문장들.
It’s not sad. It’s not particulary happy. It’s just an impassive creature taking whatever life sends its way.
I would rather encourage you to think about stoicism a little bit but differently, as an operating system for thriving in high-stress environments, for making better decisions.
People used stoicism as a comprehensive system for doing many many things.
But for our purposes, chief among them was training yourself to separate what you can control from what you cannot control, and then doing exercises to focus exclusively on the former.
If you’re CEO, and you fly off the handle at a very valued employee because of a minor infraction, that could cost you the employee.
If you’re a college student who, say, is in a downward spiral, and you feel helpless and hopeless, unabated, that could cost you your life.
I was using depressants to wind down and go to sleep.
I felt completely trapped.
My problem was monkey mind- super loud, very incessant.
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.
What could I do to prevent each of these bullets from happening, or, at the very least, decrease the likelihood even a little bit?
I knew that helped to stave off depressive episodes.
I could fork over some money, fly to spain, get some sun_ undo the damage, if i got into a funk.
You can see we’re playing up the fears and really taking a conservative look at the upside.

Any further out, it starts to seem intangible.
My business was going to implode(붕괴,폭파) at any moment at all times, if i didn’t step away. My relationships were fraying(옷가지가 너덜너덜해지다) or failing. And I realized that inaction(활동안하는 것) was no longer an option for me.
I was able to extricate myself from business.

Not only was he familiar with stoicism, but he pointed out, for all of his most important decisions, his inflection points, when he stood up for his principles and ethics.
테드강의를 하시는 분들의 단어 선택이나 문장 구조가 참 이쁜것 같다. 뭔가 고급지고 formal한 느낌.
유투브의 대단함도 느꼇다. 자막도 나오고 전체 스크립트도 나오고.
저거는 내가 직접 자막보면서 모르는 단어가 나오는 부분의 스크립트를 적어놓은 것인데
읽으면서 따라해보면서 입에 익숙해지게 몇번씩 문장구조 이해하면서 읽어보는 용도.
무조건 입에 익혀야 된다.
이런 류의 강의들을 들어보고 한번도 하라는대로 한적이 없다. 이것도 해보지는 않았지만, 내가 두려워 하는 것들의 실체를 좀더 명확하게 잡는다면 결국 대수롭지 않게 여겨질 수도 있다는 것에 의의가 있는 것 같다.
항상 정지해 있을때는 움직이기 쉽지않다. 흔히 말하는 momentum위에서는 모든지 더 쉬워질 것이다.
멈춰있는 지금, 무언가 시작하기전에 두려움부터 없애보자. 없애기나 할 수 있을까
