Hello friends, I am often asked on social media: "I want to contribute to a cooler Indonesia in 2045.
Where should I start?" Maybe one of my suggestions is to study public policy.
Well, understanding the policy analysis allows us to actualize solutions for various problems,
especially the structural ones. Not only in government but also in the business and non-profit world.
Former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong,
and journalist Rachel Maddow, all of them are graduates of public policy majors.
SGPP Indonesia is the first Public Policy school in Indonesia with English as the language of instruction,
and is currently accepting student admissions for the latest batch. For details about the program and how to register,
or simply to consult about your future career plans, contact SGPP Indonesia via the link in the description.
Now back to the show. Stoicism is a philosophy that teaches us how to live fully happy lives.
This concept is quite old, and it was developed in Athens by a man named Zeno,
who came from Citium, or what is now known as Cyprus. It was roughly in the early third century BC, and this was carried on:
by a former slave named Epictetus, in Roman times. After that by Seneca, a politician.
Following that was Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor. All of this occurred during the first millennium.
"How will the world speak my name in years to come?" "Will I be known as the philosopher? The warrior? The tyrant?"
"Or will I be the emperor who gave Rome back her true self?" Some things are under our control, while others are not.
There are several practices that can be considered for how to become stoic, wise, or philosophers
in search of true happiness. The first is how we can examine our life's impressions.
That is, of course, with a note that we must understand what we can control and what we cannot control.
The more we understand what limits we have control over, the more we can accept what happens to us.
The second is the impermanent of things. To put it simply: everything is temporary.
So, if something happens to us, the more we realize it is temporary,
the more we should be able to become stoic. Everything in this world isn't everlasting indeed.
So people know from their childhood that the world isn't eternal. Because you can see your parents' hairs slowly turning white,
your grandmother and grandfather are slowly getting weaker, the day becomes night, the sun rises and sets.
The third is, of course, reserve close. Often when we want to plan to do something,
we have to plan for the worst; we have to plan for things that are worse than what we anticipated.
So that if we make a mistake later, we can anticipate things that are beyond reasonable limits
or that we did not plan for. Sadam: where are you going? Are you going for camping?
Sherina: Isn't there nothing wrong with considering all possibilities? Of course the fourth one is "virtue, here, and now"
The point is, there is nothing we do not have the moral capacity to tolerate.
It's like saying there's nothing we can't do. The more we think like that, the more we do positive thinking.
The closer we get to stoicism, Living in accordance with natural laws
The fifth is rest. Take a deep breath when you are stressed,
if the things we are experiencing are really out of control or even beyond normal limits.
Sometimes we need to take a break and take a deep breath. Just do it.
And that will help us in becoming more stoic. The sixth is what is often called otherize.
Otherize is the concept of how we can feel what other people feel and being able to feel it ourselves.
We must be able to imagine that what other people do could also happen to us.
It is more than just sympathy or empathy. But we must also be able to imagine that if the person next to us slips;
we must be able to imagine that this can happen to us as well, so that we can be more mentally prepared,
and thus more stoic. Modesty and the Importance of Setting a Good Example
The seventh is, if I may say so, don't talk too much. Speak in a straightforward manner.
But whatever we articulate, it is in a pleasing or favorable manner.
Eighth, surround yourself with cool people. If we want to be cool, we should surround ourselves with cool people.
In fact, if we want to be stoic, we should surround ourselves with people who we believe are more stoic.
Of course, the more we surround ourselves with people who are not stoic, philosophic, or wise,
the less likely we are to become stoic. And if we are teased or something,
we should get used to respond it with humor. Because humor is medicine for many things.
If we are bullied, teased, compromised, manipulated, or otherwise; there is no need to be emotional.
We simply respond with humor as if this is a normal part of our lives, and the more we can accommodate things with humor,
the more stoic we can become. Because in the end we have to believe in the power of logic
and moral strength. That will lead people to the truth.
But because we're in this transitional era there are experiments like this,
yeah it's okay, don't take it by heart. Don't talk about yourself too much, and don't brag.
Learn to listen when you talk to others; the more the person you're conversing with speaks more than you, the better.
Because the power of listening is much bigger than the power of speaking or talking.
Regarding Judging Yourself and Others And don't pass judgment when we're talking.
If we talk to anyone, don't be predisposed to a priori judgment.
The more priori we are with that judgment, the more blurred we are,
and the more difficult it is for us to communicate effectively. Well, the last thing is to reflect upon your day. This is the 12th.
So, when we go about our daily activities, just record the pluses and minuses, the ups and downs.
And, of course, the more notes we can take, the more we can reflect on what we did previously.
These are some tips; there are 12 exercises that are recommended for all of us to do in order
to reach the culmination or pinnacle of stoicism. "I find I'm so excited,
I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel,
a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain."
