Thus, the question for astronauts was not How skilled a pilot are you, but Can you keep an even strain? Can you fight the urge to panic and instead focus only on what you can change? On the task at hand? Life is really no different. Obstacles make us emotional, but the only way we'll survive or overcome them is by keeping those emotions in check--if we can keep steady no matter what happens, no matter how much external events may fluctuate.

Don't let the negativity in, don't let those emotions even get started. Just say: No, thank you. I can't afford to panic. This is the skill that must be cultivated--freedom from disturbance and perturbation--so you can focus your energy exclusively on solving problems, rather than reacting to them.

In our own lives, how many problems seem to come from applying judgments to things we don't control, as though there were a way they were supposed to be? How often do we see what we think is there or should be there, instead of what actually is there?

De alcanzar repetidas veces el exito y mantenerlo. El ego rechaza las ventajas y las oportunidades. Es un iman para los problemas y los conflictos. Es un iman para los enemigos y para los errores. Lo situa a uno entre la espada y la pared.

Many of our problems come from having too much: rapid technological disruption, junk food, traditions that tell us the way we're supposed to live our lives. We're soft, entitled, and scared of conflict. Great times are great softeners.

el ego es una creencia malsana en nuestra propia importancia. Esa es la definicion que usaremos en este libro. Es ese chiquillo irritable que hay dentro de cada uno, aquel que elige hacer lo que quiere por encima de cualquier otra cosa. La necesidad de ser mejor que, mas que, reconocido por, mas alla de cualquier utilidad razonable. Ese es el ego.

En este sentido, el ego es el enemigo de lo que deseamos y de lo que tenemos. El enemigo de la posibilidad de llegar a dominar un oficio. De la verdadera intuicion creativa. De la posibilidad de trabajar bien con los demas. De construir lealtad y apoyo. De la longevidad.

desapego es una especie de antidoto natural contra el ego. Es facil sentirse emocionalmente comprometido y enamorado del trabajo propio. Todos los narcisistas pueden hacerlo. Lo raro no es el talento ni la capacidad, y ni siquiera la seguridad en uno mismo, sino la humildad, la laboriosidad y la conciencia de si mismo.

But that's the nice thing about lawyers: as long as you're paying them, they're usually good with whatever terms go along with it. Compartmentalization is their job. It's how they represent people who are guilty, how they file long motions they know are unlikely to be successful, how they can patiently keep secrets that they'd otherwise love to be able to share. Harder was nearly twenty years into his legal career when he was first approach..

For if a person shifts their caution to their own reasoned choices and the acts of those choices, they will at the same time gain the will to avoid, but if they shift their caution away from their own reasoned choices to things not under their control, seeking to avoid what is controlled by others, they will then be agitated, fearful, and unstable." --EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 2.1.12"

The image of the Zen philosopher is the monk up in the green, quiet hills, or in a beautiful temple on some rocky cliff. The Stoics are the antithesis of this idea. Instead, they are the man in the marketplace, the senator in the Forum, the brave wife waiting for her soldier to return from battle, the sculptor busy in her studio. Still, the Stoic is equally at peace.
