Audiobook: Death in the Clouds, Agatha Christie, Read by Hugh Fraser 今天听完了这个,感觉听了这么多个Poirot的故事以后,开始觉得有点大同小异了。 。

Discourses, Epictetus, Book I-1 Concerning what is in our power, and what is not (准备从头再看一遍)

  • just like the first paragraph in Enchiridion, he introduces the sphere of control and the importance of the usage of impression
  • Starting We are gifted with the ability of a reasoning which makes us capable of evaluating ourself evaluating the reason which is different For example grammar or music And as they don’t have the ability to analyse themselves
  • and since we are given this gift of reasoning we need to use it correctly
  • followed by some examples of how to use it correctly: to understand what is in our control and what is not
  • and more examples, such the person being exiled (Agrippinus) taking his lunch because it was lunchtime

“I must die. But must I die bawling? I must be put in chains, but moaning and groaning too?” “I have o die. If it is now, well then I die now; if later, then now I will take my lunch, since the hour for lunch has arrived - and dying I will tend to later.”
