Always Be Confident

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ 我们为什么害怕死亡？ 不是我们害怕死亡本身，而是畏惧死亡的到来！ 害怕死亡和害怕年老一样愚蠢，因为死亡伴随着年老，正如年老伴随着年轻。 一个不想死的人，不可能希望活着，因为生命赋予我们的道路是，我们将死去，每个人都将通向这目的地。 斯多葛主义告诉我们死亡是不可避免的，既然如此，我们必须过我们的生活，因为生命的真正意义在于它最终将会结束，这样我们才能学会真正地活着！

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ Why do we fear death? It is not that we fear death itself, so much as that we fear, the thought of death! Hence, it is as foolish to fear death as to fear old age, for death follows old age, precisely as old age follows youth. One who does not wish to die, cannot have wished to livve, for Life is granted to us with the reservation, that we shall die, & to this en...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ 你觉得自己怎么样？ 你为何在乎别人怎么看你？，你对自己的看法比别人对你的看法更切中要害。 我们是否无拘无束地向他人提供建议？，为传播给许多人的善辩护，而希望碰巧其中一些建议是有用的？，一个弓箭手不应该只是偶尔击中目标；而是应该偶尔错过它；偶然发生的事情不是一门艺术；智慧是一门艺术，它应该有明确的目标！ 塞内卡，坚道学。

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ What you think of yourself? Why do you care, what others think of you?, What you think of yourself, is much more to the point, than what others think of you. Do we freely give out advice to others?, Justifying the good we spread to the many, & by chance some of it may be good? The archer ought not to hit the mark only sometimes; one ought to miss it, only sometim...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ 你是在旅行还是只是在漂流？  认知你是谁，比追逐去什么地方更重要；因此，出于这个原因，我们不应让思维成为一个过程支配的控制。  我不是为世界的任何一个角落而生；整个宇宙都是我家。  然而，你并不是在旅行；你是在漂泊&被驱赶，只是换了另一个地方，尽管你所追求的——好生活——随处可得。  “对罪的认知是救赎的开始。”    论旅行治疗不满  塞内卡，坚...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ The person you are, matters more than the place to which you go; hence for that reason, we should not make the mind a slave to any one place.   "I am not born for any one corner of the universe; this whole world is my country."   As it is however, you are not journeying; you are drifting & being driven, only exchanging one place for another, although th...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ 什么才是真正的好？ 无序的快乐必须像犯罪一样付出高昂的代价，即使在犯罪时没有被发现，焦虑也不会随着犯罪后而结束；因此，对于内疚的快乐，即使快乐结束后，内疚遗憾依然存在。 宁可为一些存在的善而抛掷；然而，不可能有这样的善，除非灵魂自内部发现它, 如果你希望结果得以实现，这件事就不能委托给别人。 “真正的财富是根据自然规律调整的贫困。” 论永恒的善

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ What is truly Good ? Away with disordered pleasures, for just as crimes even if they have not been detected when they were committed, do not allow anxiety to end with them; so with guilty pleasures, regret remains even after the pleasures are over. Cast about rather for some good which will abide; however there can be no such good except as the soul discovers it for...

理解了死亡就是对生命的热爱!, 思考死亡，将促使我们理解自由，因此知道死亡就是热爱生命！ 一个学会了死亡的人，已经放弃了奴役，只有一条锁链将我们与生命联系在一起，那就是对生命的热爱。 抛开世界的意见；因为它总是摇摆不定，总是左右摇摆；因此，仔细区分哪些是你不能做的，还有哪些是你不想做的。

Thinking about death, bids us to understand freedom, as such to know Death is to Love Life ! One who has learnt to die has unlearned slavery, only one chain which binds us to life, & that is the love of life. Put aside the opinion of the world; as it is always wavering & always takes both sides; hence distinguish carefully what you cannot do, & what you do not want to do.

https://alwaysbeconfident.com 如何取得进步? 我不知道我是否会取得进步；但我宁愿没有成功，也不愿缺乏信心。 我们所有的财产都不是必不可少的；让我们回到自然法则；按照这个标准；当一个人把自己的欲望限制在这些范围内时，没有穷人。 做每一件事，就好像你的监护人在看着你一样，要有一个你可以仰慕的人，一个你可以视为你思想见证的人；一个孤独的人太接近一个无赖了。 论宗教改革

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ How should I act ? I do not know whether I shall make progress; but I should prefer to lack success rather than to lack faith. None of our possessions is essential; Let us return to the law of nature; when a person has limited their desires within these bounds; Nobody is poor according to this standard. Do everything as if your guardian were watching yyou, & to h...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ 我们该何时担心可能会发生的事物？，什么是在你的权力范围，而真正的权力在哪里？ 让我们把所有可能发生的事情都看作是即将发生的事情；因此为你可能在未来某个时候不快乐时，而现在不快乐，确实是愚蠢的；因此，你因安排适当时间去烦恼。 虽然你的智慧使你自信，但是，由于许多事情都超出了你的权力范围，所以你因该既希望公正的结果，又的要准备好对抗不公正的结局，因此学会，做最坏的打算，做...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com Let us think of everything that can happen as something which will happen; as such, it is indeed foolish to be unhappy now because you may be unhappy at some future time; Hence, allocate a time for worries, & free your appointment for happiness. Although your conscience makes you confident, yet, since many things have weight which are outside your case, both hope...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com 如何寻找与体会快乐喜悦？ 一个健全的基础，不是建立在无用的东西中寻找快乐，而是学会如何去体会自信的喜悦。 灵魂必须自信，只为来自你自身的东西感到高兴，来自一种只走一条平淡平静生活的方式。 因此，我们应该决定我们想要什么，并遵守这个决定。 论哲学带来的真正快乐

https://alwaysbeconfident.com The foundation of a sound mind, is not to find joy in useless things, & make it your business to learn how to feel joy. The soul must be confident & rejoice only in that which comes from within your very self,  from an even & calm way of living which treads but one path. Therefore, we should decide what we Wish, & Abide by the decision. On the Tru...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ 你应该满足于自己的事业，没有理由艰难地争取转向极端地抗争。 当一个人看到危险和风险时，他会撤退，但不会背对敌人，而是逐渐地撤退到一个安全恰当的位置。 人们不愿放弃优势报酬；但喜欢困苦带来的回报，但却在心里诅咒吃苦的艰辛。 人们抱怨追求的目标的野心，就像他们抱怨自己的爱人一样。如果你看透了他们的真实感触，你会发现，那并不是仇恨，而是争论不休。 没有人可以随身携带行李，游上...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ 你想要什么? 如果你想变得富有, 不要增加你的积蓄, 而是减去你的欲望. 照明和亮度之间的区别在于，一个光源从其他源头而来，而另一个光辉从光源发出光明，例如月亮在阴影中时是暗的，而太阳的照耀来自内部。 解渴的代价很小, 只求付出你所欠的, 而不仅仅是所能付出的. 我的作品将为你带来的名誉

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ What do you want ? If you wish, to be rich, do not add to your store of money, instead do subtract from your desires. The difference between illuminations & brightness, is that one source its light from others, while one radiates light from the source, such as the Moon is dark when cast in shadows, while the Sun radiance comes from within.  The thirst can be...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ 你已经浪费了足够多的时间; 当我们离开工作岗位后； 宁静，随着下岗带来放下心的欣慰。 小额债务，使一个人成为感激你的负债人，一个巨大的债务，使他们成为敌人。 不要选择吃什么，而要选择和谁一起吃；不求填饱肚子，可求滋养心灵。赋予的人更为重要，而不是应给予了谁。 论世俗与退休 再会。 塞内卡， 坚道学 。

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ Withdraw yourself, we have dissipated enough of our time; For when we leave the job behind, we are left with Peace in mind; Hence, be slated.

On Worldliness and Retirement Farewell, Seneca,...

https://alwaysbeconfident.com/ 拒绝退缩需要更大的勇气，既不让自己引人注目，也不让自己成为人群的一部分。 磨练心灵&预约时间，在恐惧的条件下考验自己；因此，要在危机来临之前进行训练，以免在危机来临时退缩。 问题不在于你能投下多大的火花，而在于火焰落在何处；正如许多大树都能抵挡火一样，最小的火花也能在稻草床上点燃；愤怒的火焰，源头与自己轻易引燃的火患。 论节日与禁食 再会。 塞内卡，坚道学。
