10 best ideas from "Enchiridion" by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus:

1. Is this something that is, or is not, in my control? And if it's not one of the things that you control, be ready with the reaction, "Then it's none of my concern."

2. An ignorant person is inclined to blame others for his own misfortune. To blame oneself is proof of progress. But the wise man never has to blame another or himself.

3. For every challenge, remember the resources you have within you to cope with it. ... In time, you will grow to be confident that there is not a single impression that you will not have the moral means to tolerate.

4. If you are ever tempted to look for outside approval, realize that you have compromised your integrity.

5. Why aren't you ashamed that you have made your mind vulnerable to anyone who happens to criticize you, so that it automatically becomes confused and upset?

6. If you learn that someone is speaking ill of you, don't try to defend yourself against the rumors; respond instead with, "Yes, and he doesn't know the half of it, because he could have said more."

7. Counter temptation by remembering how much better will be the knowledge that you resisted.

8. If you decide to do something, don't shrink from being seen doing it, even if the majority of people disapprove. If you're wrong to do it, then you should shrink from doing it altogether; but if you're right, then why worry how people will judge you?

9. As you are careful when you walk not to step on a nail or turn your ankle, so you should take care not to do any injury to your character at the same time.

10. How long will you wait before you demand the best of yourself, and trust reason to determine what is best?
