YOU CAN DO  IT

“If you find    something   very    difficult   to  achieve yourself,   don’t   imagine it  impossible—for

anything    possible    and proper  for another person  can be  achieved    as  easily  by  you.”

—MARCUS AURELIUS,   MEDITATIONS,    6.19

here are two kinds of people in this world. The first looks at others who have accomplished things
and thinks: Why them? Why not me? The other looks at those same people and thinks: If they can do
it, why can’t I?
One is zero-sum and jealous (if you win, I lose). The other is non-zero-sum (there’s plenty to go
around) and sees the success of others as an inspiration. Which attitude will propel you onward and
upward? Which will drive you to bitterness and despair?
Who will you be?
