Join 📚 Rasul's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Rasul's read, .
Hence any one
who is to listen intelligently to lectures about what is noble and just,
and generally, about the subjects of political science must have been brought
up in good habits. For the fact is the starting-point, and if this is sufficiently
plain to him, he will not at the start need the reason as well; and the
man who has been well brought up has or can easily get startingpoints.
Nicomachean Ethics | Book 1
Aristotle
Comfort reduces your future happiness. You get upset that your meal doesn’t come as ordered, or angry at your phone for having an imperfect connection. You lose appreciation. You forget the perspective of how bad things could be. Practice being uncomfortable, even in small ways. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Skip eating for a day, or sugar for a month. Go light-weight camping for a week. Befriend discomfort so that you’ll never fear it.
Quit a harmless habit for a month, just to prove you can.
