The quote that made Marcus Aurelius to conquer everything- "You are just a man"
The story goes that Marcus Aurelius hired an assistant to follow him as he walked through the Roman towns square.The assistant’s only role was to, whenever Marcus Aurelius was praised, whisper in his ear, « You’re just a man. You’re just a man. »
They say two things define us. Our patience when we have nothing and our humility when we have everything.
The person that we will become in 5 years is defined by the people we spend time with today. and the books that we read today. That’s why who we associate with, who we spend time with, who we absorb our energy with will really define what’s on our mind.
Often what limits our learning is that we believe we already know.
We already believe that we have knowledge.
We already believe that we have answers.
But actually opening up ourselves to learn from the people around us, selectively choosing people who can be guides and wise advisers.
