Ryan Holiday: 我认为写作《Right Thing Right Now》这本书让我提升了自我，也让我在与海军学院的事件中更好地实践了书中的理念。我们终其一生追求安全感、权力和自由，但却很少真正利用这些去勇敢地做正确的事。塞涅卡拥有权力，但他没有阻止尼禄；西塞罗眼睁睁看着罗马陷入内战却袖手旁观。哥伦比亚大学拥有巨额捐款，却在面临威胁时轻易妥协。我们害怕承担职业风险，害怕得罪人，总想着等到更安全的时候再行动，但其实永远没有一个完美的时机。勇气就在于克服恐惧，即使害怕也要去做。如果不现在勇敢，那还要等到什么时候？我们追求财富、名誉和地位是为了什么？如果不是为了坚持原则，为了有所作为，那又有什么意义呢？我并非完美无缺，也曾因为害怕而推迟行动，但这些决定让我后悔莫及。海军学院事件让我明白，不沉默，勇敢地表达自己的观点是多么重要。写作《每日斯多葛》并非只为了读者，更是为了提升自己，践行斯多葛哲学。
