Support Your Brothers Even If You Don't Get The Accolades (Episode 143)

Rules of Brotherhood:
1) If you are struggling with a vice or difficulty, you call upon your brothers to step in and help. If your brother is struggling, you are the one called to help.
2) The successes of your brother should be reveled in and supported, not made a point of jealousy. Do not allow the physical successes of a brother to cloud your mind to the love you have for them.

A Lesson From The Olympics. Accept The Terms, Commit, Live With The Results. (Episode 141)

"A man wishes to conquer at the Olympic games. I also wish indeed, for it is a fine thing. But observe both the things which come first, and the things which follow; and then begin the act. You must do every thing according to rule, eat according to strict orders, abstain from delicacies, exercise yourself as you are bid at appointed times, in heat, in cold, you must not drink cold water, nor wine as you choose; in a word, you must deliver yourself up to the exercise master as you do to the physician, and then proceed to the contest. And sometimes you will strain the hand, put the ankle out of joint, swallow much dust, sometimes be flogged, and after all this be defeated."
- Epictetus, The Enchiridion Chapter 29
