We must make the best of what is under our control, and take the rest as its nature is.
Epictetus, The Discourse Book I
For you are the one that knows yourself, how much you are worth in your own eyes
and at what price you sell yourself. For different men sell themselves at different prices.
Epictetus, The Discourse Book I
What things are under my control?
Do I know myself well enough to know my price? I'm sure I sell myself too cheaply. - on a whim, a desire, a fear.
What I hated most about Kuhn’s lectures was the combination of
obscurantism and dogmatism. On one hand, he was extremely dogmatic. On
the other, it was never really clear about what.
Errol Morris, The Ashtray: (Or the Man Who Denied Reality)
It may be my problem too. I'm not sure what I'm dogmatic about.
