Life On A B-I7 -

Day 186

Remember that your ruling reason becomes unconquerable when it rallies and relies on itself, so that it won't do anything contrary to its own will, even if its position is irrational. How much more unconquerable if its judgements are careful and made rationally? Therefore, the mind freed from passions is an impenetrable fortress.
--Marcus Aurelius

Preparation for life means proper training. Training the mind to perform properly is of the utmost importance. Training the mind to not get angry, training the mind to avoid gossip, training the mind on all good habits is essential to being prepared.
