| 0:12.6 | it's become apparent that in order to achieve anything, you must be able to temper your desires |
| 0:16.9 | and direct your efforts. The Stoics believed this 2,000 years ago, and between then and |
| 0:22.0 | now there's been a plethora of historical examples which can teach us how to build and |
