To quote Nietzsche:
“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded.”
Most people need an external force to motivate them into action, or to keep them in check morally.
Freedom is the will to be responsible to oneself.
10 HARDCORE LIFE LESSONS FROM FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE:
To quote Nietzsche:
“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded.”
Most people need an external force to motivate them into action, or to keep them in check morally.
Freedom is the will to be responsible to oneself.
Such a man becomes elevated from a yes-man to a Superman.
Nietzsche said:
“You have your way, and I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it doesn’t exist!”
Never let anyone interfere with your life, and you should never interfere with anyone’s life.
Nietzsche said:
“There’s a lot I don’t want to know. Wisdom sets limits, even to knowledge”
Knowing that you know next to nothing is the beginning of wisdom.
Overconsumption is harmful, whether it’s food or knowledge.
Wisdom makes you stoic, but stoicism won’t make you wise.
Nietzsche said:
“A truths that are kept silent become poisonous”
Your worldview is as unique as your fingerprints.
Never smolder your truth to make anyone comfortable.
Be authentic in everything you say & do.
To quote Nietzsche:
“Meaning and morality of one’s life must come from within oneself. Healthy, strong individuals seek self-expansion by experimenting and living dangerously.”
Intelligent & creative people do not blindly follow society’s rules.
If you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and think.
Nietzsche:
“I go into solitude so as not to drink out of everybody’s cistern. When I am among the many, it feels as if they want to rob me of my soul”
No self-awareness without contemplation.
No contemplation without solitude.
A sound mind is forged from silence, in the kiln of solitude.
Nietzsche said:
“You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame. How could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?”
For the wise, failure is feedback.
A fear of failure means you are incapable of handling success, and life doesn’t reward the incompetent.
Nietzsche:
“It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a book”
Learn to speak less, or increase the value per word spoken.
You don’t need to do everything, focus on the most essential.
You don’t need 1000 friends, get 10 loyal ones.
You don’t need 10 cars when you can only drive one at a time.
Nietzsche wisely said:
“When marrying, ask yourself this question:
Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age?
Everything else in marriage is transitory."
Nietzsche famously said:
“My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it… but love it.”
