life with your idea

If you look closely at the values, lessons, and ideals that are currently taught by many today, you can see that these teachings are not new nor original. And “I firmly believe that all spiritual, philosophical, social ideals and ideas from the past and were only restored and remodeled to adapt to the modern day. E ‘in this spirit that I wish to express my gratitude for this letter of thanks to one of the fathers of the values most of us in today’s meeting, the Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger.
Cheap Seneca
Ancient philosophy taught you during the time proved to be of interest to modern wisdom. For my part, have been moved by your teachings and tried to live by the values you have written on many a series of tests and your letters. This letter is to thank for that.
One of my favorites is when you wrote “unfortunate, whose appetite is tempted by the expensive food,” referring to the notion that true wealth should never be measured by simple possession, but have time and opportunity to do what you want, make a difference and take control of your life. It is a philosophy that was adopted by the author Tim Ferris (another of the people I hold in high esteem and follow-up) in his book the 4 hour Workweek. Realize the truth in this concept is somehow influenced my approach to what is important in my life and how I manage my time.
I find it equally enjoyable your idea that happiness and contentment does not live in extravagance or in an attempt to accumulate as many material goods, but rather resides in Temperance, experience and enlightenment through education. I think that is certainly mounting, perhaps even more in the world we live in today, where people seem to equate success with more than anything that can be purchased. Live my life with your idea has certainly made me more content.
There are many formulas for happiness, success and life is taught today, in fact, seem all the branches of old lessons. I think this shows that we can not take the ancient wisdom like yours for granted. Furthermore, if one has never been to extend the appreciation of the concepts that govern our lives now, we must give our “thank you” to you to come with much.
To accept my thank you letter as a token of my gratitude for all that edifying lessons were impressed upon me that have a positive influence on my life and to prove my theory that much of what we know now, we are able to follow all the way back to ancient history.
