This excerpt is from Ryan Holiday’s book, Daily Stoic. It’s not something I wrote myself.

As I’ve already mentioned in the video I sent yesterday, I’ve been planning to share daily excerpts from the book throughout February.

Do let me know what y’all think and whether it is worth the effort.

Joylashuv: IELTS ZONE

We resent the person who comes in and tries to boss us around. Don’t tell me how to dress, how to think, how to do my job, how to live. This is because we are independent, self-sufficient people.

Or at least that’s what we tell ourselves.

Yet if someone says something we disagree with, something inside us tells us we have to argue with them. If there’s a plate of cookies in front of us, we have to eat them. If someone does something we dislike, we have to get mad about it. When something bad happens, we have to be sad, depressed, or worried. But if something good happens a few minutes later, all of a sudden we’re happy, excited, and want more.

We would never let another person jerk us around the way we let our impulses do. It’s time we start seeing it that way—that we’re not puppets that can be made to dance this way or that way just because we feel like it. We should be the ones in control, not our emotions, because we are independent, self-sufficient people.

What common mistake do you notice in the following sentences:

1. Teenagers are addicted to social media.

2. Fast food causes obesity

3. Social media has ruined real-life communication.

Almost everyone has correctly identified the problem: overgeneralization.

But what exactly is overgeneralization, and how can you avoid it?

Try correcting the issue in the three example sentences above.

Flying to Nukus ✈️

The last time I was in Nukus was back in 2008.

How has the city changed in the last 16 to 17 years?

I like this place, but I can’t help wondering why they named it “Cake Bumer.”

The word “Bumer” sounds a lot like “bummer” or, even worse, “burner.”

Imagine rejecting this place just because you think they’d burn your cake!

But on a more serious note, I really liked the food.

Do you guys know any other great place to have my dinner before I fly back to Tashkent this evening?

Yaxshi suhbat bo’lgan edi Farg’onada. Ko’rib chiqib, fikringlarni aytarsizlar.
