19 things I learned from Ryan Holiday's Interview

This is an amazing interview with Ryan Holiday. The talked a lot of things, like being a father, how to have a good life, how to treat criticism and how to stay productive. You definitely should check it out. In below I summarized 19 things which I find most interesting in this video, I will share them with you. And hope you can also share your own idea and understanding in the comment section, I'll meet you there. Here are 19 things that I've learned from the interview: How to figure out "what you want to write": Try to figure out the things that you wished you could learn 5 / 10 years ago.

In the article, I want to lay out the principles that I've used in the past 28 years, in studying and working, I hope this will encourage you to list your own principles and share them to the world. If you do that, please comment in below with the link to your paper, I will be thrilled to read it. ...
