1/ Things don't upset us. Our judgment about things does
2/ You become what you give your attention to
3/ You can't learn what you think you already knew
4/ To improve, be OK to be thought foolish
5/ Stop waiting to demand the best for yourself
Listen to many, trust few.
1/ We suffer more in imagination than in reality
2/ Associate only with people who improve you
3/ The greatest remedy for anger is delay
4/ Value your time more than your possessions
5/ Death is not in the distant future. We are dying every day
1. Don't look outside yourself for approval (Epictetus)
