in finance and accounting, and for an accounting staff, it is not only to obtain the MPAcc certificate will have a better development. In addition, after many years of hard working, I know that it is not only about the family background, or the University name that determine a person's development ability. The more important thing is individual's long-term and persistent efforts. Studying and living in Nanjing is my best choice and dream. I implore you could give me a chance to study MBA here. Today maybe I could be proud of being a student of NC/HH/NL’s MBA, and maybe in the future, NC/HH/NL University will be proud to have a student like me. Okay, that’s all. Thanks again for making me to speak about myself. Thank you.

EMERGENCY! HELP! Please Revise It: A Self-introduction for My MBA Degree Interview Every interview has a self-introduction in English. So I have done a rough draft as follows. Thank you so much. Gratitude in advance. MAIN BODY: Good morning, every respected teacher, Thank you for giving this wonderful opportunity to me to introduce myself to you. My name is WYX. I’m 32 years old. First of all, I want to talk about my life. I was born and grew in CHUZHOU city, ANHUI province. I’m a diligent and outgoing but a little bit shy person. And also, I am a self-motivated and self-disciplined person. I am always keen to up-skill myself by learning new things whenever I get a chance. Secondly, I want to talk about my hobbies. In my free time, I enjoy jogging, reading and learning English. You know, jogging makes people healthy. No health, no everything. Why reading? Because knowledge is power. Reading makes men wise. And learning English keeps me opening my eyes to see the outside world. Thirdly, I want to talk about my job and career. For the past more than 10 years, I’ve been working in real estate industry as an accounting. And I’ve been an accounting manager during the last 5 years. It is from many years working that I realized I enjoy analyzing things connected to the society and the Mother Nature. For me, accounting is all about making right decisions at the right time and studying the possible outcomes. I have an analytical approach towards things I do. I believe, that helps me to understand a wide range of issues from what determines the price, costs, causes, and consequences. Accounting is truly all around us. Studying the subject gives me a generalist understanding of the world we live in and its inner workings. What I find extremely attractive being an accounting is that the profession is so demanding. Because currently, everything changes so quickly and every day is a new sunrise. Such a dynamic environment is certainly very exciting, but also a little bit stressful too. However, I can multitask, and deal with the pressure. In the end, I want to talk about the future. In 2018, I’m under tons of pressure. But I don’t know why, I just figure that 2019 is really worth the wait. Probably because this year I’m gonna study the MBA, find a new job in Nanjin city, and maybe end being single. Anyway, I know the way ahead is not easy, but I'm gonna just do it and never give up. Okay, That’s all. Thanks again for making me to speak about myself. Thank you.

Please Revise It: Owen's Morning Journal 2019. These days I’ve been watching TV series “ Friends” and “Growing Pains” to learn English. I got a confuse about these two tv series. Growing pains started earlier than Friends and it’s about family and children stuff, but why its script lines is more difficult to understand. Like in S01-E01, Maggie said “go ahead, make my day”, Jason said ” Two career couples should really make a special effort to always remain…frisky” , Carol said “you give new meaning to the word vacuous….I rest my case” and what Ben said really makes me mad. Why are the lines are so difficult to understand and i can’t get them through without studying the lines after watching. Anybody can explain this for me. Thank you.

Please modify it: Owen's Morning Diary --2019.2.2 God! Can’t believe it’s 2019 already. Where did all the time go? These days I’m on Chinese Spring Festival holiday, and I’m getting a little bit lazy. Yesterday I heard a TED speech called “THE NOTSORRY METHOD” by Sarah Knight. It has two steps. Step1: Decide what you don’t give a fuck about. Step2: Don’t give a fuck about those things. Wow, that’s dope! Well, the thing I hate most during Spring Festival is that people always love to ask me why I’m still single. Duh! I really get sick of it. I really can’t stand of these stupid questions. I might have been acting like a total slacker once in a while, but at least I was never a drag and flake, which is something I’m always proud of. BTW, I watched a movie called “Mr and Mrs Smith” and acted by Petter Breed and Angelina Jolie. That’s a pretty cool movie. Breed was so young and handsome and Jolie was so beautiful at that time. How lovely the youth is. I miss my youth. At the same time, I got a interlude music from the movie called “Making Love Out of Nothing At All”. Wow, this song is slick. Now, I’m gonna start looping this song all the holidays. The band “ Air Supply” from Australia is gorgeous.

Owen's English Morning Diary 2019.2.1 From today I want to write morning diary in the future in English. I’m not sure I can put my finger on that for how long. Anyway I’d like take a try for learning English. yesterday I did 3 things. Number 1: I’ve learned an English song called “the sound of silence” by Simon & Garfunkel. But I sound really bad. Damn it. I’m a deep voice and I can’t sing any high vocal. Number 2: I heard a TED speech by some guy who is kinda of a founder of “live your legend” website. His speech is about “how to find your favorite job”. And he show the 3 key points: find your unique strengths, find your job’s value, and put everything to be the experiences. Number3: a host who is teaching English in a radio program in China recommends a book to his listeners. The book is “how to win friends and influence people”. So I bought an English version online. Hope it helps. Anyone can modify this little article for me? Thank you in advance. If u wanna learn Chinese, maybe a penpal, just contact me.
