1
The Stoicism This is a film about Stoicism and why you need more of it in your life.
2
Because, as people seldom tell you, but we will quietly.
3
Stoicism was a philosophy that flourished for 480 years in ancient Greece
4
and Rome and was popular with everyone from slaves to the aristocracy.
5
Because, unlike so much philosophy, it was helpful.
6
Helpful when we panic, want to give up, despair and rage at existence.
7
We still honour this philosophy whenever we think of someone as brave and without perhaps quite knowing why, call them stoic.
8
There are two great philosophers of stoicism.
9
The first is the Roman writer and tutor to Nero, Seneca.
10
He lived between AD 4 and AD 65.
11
That's right, tutor to Nero, the infamous dictator who slept with his own mother, raped young boys and just because he felt like it, asked his old tutor, Seneca,
12
to commit suicide in front of his own family.
13
And our other guide to Stoicism is the kind and magnanimous Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, AD 121-180, who was forced to spend most of his reign on the edges of the empire,
14
fighting off invincible Germanic hordes, but found time to write one of the greatest works of philosophy, the Meditations, in his tent at night.
15
There are two problems Stoicism can help us with in particular.
16
The first is anxiety.
17
When you're feeling anxious about something, most people are maddening.
18
They believe it's their duty to cheer you up.
19
However intelligent they might otherwise be, they say things like it'll be okay, don't worry, even cheer up.
20
The Stoics were appalled.
21
They hated any kind of consolation that aims to give the listener hope.
22
Hope is the opium of the emotions
23
and must be stamped out conclusively for a person to stand any chance of inner peace.
24
Because hope only lifts you up higher for the eventual fall.
25
The Stoics advise us to take a different path.
26
To be calm, one has to tell oneself something very dark.
27
It will be terrible.
28
I might have to go to prison.
29
The lump really could be malign.
30
I probably will be fired and humiliated, my friends almost certainly will succeed.
31
But a huge, consoling stoic but.
32
One must keep in mind that one will, nevertheless, be okay.
33
Okay, because in the end, as Marcus Aurelius said, we are each of us stronger than we think.
34
Prison won't be fun, nor we're losing one's job or being made a laughing stock, but one will get through it.
35
Stoicism emboldens us against the worst fate can throw at us.
36
And if you really, really can't take it, suicide is always an option.
37
The Stoics mentioned this repeatedly.
38
Here is Seneca.
39
Can you no longer see a road to freedom?
40
It's right in front of you.
41
You need only turn over your wrists.
42
To build up an impression of one's own resilience, the Stoics suggested one regularly rehearse worst-case scenarios.
43
For example, twice a year, one should take off one's smart clothes, into some dirty rags, sleep on a rug in the kitchen floor
44
and eat only stale bread and rainwater from an animal's bowl.
45
And thereby, you'll make an amazing discovery.
46
As Marcus Aurelius put it, almost nothing material is needed for a happy life for he who has understood existence.
47
Another subject of interest to the Stoics was anger.
48
Romans were a bad tempered lot.
49
The Stoics wanted to calm them down, but they did so by an unusual route, by intellectual argument.
50
They propose that getting angry isn't something you do by nature
51
because you have a Latin temper or are somehow inherently hot blooded.
52
It's the result of being stupid, of having the wrong ideas about life.
53
Anger stems when misplaced hope smashes into unforeseen reality.
54
We don't shout every time something bad happens to us, only when it's bad and unexpected.
55
For example, you never shout just because it started raining, even though rain can be horrible, because you've learnt to expect rain.
56
The same should apply to everything.
57
Don't only expect rain, expect betrayal, infamy, sadism, theft, humiliation, lust, greed, spite.
58
One will stop being so angry when one learns the true facts of the misery of life.
59
The wise person should aim to reach a state where simply nothing could suddenly disturb their peace of mind.
60
Every tragedy should already be priced in.
61
We're going to leave you with the most beautiful remark that Seneca made, just as Nero's guards were grabbing him
62
and shoving him into a bathroom where he was meant to take a sharp knife and kill himself.
63
His wife, Polina, and two children were panicking, weeping, clinging to his cloaks.
64
But Seneca turned to them, pulled a weary smile at them, and simply said, what need is there to weep over parts of life?
65
The whole of it calls for tears.
66
We have much to learn from the Stoics.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
