The most important part about stoic philosophy is to differentiate between things we have power over and things outside of our control. If a plane is late because of bad weather is it no use to insult a stewardess. That doesn't change the weather. No matter how much you're endeavor to physicly grow or wish you were born in a diffrent country. It is no use. No matter how much you wanna be liked, you can not force other people to like you.
