Depends on the context.

Failing that, read a book.

Nah nah nah nah

To be stoic is to keep your emotions from overwhelming you, and letting rational thought decide your fate.

Which is silly, since reason is impartial. It has no preferences. Reason can only guide irrational passions, but it can not motivate in itself.

Don't get upset about things you can't change
Things that aren't objectively good or bad, while they might be positive or negative, are ultimately indifferent to you
Move away from bullshit

Ther u go senpai, now ur a real sennica

Niggers are incapable of that.

This is how you do it

>thing happens
1 does it matter?
2 does acting out about it make things better or worse in any case?

The rest should be obvious

This is an issue I've had with it.

Without passion to motivate you're left serving some public or social end and the only things you end up doing for yourself is the minimums your nature calls for : food, sleep, exercise

But what about an individuals dreams and desires for become someone important or artistic or to find financial success? To move up the social ladder?

Stoicism is for the ruling class who have the power and wealth to do evil or corrupted things when their irrational passions strike or good and constructive things when they follow what is in the interest of a greater or social good
