No One Can Trigger You There are things that just set you off. There are things that happened to you that you prefer not to think about. There are the things you asked repeatedly for someone to stop. There are the things that decent people are not supposed to do and say. And yet they happen anyway. So you get upset. You get triggered. Although not ideal, it is at least understandable. We should be patient with other people when they are triggered, we should be patient with ourselves when we are (as Marcus said, what matters when you fall or fail is to revert back to the training that you know and understand that you’re a human being). The problem is this extra thing we’ve started doing these days: Blaming other people for triggering us. Expecting the world to label every potential frustrating thought or idea with a trigger warning. That’s not reasonable, right, or fair. The Stoics knew that other people can’t trigger us. We can only allow ourselves to be triggered. As Epictetus said, we are complicit in the offenses we take. Our temper is ours to lose—no one can take it from us and certainly no one can make us lose it. We have the power. We’ll have far more luck and happiness in this life if we spend our time strengthening it than we ever will trying to soften the world. One is a form of protection that’s up to us, the other is a fantasy and a projection. Which will you choose?

1-Sentence-Summary: Everybody Matters identifies the best way to become successful in business, help your team members trust you, and enable people to reach their full potential by showing the power of taking better care of your employees as if they were family.
Read in: 4 minutes
Favorite quote from the author:
A few years ago I worked for a company that I thought cared about its employees. But over time, I kept hearing stories from coworkers and having my own experiences that taught me otherwise.
They pretended to care about us, but they only cared about money. One of the executives even said that he was a greedy man in response to one of my coworker’s concerns in a meeting. It was a terrible culture, nobody knew where it was going, and the turnover rate was astronomical.
I don’t have to deal with all of that anymore, thankfully. But I did learn a lot about how not to run a business from them. That’s why I was so excited when I read Bob Chapman’s Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family because it only reinforced these important lessons for me.
In it, you too will learn that the true secret to business success is putting your employees, and their trust and happiness, above your profits.
Here are 3 of the greatest tips for success I got out of this one:

That old company I used to work for was profitable, at least most of the time. It did care about the vital factors of profits and expenditures. But it missed out on an opportunity to become so much more, if only it’s leaders would have actually cared about any of us.
The next question to ask yourself then is what does it take to create a caring environment at the office?
First, you need to change your understanding of leadership. Go beyond the traditional and think of it more as a stewardship. You must do all you can to make sure that your employees know that you have a genuine concern for their well-being.
That doesn’t just mean asking about their productivity. When you do that, you’re just showing that your only concern is for the company and not for their lives. Instead, you need to talk with them, get to know them, and express how much they mean to you and to the company.
Your efforts to express gratitude for them will help them feel secure and fulfilled, but also make them healthier. In one poll, information from workers in America identified that people that said they loved their job spent 62% less on healthcare!
So make sure to ask at least whether or not they feel secure at work. And also check on how fulfilled they feel in their job. As you think about it yourself, it might open your eyes to just how much they rely on you for their own happiness.
Another common occurrence at my old job was to hear about executive decisions that were made without any employee input. The mid-level managers weren’t even paid more for their leadership tasks! And the executives wouldn’t budge on this and many other choices they made.
I didn’t feel very free at work, and I knew that my employer didn’t trust me, which hurt.
I understand now how hard it can be to let your employees make decisions on their own. But it doesn’t have to be so intimidating if you create an atmosphere of responsible freedom. This method involves deliberately crafting the workplace to help your people reach their full potential.
One company, for example, uses what they refer to as the “just enough” strategy. In it, they clearly define what it means to win, and then let team members take the reigns to make decisions to get there.
If you run a business that focuses on customer’s experience, you might define winning as getting a high score on a customer satisfaction survey. Then, you’d give your employees free rein to do what they feel is best to make it happen.
When they can use their strengths and ideas, people feel empowered and are more productive. And most of all, it helps them feel that you trust them.
If you’ve ever worked for a company that didn’t know where it wanted to go, you know how hard it can be to stay motivated. And if that company happens to be yours, then fix this by visioning.
This involves thinking about where you want to go and the path that will take you there. To discover these things, ask yourself and your team the right questions. Start with thinking about where you’d like to be in a few years, then consider why you want to go there.
The question of why is a really important one to get just right. It will help you identify a purpose for your company, which will help you see how to better the lives of your employees. Another phrase for this is cultural visioning.
Design Group is one company that tried this out with great success. They first decided to put their existing employees first rather than trying to expand. Their focus turned toward improving the work environment.
After figuring this out, however, it was time to look to the future. Seeing that they were losing momentum, they adopted the vision of doubling in size within five years. Their efforts and focus on people paid off, and they accomplished this goal in just three years!
As one who has worked for a company with a highly dysfunctional management system, this book was a huge relief. Everybody Matters teaches the future of business and I think every leader in every company needs to read it. The advice it contains is as inspiring as it is practical and will transform the work life of everyone who reads it!

When we encounter a fashion, a film or some other cultural artifact that the critical establishment has celebrated, it’s easy to not understand it.
Taste, after all, is unevenly distributed.
But you don’t have to like something to understand why someone else thought it was important.
To move the culture forward, we need to have the empathy to imagine what others are seeing, liking and talking about.
Once you get the joke, you don’t have to laugh at it, but it definitely makes it easier for you to tell the next one.

THE SEVEN REALITIES
The only real Existence is that of the one and the only God, who is the Self in every one.The only real Love is the love for God.The only real Sacrifice is that which knows no reservations.The only real Renunciation is the giving up of all selfish thoughts and desires even in the midst of wordly duties.The only real Knowledge is the understanding that God is the inner dweller in all, irrespective of whether they are good or bad.The only real Control is the turning away of the senses from the objects of low desires.The only real Surrender is that in which the individual accepts the will of God with complete resignation.

लोग बदल नहीं सकते, लेकिन आप इतिहास का एक निर्विवाद तथ्य हो सकते हैं: लोग हमेशा से लोग रहे हैं। वे परिवर्तन नहीं करते। वे स्वार्थी, अज्ञानी, बेईमान और कमजोर बने रहते हैं। यह रोम में सही था और यह इन सभी हजारों वर्षों के बाद सच है। आप उनसे तब तक बात कर सकते हैं जब तक कि आप चेहरे के नीले नहीं होते, मार्कस ऑरेलियस ने देखा, आप उन्हें अपने तरीके की त्रुटियों को दिखाने की कोशिश कर सकते हैं, लेकिन यह कोई बात नहीं है। वे बस इसे करते रहेंगे तो उसका क्या मतलब हुआ? क्या हम हार मान लेते हैं? नहीं, हम सिर्फ अपना ध्यान बदलते हैं। लोग शायद बदल न सकें, लेकिन हम कर सकते हैं। आप सोशल मीडिया पर अपने माता-पिता या अपने बॉस या उन बुरे टिप्पणीकारों के माध्यम से प्राप्त करने में सक्षम नहीं हो सकते हैं, लेकिन आप निश्चित रूप से खुद के माध्यम से प्राप्त कर सकते हैं। हो सकता है कि आप अपने पड़ोसियों को कूड़ा उठाने, या लेटने या आसपास लेटने से रोकने में सक्षम न हों, लेकिन आप उन आदतों को खुद ही तोड़ सकते हैं। मानव जाति कालातीत, स्पष्ट रूप से अटूट, व्यर्थता से ग्रसित है। लेकिन आप इंसानियत नहीं हैं। आप भीड़ नहीं हैं, आप “लोग” नहीं हैं। आप आप हैं। आप एक व्यक्ति हैं जिस पर आपका पूरा नियंत्रण है। आप पैटर्न को तोड़ सकते हैं। आप कदम बढ़ा सकते हैं, काम पर लग सकते हैं, नई आदतें बना सकते हैं। तो इसे करो। आज। अभी। “लाल” हो कि एग्रीपिनस के बारे में बात की। वह जो बाहर खड़ा है। वह जो अलग हो। जो बदल सकता है।

A Stoic Response to Beauty “To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower; hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour.” — William Blake, ‘Auguries of Innocence’ The Stoics aren’t exactly famous for their ideas about beauty, and it is easy to understand why. Being champions of reason (all hail), the Stoics would seem to have little interest in a discipline as subjective and emotionally charged as aesthetics. Contrary to popular belief, however, the Stoics did hold well-formed ideas about beauty, even going so far as to regard everything that is good as beautiful. While the bulk of Stoic material about beauty has been lost to the dustbin of history, much of it can be inferred through their writings about ethics. In several Stoic-inspired texts, aesthetic language is often deployed to make a point, particularly in the heat of a moral argument. To kalon, for example, frequently crops up in the writings of Aristotle and Cicero, a Greek term which roughly translates to beautiful, honorable and noble. Nevertheless, the most explicit Stoic definition of beauty comes from the fragmentary works of Chrysippus, the third school of the Stoa, who defined it as “a summetria of parts with each other and with a whole.” As Galen, a physician to Marcus Aurelius, records: “Chrysippus… holds beauty does not consist in the elements of the body (in themselves) but in the harmonious proportion of the parts. The proportion of one finger to another, of all fingers to the rest of the hand, of the rest of the hand to the wrist, and of these to the forearm, and of the forearm to the whole arm, and in short, everything to everything else.” (De Placitis Hippocratis et Platonis, V.448)
