Waarom zoveel tijd en aandacht geven aan goed schrijven?

Ja goed schrijven is leuk en kan veel voldoening geven, maar er zit meer in.

En dat zit in het volgende wat ik vorige week las:

Het doel van een schoolessay – of van welk stuk tekst dan ook – is niet het eindproduct op papier. Het gaat om de persoon die JIJ bent als je het eenmaal hebt […]

Perseverance is something larger

If persistence is attempting to solve some difficult problem with dogged determination and hammering until the break occurs, then plenty of people can be said to be persistent. But perseverance is something larger. It’s the long game. It’s about what happens not just in round one but in round two and every round after—and then the fight after that and the fight after that, until the end.

Access to a temenos

It’s important for us to remember in our own journey to self-improvement: one never arrives. The sage—the perfect Stoic who behaves perfectly in every situation—is an ideal, not an end.

~ Ryan Holiday

For me, the first glimmer of my own access to a temenos (the ancient name and clarity of the place’s meaning and utility came much later) was when I took up a daily reading practice. At first, I selected a physical book designed to be a daily devotional, and later I’ve bent all my daily reading into digital formats. The key point being: I needed to anchor my daily habit in an analog context, away from all the digital addictions I had developed. Later, once the habit was the thing I enjoyed more than the digital distraction, I was able to bend digital tools to my use.

As opposed to how digital tools normally (by their creators’ designs) bend you to their use.

Where to place the crowbar

Revert to what Epictetus described as our “chief task in life”—getting real clear about what’s up to us and what isn’t. Our actions, our thoughts, our feelings—these are up to us. Other people, the weather, external events, these are not. But here’s the thing: our responses to other people, the weather, external events are in our control. To reset your life, the best place to start is with making this distinction and then choosing to focus on the things that are in your control. If only because it concentrates your resources in the places where they matter.

~ Ryan Holiday, from You Slipped Up […]

Bryan Ward wrote a great article How The Hammer Fails You and reading his metaphor about the hammer versus the crowbar was a pivotal moment for me. Later, I realized that Epictetus’s counsel feels like the seed for Ward’s metaphor.

Am I applying my mental or physical effort in the correct place?

Until my answer was consistently coming up yes, that was the most useful question I kept asking.

How we feel about it

We don’t get to choose what happens to us, but we can always choose how we feel about it. And why on earth would you choose to feel anything but good? We can choose to render a good account of ourselves. If the event must occur, Amor Fati (a love of fate) is the response.

#neostoicism is a mutation of ancient aretaic virtues toward service of the #technocracy.
It is #managerial #ethics disguised as #virtue.
Rather than learning actual self-discipline, it is subsumption for #productivity.
Instead of accepting what can't be changed, it is excuses for collective responsibilities.
Instead of self-mastery it is optimizing performance.

The neo-stocism comes from #redpill "father figures": #JordanPeterson, #ElonMusk, #AndrewTate, #DanBilzerian, #JackDonovan, #JockoWillink, #DavidGoggins, #CurtisYarvin, and #RyanHoliday . The relationship between this, nazi neoclassicism, and modern fascism are not accidents.

A productive stoic is an ideal subject of work and rule: self-monitoring, and compliant.

Forbearance

Clearheadedness and action are not always enough, in politics or in life. Some obstacles are beyond a snap of the fingers or novel solution. It is not alway possible for one person to rid the world of a great evil or stop a country bent toward conflict. Of course, we try—because it can happen. But we should be ready for it not to. And we need to be able to find a greater purpose in this suffering and handle it with firmness and forbearance.

~ Ryan Holiday, from The Obstacle is the Way

Do good. Be better.

Been working through #TheDailyStoic this year (up to May so far, I'm not great about it) and enjoying it. It's a quote-a-day book by #RyanHoliday, and leans pretty heavily on Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius.

I don't really follow Holiday, but I appreciate what he's done to popularize stoic ideas.

Strategy

What matters is whether a certain approach gets you to where you want to go. And let’s be clear, using obstacles against themselves is very different from doing nothing. Passive resistance is, in fact, incredibly active. But those actions come in the form of discipline, self-control, fearlessness, determination, and grand strategy.

~ Ryan Holiday

Pragmatism

Pragmatism is not so much realism as flexibility. There are a lot of ways to get from point A to point B. It doesn’t have to be a straight line. It’s just got to get you where you need to go. But so many of us spend so much time looking for the perfect solution that we pass up what’s right in front of us.

~ Ryan Holiday

Benefit

The one way to guarantee we don’t benefit from failure—to ensure it is a bad things—is to not learn from it. To continue to try the same things over and over (which is the definition of insanity for a reason). People fail in small ways all the time. But they don’t learn. They don’t listen. They don’t see the problems that failure exposes. It doesn’t make them better.

21 lessons

In this article, I wanted to share some of the many lessons I’ve learned from George over the years and in the process of working on the book with him. His wisdom and example have influenced my life in ways I never could have imagined—I hope these 21 lessons impact you as much as they have impacted me…

I’m not even quoting a single one, because you should go read them all.
