George Ravlin: 我坚信每天清晨都应该给自己设定积极的基调。我每天早上醒来都会给自己两个选择：快乐或非常快乐。这并非易事，但它提醒我，我有能力掌控自己一天的情绪和心态，无论面临怎样的挑战。这种简单的选择，能帮助我积极面对生活中的各种困难，例如来自他人的误解、批评，以及生活中的各种不便。我会努力保持积极乐观的心态，即使遇到挫折和不公平，也不会轻易放弃对自身情绪的掌控。 Ryan Holiday: 我完全赞同George的观点。我们每天都面临着各种挑战和诱惑，而我们对这些挑战和诱惑的反应，很大程度上取决于我们自身的训练和性格养成。正如古罗马皇帝马可·奥勒留所说，‘性格即命运’。我们是谁，我们做了什么，这些都决定了我们的未来。我们不能指望通过简单的改变就能扭转乾坤，例如指望一个人的当选就能改变现状，或者指望环境的改变就能改变一个人。我们必须通过持续的自我训练，培养良好的习惯和坚定的意志，才能掌控自己的情绪，避免被外界的干扰所左右。我们应该不断提升自我，而不是依赖于运气或环境。只有这样，我们才能在面对未来的挑战时，保持冷静和清醒的头脑，做出正确的选择，最终掌控自己的命运。 supporting_evidences Ryan Holiday: 'You're a product of your training. ... A mind that isn't in control of itself, that doesn't understand its power to regulate itself, will be jerked around by external events and unquestioned impulses. ... We're a product of our training. We're a product of the standards we hold ourselves to. We're a product of our character.'
