Hey Owen, great video. Since you got 8 offers, it would be interesting to know which one you took or what field its in? Also, what were your criteria for choosing between them?
I think for me specifically I started becoming more resilient and "stoic" after having binge watched a few UFC fights and naturally whenever I would be stuck I would think back to moments where a fighter might have been losing in one round or fight, only to turn it around in the next and achieve victory. It's a powerful reminder that setbacks, whether macro or micro don't define the outcome. Partaking in sports in general I think is just a good way to build this mindset.
One of my favourite quotes is from Marcus Aurelius and how he had a slave who whispered in his ear "Youre just a man" when Aurelius was succeeding in something. Could apply this to failures. It doesnt matter keep on moving.
My favourite quote from this year "when you're winning, you're not as good as you think you are. when you're losing, you're not as bad as you think you are". Huge. ruclips.net/user/shortsTl3R6PoJmz0

Stoicism is literally same as starting every DA interview with a "Fuck it, we ball"
exactly what I need!
