Ask yourself this :
How will you enjoy when you are possessing it? and time afterwards!
Epictetus : Enchiridion 34
Don't just be carried by pleasures - just as other impressions
Take care that the charming pleasure and attraction do not overcome you!
Say, you hold a position - Guard yourself - of the pride , charm, pleasure and attraction - of that position ;
Imagine the day that you may not have it
you need to ensure that your identity does not merge with what can be taken away by fortune!
rather your identity must merge with something that cannot be taken away - like being a coach, mentor , teacher;
Hold only to things that cannot be snatched away by Lady Luck!
