Make it each day your endeavor to become a better (Wo)man
pg 5:
Letters from a Stoic
Be consistent in your studies
and prioritize it over other commitments
consistency beats Talent in the long run;
Start with what you have
Do what you can;
Focus on the Present;
Humans are different from beasts in that
they have foresight
that becomes a bane
For we send our thoughts a long way ahead-
we do not adapt ourselves to the present
but rather keep "Looking forward" to the Future
Torment ourselves over that which is to come
In the name of hope, we 'look forward' to
In the name of looking forward to - we carry fear along with!
Focus!
Be Present!
And make each day your endeavor to become a better person!
Farewell!
