“The Superior man thinks of virtue; the small man thinks of comfort. The superior man thinks of the sanctions of the law; the small man thinks of favors in which he may receive”
— Confucius, The Analects, Part 4
As you work on making progress towards your evolution you must find an agreement with yourself to operate out of virtue and sacrifice.
What via crux are you capable of going through and why?
Once you embrace it, you will connect to truth and acquire a different societal position.
Connecting with virtue prevents fear. Calm judgment is the basis of fearlessness.
Sacrifices are about executing your ideas to their fullest extension and being capable of surrendering to the process.
Risk without possession.
Love without conditions.
Act and be relentless.
I have made 30+ trades in the past 18 months using over US$100K in margin. Interesting to see that margin soared this year. It can be quite useful.
Stoicism is helpful for startup founders and investors. Stoicism helped me find my dark side. Every founder should read the work of Marcus Aurelius and Seneca.
The best founders are the ones that suffered and prevailed. Suffering is the fastest way to progress. See reality for what is, not for what you want it to be.
