Stoic Habits To Help You Live And Be Better | Ryan Holiday Speaks To The U.S. Naval Academy

[@GreatQuotes-n1g]

When I was a child, my dad once promised he would come to my first piano recital, even though he had to work long night shifts to make ends meet. That day, it poured rain, and I was almost certain he wouldn’t make it on time. As the performance was about to start, the auditorium doors opened, and there he was, soaking wet but smiling. After the recital, he told me, “Keeping a promise matters more than anything, even if no one sees or praises you for it.” That lesson, much like the teachings of Stoic philosophy, has stayed with me throughout my life, reminding me that doing the right thing is the greatest reward of all

The ultimate estoic is the one giving a speech to a public coughing this bad without showing any kind of unease

[@marlonmendez5176]

I really hope you upload another version of this, because the talk is great but the coughing is so distracting.

[@StoicQuotes6161]

It's always easier said than done! I'm sure there are many people who are having difficulty putting these values ​​into practice! After all, the difficulty is always what makes us strong. Good luck to everyone!

[@ElLotdog]

What the heck is up with all the coughing???

[@Persistence_run_444]

Probably post hell week-water and killed immune systems.

[@TheCarty1986]

Wish I didn't read this.... now it's all I hear 😂

[@larrybilinski9350]

I noticed as well...

[@kmarshirley]

I was looking for this comment. Someone was either dying or trying to mess up his talk lol.

[@travisthornton1792]

I used to be one of those mids 20+ years ago. We called it the “plebe hack” and everybody gets it.

[@jonfibonacci]

For those wondering about the coughing, its because 1) They might have just gone through gas training, and/or 2) when people from different places come together, many people get sick because we cross-contaminate each other with our different germs. Stress, fatigue, and dehydration can also cause sickness (coughing.)

[@adeb4761]

😂

[@YaBoiDaveyG]

Gas training? Did they go thru a tear gas chamber while entering? It doesn’t last that long.

[@jonfibonacci]

@ You can cough for a long time afterwards. I would know, and I commented because I’ve done it.

[@YaBoiDaveyG]

@ : likewise. Back in basic. I suppose you’re right, we did have some recruits feeling the burn for a bit.

[@jonfibonacci]

@@YaBoiDaveyG Its my guess. I wasn't there and didn't ask ha

[@aaronwimberleymbamsf5776]

Great meditation to start the day=] Happy veterans day everyone!!:!! Grateful for my grandfather George Wimberley's purple heart awarded to him for his paratrooper service in Northern Africa and Italy during WWII. I became an officer and member of our local VFW Auxiliary chapter and leadership team to honor his service and his legacy. He instilled a doubly infinite pure fighting spirit in me with his stories with me when I was a tike- his most intense story burned into my memory was when he was in the infirmary, he sees his brothers and sisters in arms pass that a fire lit in his soul and he said to himself "not me- I will do anything and everything to make it out of this personal hell for myself and my family- "not me, not today". He "held the line" so that I could exist today.

[@stevenwilcox188]

what a talk 💯💯🔥thankyou Ryan, You've helped me so much over the years. A true asset to the world ❤️

[@likesgood]

I gain so much, and am so grateful when you share these talks. Timing impacts me and your words don't change. I am grateful for the depth and breadth and being able to be in this room. I am grateful for the types of talks you say yes to. Thanks.

[@djamz4479]

Great discussion. Thank you!

Excellent work, Mr. Holiday. Staying late at work and you’ve helped immensely!

[@TheStoicBeacon-TGG]

Loved this perspective! How about starting a Q&A series on practical Stoicism?

[@gameboardgames]

What's up with all the coughing, was a new strain of covid outbreaking or something? Besides that, great talk!

another great video, if this makes you tick read 'Magnetic Aura' it will help you a lot

[@stephboogie00]

Someone is really coughing like crazy!! What’s going on??!!

[@Hush_Fairwind]

Considering that Ryan said at the beginning: "You can coff freely as well", I suppose he knows that something happened and that they needed to coff a lot. Can't say why, but since he stated it, I suppose the crowd wasn't trolling or disirspecting him, just something happened and they couldn't help it. *EDIT:* anyway, shame on me, why are we focusing on the coffing and not on what Ryan said?

[@StoicHealing]

Such a powerful reminder about what true strength looks like. Justice, courage, wisdom, and self-discipline are not just ancient virtues but a timeless guide for living a life of integrity and purpose. Marcus Aurelius’s life serves as a testament to how we can all rise above life’s pressures and focus on what truly matters. If you’re interested in diving deeper into Stoic philosophy and finding ways to apply these principles today, I’d love to share more insights on my channel. Let’s explore this journey together! 🌱 #StoicHealing

[@rogeriodavidnicholasrodrig4294]

I really enjoy the videos like this the style of the format the truth it just sounds so timeless

[@TheStoicBeacon-TGG]

I’m grateful for your insights and for introducing me to Buddhism. It’s been a truly eye-opening journey, and I’m learning so much. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

[@TheStoicBeacon-TGG]

It's wonderful to hear that Buddhism has been such an eye-opening journey for you! Stoicism, in many ways, also encourages mindfulness and self-reflection, which can complement what you're learning from Buddhism. How do you find the balance between the two philosophies in your daily life?

[@JS-uj3vm]

What is it with the coughing😂😂😂

[@guppygolden]

It’s bizarre.

[@thejainav]

​@@guppygoldenmaybe cough drops btw if anyone have cough for cold they should wear masks for God's sake.

[@gmt5664]

I high school, my classmates would cough thru Chapel just to be intentionally irritating. Perhaps that's why I think the coughing is intended to be disrespectful. Otherwise I would think people who dwell in disciple would not be so undisciplined.

[@isis334909]

The. Coughing was tuned out until I read the comments 😅😅

[@Bobbycatv2]

They trolled him coughing through the entire talk like that. Shame on them

[@thejainav]

They may be testing his Patience, it's good

[@LetnouBarron]

$75k biweekly changed my mindset and behavior, my goals, my family and I've to say this video has inspired me a lot!!!!❤️....

[@BritoCornelio]

I'm feeling really motivated. Could you share some details about the bi-weekly topic you brought up?

[@LetnouBarron]

Yeah sounds impossible, yet with Maria Luisa clare, I've come to the conclusion that financially anything is possible. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend and a whooping $320k in savings already, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in debt then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Maria Luisa. Clare is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!

[@coolman123cool12]

Wow 😱 I know her too! Miss Maria Luisa Clareis a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.

[@coolman123cool12]

I got started with a miserly $1500. The results have been mind blowing I must say TBH!!

That coughing is craaaazy. I hope you took your vitamin C that day 😂😂

[@brunotheartist]

Nice of him to let people smoke weed during his lecture 😍😂☘️🔥💨

[@TomJerry-uh1cw]

some people in the audience really hold to the 'you can cough' thing really ruined the video

[@sergeantbigmac]

What in the ever loving F is with the coughing?! That many people in a room there is bound to be a cough here and there, but this is sick-ward-at-a-hospital-during-flu-season level of hacking and heaving.

[@thejainav]

They maybe testing the patience of the modern stoic, i think he also knows that man.

[@RheaLady]

Help me understand the coughing. Is everyone sick? Is this a cultural situation that is normal in that environment? I'm trying to understand.

I just wanna jump in to mention the coughing - Antonine Plague vibes anyone?

[@marcelo_pendragon]

I hope stoicism helps you deal with Trump big victory, Ryan.

[@gregdawson4200]

I am positive that I saw a Ryan video titled “Stop Doing these 5 things” where he said not to be judgmental and not to have an opinion about everything. He sure seems to be judgmental and seems to hold strong opinions about Trump. Wondering how lionizing the Vindman bros and championing John McCain as a hero (which requires unquestioningly accepting the MSM narrative) fits in with the stoic philosophy? Pretty sure the audience coughing is their “non-stoic” reaction to the attack on their President. Ryan might want to do a little independent research on the cause of the USS Forrestal catastrophe.

[@thearcelor]

[@nestor-martinez]

Was there a lot of smoke in that auditorium or something...? Tf

[@CuriousApollo]

Coughing too much. Can’t listen. Leave the room person!

[@mazerunner4528]

It sounds like everyone in the crowd took the vaccine 😂😂

[@edvolve]

When you gather this many people together, is it really that level of background coughing that takes place always? This seems insane. Are they just coughing to throw static on purpose? I can’t even listen to what it is that he is saying. Where in the world is this sick population gathering?

[@MikeB_2112]

Love Ryan and his lectures but this is just too over-the-top with the coughing. It’s beyond ridiculous.

[@SalomonEspinosa70]

Hey Ryan, since you started to express your left-leaning poltical views in 2016, how is that stoicism helping you cope this week? We are doing great! Viva la Republicana de los Estados Unidos !

[@andreafonso321]

what a lack of respect for the other people , good example of selfishness

[@BlueController123]

Do they all have covid wtf is up with the coughing.

[@johnkaeden]

I’m reluctant to read your books or listen to your advice after the last email you sent out. I’m concerned that your message may be skewed toward liberalism. Stoicism should not be taking a strong stand, left or right politically. Your far left stance may interfere with your message. That got me thinking further. None of the most famous stoics set out to be famous. You seem to thrive on getting your name out there. The prices you’re asking for some of your products are exorbitant. There’s a leather bound book you’re selling for $110, and you charge an additional $10 for your autograph, like you’re some kind of celebrity. It seems like you learned all the right things to say so that you can stand on the shoulders of giants and con people into believing that you’re a stoic, so that you can rob them. Manipulating people for fame and wealth definitely goes against the tenets of stoicism

[@prithikamachi8168]

its hard to put into words, but the book Magnetic Aura from Talesio completely changed my life and it's not new age bs
