I would like to share the stoic book called Epictetus: Discourses and Selected Writings. He seems like an intelligent person with a very good personal philosophy. Epictetus had a good life but had some mighty downs and ups. He managed to teach boys how to build character and perhaps have a better chance to live a good life.

I chose to copy his example because I believe with all the advances in today’s world this kind of personal philosophy through experience still bares a lot of fruit.
