He would take out one of the cards, take the top one off the stack, and hand it to the person.

And the card said, your story has touched my heart.

What are the core ideas that have helped me?

Well, luckily I got at a very early age the idea that the safest way to try and get what you want is to try and deserve what you want.

You want to deliver to the world what you would buy if you were on the other end.

It's not something you do just to advance in life.

There's a corollary to that proposition, which is very important.

It means that you're hooked for lifetime learning.

And without lifetime learning, you people are not going to do very well.

You are not going to get very far in life based on what you already know.

You're going to advance in life by what you're going to learn after you leave here.

If you take Berkshire Hathaway, which is certainly one of the best regarded corporations in the world, and it may have the best long-term investment record in the entire history of civilization, the skill that got Berkshire through one decade would not have sufficed to get it through the next decade with the achievements made.

Without Warren Buffett being a learning machine, a continuous learning machine, the record would have been absolutely impossible.

I constantly see people rise in life who were not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines.

They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up.

And boy, does that habit help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.

Civilization can progress only when it invents the method of invention.

You can progress only when you learn the method of learning.

I came to law school having learned the method of learning.

And nothing has served me better in my long life than continuous learning.

You have to learn these things in such a way that they're in a mental latticework in your head and you automatically use them for the rest of your life.

If you do that, I solemnly promise you that one day you'll be walking down the street and you'll look to your right and left and you'll think, my heavenly days, I'm now one of the few most competent people of my whole age cohort.

Generally speaking, envy, resentment, revenge, and self-pity are disastrous modes of thoughts.

And paranoia is one of the very hardest things to reverse.

I have a friend who carried a big stack of linen cards about this thick.

And when somebody would make a comment that reflected self-pity, he would take out one of the cards, take the top one off the stack and hand it to the person.

Never have I heard of anyone with as many misfortunes as you.

But I suggest that every time you find you're drifting into self-pity, I don't care what the cause, your child could be dying of cancer.

Self-pity is not going to improve the situation.

And some people recover and others don't.

And there I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best.

He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well.

Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something.

And that your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion. www.circlelineartschool.com
