斯多葛主义的两个最重要的原则。书里的排序和我下面的排序是颠倒的。
无论如何，这两个简单的原则让我窥见了幸福的秘密。

斯多葛主义的第一原则是：

一些事情我们能控制，另一些事情我们不能控制。只有正视这个基本原则，并学会区分什么你能控制，什么你不能控制，才可能保持淡然和宁静。

There are things up to us and things not up to us.

There is only one road to happiness – let this rule be at hand morning, noon, and night: stay detached from things that are not up to you.
— Epictetus

Not being able to govern events, I govern myself, and if they will not adapt to me, I adapt to them.

— Montaigne

斯多葛主义的第二个原则是：
伤害我们的并非事情本身，而是我们对事情的看法。

Men are disturbed not by the things that happen but by their opinions about those things. — Epictetus

If any external thing causes you distress, it is not the thing itself that troubles you, but your own judgment about it. And this you have the power to eliminate now.

— Marcus Aurelius
