  • Stoicism as a student's philosophy serves as their own personal operating system. As I've said time and time again on this channel, systems produce results. And your philosophy is the most fundamental system of them all. By applying Stoic fundamentals, students can learn to improve their resilience, get better grades, and more readily achieve their goals regardless of the obstacles in their way.

      I agree to an extent but you also need to acknowledge that you cannot only blame the individual. Maybe this applies well to students, but you brought up political issues at the beginning and kind of trivialized systemic oppression and racism to a "get your shit together" attitude that blames the individual for their misery rather than a system that's specifically designed to keep the poor poor and make the rich richer. Yes there are exceptions but they shouldn't be exceptions. It should be fair across all society's classes. And the gaps and privileges of the rich are undeniable. This maybe works on an emotional personal level but cannot be applied to a bigger picture that takes into account the politics involved.

    I have this mindset, and it really takes time to develop. I developed this at a young age from a mentor, which did wonders for me. I truly believe that the greatest thing anyone can have is a great mentor. My mentor was a youtuber at the time, he stopped making videos but his teachings live within me till this day.
    I really do believe you can be this mentor for the next generation, and I appreciate the time you take to open peoples mind to the greatest they have-their mindset
    Keep pushing for greatness 🙏

    This is something I knew I needed but didn’t want to face. Thank you making this video, it’s going to be difficult to implement all this straight away but given enough determination and passion from myself, it’s definitely possible. Stoicism always provided me with a macro perspective of life but often in a pessimistic sense. Thank you for presenting it in an optimistic manner.

    Thankyou Dr. Jubbal! I had to screenshot some of the messages written because I want to keep it close to my heart when I am going through difficult times. There were definitely many depressing times in my life but I am so glad I stayed positive throughout it all. Sometimes keeping that positivity is extremely difficult. But you have reminded once more why it’s important to keep moving forward. Time is not infinite and if i chose to move forward rather be positive than negative n think about how dreading the hardships are going to be which will do nothing for you.
