哲学：
Ancient philosophy is not just about talking or lecturing, or even reading long, dense books.ln fact, it is something people have used throughout history - to solve their problems and to achieve their greatest triumphs.

斯多葛学派：
Specifically, I am referring to Stoicism, which, in my opinion, is the most practical of all philosophies and therefore the most appealing.Stoicism was founded in Ancient Greece byZeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC, but was practised by the likes of Epictetus, Cato,Seneca and Marcus Aurelius.Amazingly, we still have access to these ideas, despite the fact that the most famous Stoics never wrote anything down for publication…

Stoicism思想：
Stoic principles were based on the idea that its followers could have an unshakable happiness in this life and the key to achieving this was virtue.The road to virtue, in turn, lay in understanding that destructive emotions, like anger and jealousy, are under our conscious control - they don’t have to control us, because we can learn to control them.
In the words of Epictetus: “external events l cannot control, but the choices I make with regard to them.l do control”.

The modern day philosopher and writer Nassim Nicholas Taleb defines a Stoic as someonewho has a different perspective on experiences which most of us would see as wholly negative; a Stoic “transforms fear into caution, pain into transformation, mistakes intoinitiation and desire into undertaking”. Using this definition as a model, we can see that throughout the centuries Stoicism has been practised in more recent history by kings,presidents, artists, writers and entrepreneurs.

…
Stoicism的影响
…
Stoicism has also become popular in the world of business.Stoic principles can build there silience and state of mind required to overcome setbacks because Stoics teach turningobstacles into opportunity. A lesson every business entrepreneur needs to learn.

学习Stoicism的价值：
l would argue that studying Stoicism is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago, thanks to its brilliant insights into how to lead a good life.At the very root of the thinking, there is a very simple way of living -control what you can and accept what you can’t. This is not as easy asit sounds and will require considerable practice - it can take a lifetime to master. The Stoics also believed the most important foundation for a good and happy life is not money, fame,power or pleasure, but having a disciplined and principled character - something which seems to resonate with many people today.
