Ryan Holiday: 我认为哲学常常很无聊，教授们没有让哲学变得平易近人和可操作。古代的哲学家们，比如苏格拉底、穆索尼乌斯·鲁弗斯和爱比克泰德，不仅是优秀的思想家，还能够吸引听众，具有很强的说服力。为了吸引那些通常对哲学不感兴趣的人，需要付出很多努力，创造一个引人注目的品牌和形象。仅仅有实力是不够的，还需要懂得如何吸引人，特别是当你对自己的实力感到自豪时。 Vanessa Van Edwards: 人们渴望变得坚忍，但他们误解了坚忍的含义，认为必须在身体和内心上控制自己的情绪。最好的领导者不是难以捉摸的，而是有目的性的。有目的地选择你的线索是非常强大的，但这并不意味着沉默不语。难以捉摸的人会让我感到非常紧张，因为我倾向于将中性的线索误解为负面的。我之所以学习线索，是因为我误解了中性甚至积极的线索，将其视为负面的。如果你不带着热情分享你的想法，人们就不会相信它。当我听到别人告诉我一些事情，但没有看到热情时，我会对他们或对我自己感到怀疑。我们必须学会控制我们的线索。
