‫When you arrive in the morning, think what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to
‫think and to enjoy.
‫The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your photos.
‫No, Larry, to myself, there is a source of strength which will always bring about.
‫One thing that really excites me is how people think, and I always try to question people whenever
‫I'm talking with someone who understands what is their psychology, where are they coming from, what
‫are their values in their life.
‫And often it is very difficult to crack into the psychology of someone.
‫And we don't have access to Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Marcus Aurelius or Alexander the Great to understand
‫the psychology.
‫Right.
‫So this book is actually a personal diary of Marcus Aurelius.
‫He was a great emperor of Rome.
‫And this this book is was not written by Marcus Aurelius with an intention to publish it or to make
‫it available to the public.
‫This book is the result of him reflecting on us towards, you know, just taking time to process his
‫thoughts and emotions and clarify his values.
‫So when you read this book, you will find that he is always talking to himself.
‫He's not trying to teach anything to you or me.
‫The only thing he is doing in this entire book is talking to himself, always reminding of taking wise
‫actions or living a virtuous life of living a life in accordance with nature and all the philosophies
‫that he believed in.
‫So it is a great opportunity that I am able to dive into the mind of the great emperor, because let's
‫be honest, when you are trying to publish a book, you may manipulate it a little bit, OK?
‫You may change the world.
‫You may sentence the world, keeping that, keeping the readers in mind.
‫But this meditations.
‫It is very authentic.
‫It is very down to earth.
‫He has written this for himself, for no for without any end in mind.
‫OK, just reflecting on this Tazo, it is a guarantee that this wisdom is true or those of highest quality.
‫OK, so that's this is what the book is all about.
‫There is there are 12 books in total in this particular book.
‫So that will 12 diaries of Marcus Aurelius have been compiled in this single book.
‫And we will be expecting a lot of lessons from this book and we will be seeing how we can actually practically
‫apply all the lessons in our life to.
