The Three Cs

There is a lot that comes at us in life and business. Epictetus, born a slave in 55 AD and granted freedom due to his superior intellect, boiled things down to a fundamental truth: there are certain things you can control and certain things you can't control, and you must know the difference. My 3 C's to handling the problems of life: 1. Control what you can... 2. Cope with what you can't... 3. Concentrate on what counts... There are things we can control and things we cannot. Why waste time on things you have no control over? Focus on what you can control and do it well. For things we cannot control, cope with the fact they exist and move on. Concentrate on what matters. If you follow the 3 C's, you will have less stress, be more productive, and ultimately live a better life.
