This can be swiftly taught in very few words: virtue is the only good; there is no certain good without virtue; and virtue resides in our nobler part, which is the rational one. And what can this virtue be? True and steadfast judgment. For from this will arise every mental impulse, and by it every appearance that spurs our impulses will be rendered clear. -SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 71.32-' 이것은 매우 적..

오늘의 [영어명언/영어필사] 마음명상,긍정적이고 좋은 글귀는 This isn't for fun. It's for life ! Philosophy isn't a parlor trick or made for show. It's not concerned with words, but with facts. It's not employed for some pleasure before the day is spent, or to relieve the uneasiness of our leisure. It shapes and builds up the soul, it gives order to life, guides action, shows what should and shouldn't be done-it sits at t..

Many words have been spoken by Plato, zeno, Chrysippus, Posidonius, and by a whole host of equally excellent Stoics. I'll tell you how people can prove their words to be their own by putting into practice what they've been preaching. -Seneca, MoralLetters, 108.35;38- 플라톤, 제노, 크리시푸스, 포세이도니우스, 그리고 마찬가지로 뛰어난 스토아 학자들은 많은 단어들을 말해왔습니다. 저는 그들이 설교한 것을 실천함으로써 ,어떻게 사람들의 말이 자신의 것이라는 것을 증명할 수 있는 지 알려드리겠습니다...

오늘의 긍정글귀 , 영어필사는 Perfection is the enemy of action. 완벽함은 행동의 적이다 ! 와 관련된 글들입니다. 저도 완벽주의는 아니지만 완벽주의가 되고 싶어하는 사람이고 MBTI 도 S, J 를 띄고있는 아주 계획적이고 현실적인 사람으로써 제가 추구하는 완벽이 얼마나 저를 피곤하게하고 시작을 두렵게 만들고 행동하기를 주저하게 만드는 지 알기 때문에 이 글이 와닿았어요. 완벽과 가깝게 하지 않을거면 아예 시작하고 싶지 않고, 가능성이 높게 보이지 않으면 시작하길 꺼려하는 저로써는 이 글을 이렇게 해석해보았는데요. We don't abandon our pursuits because we despair of ever per-fecting them -Epictetus, Disco..

Don't tell yourself anything more than what the initial impressions report. It's been reported to you that someone is speaking badly about you. This is the report- the report wasn't that you've been harmed. I see that my son is sick but not that his life is at risk. So always stay within your first impressions, and don't add to them in your head this way nothing can heppen to you. -Marcus Aureli..

Wherever a person can live, there one can also live well; life is also in the demands of court, there too one can live well. -Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.16- 사람이 살 수 있는 곳이면 어디든지 잘 살 수 있다. 삶은 법원에서 요구하는 것 안에서 즉 법안에서 잘 살 수 있다. 사실 오늘 마르쿠스 아우렐리우스 황제의 얘기는 뜻을 이해하기가 어려워서 한참을 들여다봤다.아직도 잘 모르겠다. 영어 실력이 부족한 탓, 직역이 아닌 본질의 뜻을 파악하기에 아직 내가 부족한 탓. 혹시 위에 말을 이해하신 분 있으시면 저 좀 알려주세요. William Lee Miller, in his un..

That cucumber is bitter, so toss it out! There are thorns on the path, then keep away! Enough said. Why ponder the existence of nuisance? Such thinking would make you a laughing-stock to the true student of nature, just as a carpenter or cobbler would laugh if you pointed out the sawdust and chips on the floors of their shops. Yet while those shopkeepers have dustbuns for disposal, nature has no..
