Epictetus was born a slave in what we call Turkey today; he lived in Rome, was then banished and spent the rest of his life in Greece. He said:
When you wish to pursue philosophy and therefore any subject of interest to you, you must throw away conceit and excessive pride before you begin.
Be willing to learn, be willing to listen, be willing to leave your ego aside to learn, evolve and develop through the wisdom of others and through embracing the joy of ignorance.

- Live Every Day As If It Were Your Last
Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher . He once said:
"You live as if you were destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by you take no heed. You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, though all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last."468

- Live Every Day As If It Were Your Last
Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher . He once said:
Death doesn't make life pointless, death makes life worth living. The world keeps spinning when you're gone and so many of us live life with an attitude which represents the arrogant thought that we are destined to live forever.
Your life is in an hour glass and the hole which that sand is pouring through could widen or break at any moment.
