      You don't have to do it well. You just have to try to do it well. There's a big difference there. I teach freshman comp and some classes are decidedly not well done. . . so what? It's just another drop in the bucket that no one remembers for long.

    As a Marine Corps Veteran, I wish I could have viewed the world like this as a young man. I think about my time in the miliary nearly every day. The Marine Corps gave me something invaluable. And yet, I could have gotten so much more, had I been able to use a mind with this depth of understanding. Today, as i randomly watch this video, I am engulfed with gratitude for having been able to be part of something as incredible as life itself and for the things I have experienced. I hope that I too can have the courage to become remotely close to being a person like mahatma, king or any other person who selflessly, and non violently presented their lives in such a way; that their behavior spoke for itself. I cannot put into words, the kind of things I think because of my service in the Marines, only other marines can describe this. I am sure many of us, can only imagine what it must be like to be a war leader. Someone whos' job is to maintain a position of world strength. A position that makes them one of the most hunted men in the world. What goes on in their minds, in the dark of the night...... is something only they know. Courage, is an understatement.

      This seems like one huge contradiction. Unless I stepped into one of those rick and morty alternate universe portal worlds I dont recall MLK or Gandhi having been war leaders. I dont know if the part about living nonviolently necessarily squares up completely with that other part about being one of the most hunted men in the world

      @@largequestionmark Good response. The Marine Corps is a peaceful organization. MLK and Ghandi could practice non-violence because they were dealing with the bad behavior on the part of the U.S. and Britain, who were otherwise freedom loving, justice loving people. But non-violence would have been a disaster dealing with southern slave owners or Hitler.

    I’m 26 and a construction contractor, I had a very prestigious mini project which was supposed to be completed in twelve days. Today is the 16th day and whatever could go wrong, happened. Now all these 16 days me and my team have worked 15-16 hours every single day and now I’m on the verge of breaking down. But I’m taking it one day at a time simplifying simple tasks so that it doesn’t seem a big mountain.

      Hopefully you've already finished, but typically the psychology that drives me home to the finish in these situations is, "I've come this far, & invested so much, & I'll be damned if I don't see it through". Anyway, I hope you completed what you set out to do & have tasted the sweet taste of accomplishing your mission regardless of any unforseen adversity. For me, it makes it SOOOOOO much SWEETER!

    Thank you Ryan Holiday this is my understand of your lecture: "We owe it to ourselves to uphold the loftiest of standards while nurturing our innate need for compassion. It is paramount to preserve our individuality and the clarity of our conscience while extending the hand of forgiveness to those who may not measure up to the exacting criteria we set for ourselves. True strength emerges when we confront adversity with unwavering honesty.
    We stand firmly upon the foundation of knowledge. This legacy offers us not only wisdom but also the ethical compass needed to guide our choices toward a more fulfilling life. Our disposition mirrors the wealth of knowledge we've gathered over time. It is incumbent upon us to channel this inherent quality towards a profound purpose in society, a moral obligation that compels us to dedicate ourselves to the greater good."

    I so needed to hear this. It is spoke of everything. I have been thinking and feeling, and haven't been able to put it together. Thank you so much, so so much, for bringing the pieces of the puzzle together to form the whole picture, for me. totally gonna look into the rest of this guys stuff. and you know what, thank you for not doctoring it up, I didn't really need to have a college education, to understand how to have grace in the face of adversity. You talk to me like you're just somebody I'm standing at the bus stop with. And I appreciate that. good luck with your journey, and being a better you. I'm hoping what you have said, will help me be a better me. I'm creating a playlist, that says, this day, I will be a better me. And I'm going to listen to this on my commute, every day. For 2 1/2 hours, to make it 42 miles, as a blind man. And that last two words, should say it all. totally cited for my whole life, 35 years, and the last 14 of it, I've been blind. I'm 49 now. And struggle with a lot of things in the world. People and their ignorance. Municipalities and whatever's. It's just hard. And I'm gonna have to obviously stop and listen to this again because, it sounds like I'm regressing. Lol. Thanks again.

    I work in mission-critical roles, where lives are on the line. Stoicism has grounded and focused me at times when I might otherwise have folded, and been the cause of losing some of those souls. The Daily Stoic brings quickly digestible, easily understandable lessons to the mind's forefront, and fosters feelings of confidence, lucidity, and empowerment unequaled by anything I've yet experienced.

    Mr. Holiday does a decent job simplifying deep material. It is interesting how he defines ARETE as EXCELLENCE. Professor Susan Meyer, Ph.D., translates ARETE as "the goodness of anything." This is a much wider scope, than what we think of when we say/read virtue (in English).
    Mr. Holiday's books are enjoyable reads. My two favorites are: EGO IS THE ENEMY and STILLNESS IS THE KEY (I'm still torn between the two;).
    Thank you for your time.

    I'm all about Ryan Holiday's stoicism and I absolutely need to and will strive to adopt more of it in my life. What I'm not about is polarizing even this talk to US Marines by, once again, impugning Donald Trump - who Holiday hates and calls a "deranged tyrant" - and not even doing so directly, but passive aggressively. If this clown thinks there aren't Marines in that auditorium who would gladly take a bullet for Trump, he's wrong. But Holiday knows this and does it anyway. "Your flawed idol fails you."

    It’s so interesting how this truth and wisdom is credited coming from “The Stoics”. The Word of God said it first.

    Great talk to the troops. Though I dare say the entire Higher Command of the entire US Military needs to be given this lecture and understand it. Higher Command is FILLED with career soldiers who care NOTHING for their country, but only the advancement of their careers and retirement options.

    this guy is amazing - he was born into money, he got everything on a spoon, and then he started to learn about the "hardships of life" and stoic, telling everyone how the obstacle is the way, and you think about it, the guy never even had any obstacle, he never built a company, failed, or was poor, never worked for someone for real, but what he did is to sell dreams to Americans.
    Yes - you now default to telling me that i am complaining and i am a failure because i don't follow his advice, but that is their oldest trick - "you criticize me because you never learned from me".
    Let him start from scratch, and show me how he practice stoicism, when he struggle to pay rent.

      What? So you don't think rich people have issues? You think all kids who grow up in rich families had good childhoods? Everyone has challenges, no matter how rich! He's right, ego holds us back, Spirit allows us to see the truth. Your ego made you wite your post!

      @@SunshinyDay4423 don't be silly, question was if he was born into being rich and then wrote his books, or did he grow from scratch, not to mention that his challenges, I promise you, are nowhere closed to any middle class men in the US. Whatever challenges he has, a normal man has, plus money problems (which usually solve everything except health anyway)
      I had enough hearing from rich people about how to live, they use you, you stay poor while listening to their bs, and they makes money out of you - you are their product. Those who grow from nothing do not provide advices, for some odd reason.

      @@rantg you have issues inside yourself that are totally ego driven. You missed the point of his entire speech. Money doesn't buy confidence or love or happiness or emotional security. You live like you're a victim of someone else's doing. If you don't learn the difference between the ego and the spirit then you are destin for a life of fear, angry, resentment and sorrow which are all of the ego. That's all outside of yourself.

      @@SunshinyDay4423 bla bla. this world has 2 groups of people: those who have money and worked hard to get it(usually they have love and confidence as well), and those who "learn from them". Those who do stuff(rich), and those who learn stuff(poor).
      Whatever bs you say is nice and all, but to be in the first group, you have to work hard and any other type of bs just doesnt matter ( unless, you born rich and can write books about difficulties).
      After working with such people from both sides, i now know clearly that this world has only 2 groups, and the poeple on the second group are always good stoic and Tim Ferris stuff, etc, but those on the first group work smart, and then sell stuff to the second group.
