Key Question:
Next time someone claims Stoics don’t care about success, ask: Is this real philosophy or just someone scared to try? Stoicism isn’t about avoiding effort. It’s about giving your best while knowing that you’re more than your results.

Whether your plan/system is called a Quality Assurance or Quality Control Plan, based on your client/customer/sector/business needs, elements of both are essential for success. #qa #qc #success #plan #requirement

#Humans and #evolution are an often debated topic: Do they live for #egoism/#selfishness to maximize their own and their families' #success, and thus are constantly #competing? Does humanity, through its constant drive for #competition, ultimately hinder itself, or is the secret to human success its capacity for #cooperation? It seems to be both, but I fear with a tendency toward the former. But read the essay by J. R. Goodman (2026).

Ask yourself honestly: When you claim Stoic indifference about goals, are you practicing philosophy—or just protecting yourself from potential failure? Real growth rarely happens in your comfort zone.

What do you think—have you ever used Stoicism to justify not trying?

Durch euch ist mein Leben voller Glück – Thanks to you, my life is full of happiness

(English below)

Pädagogen, Wissenschaftler, ja, Menschen mit klarem Verstand, wissen, daß Bildung wichtig ist und einen entscheidenden Einfluß auf die Lebensperspektive eines jeden Menschen hat.
Wie heißt es so schön? „Grau ist alle Theorie“. So richtig diese Theorie auch ist, sie wird erst mit Leben erfüllt, wenn sie von jungen Menschen mit Leben erfüllt wird und sie das aus eigener Erfahrung bestätigen.

Mindestens einmal im Jahr schreiben unsere Patenkinder an ihre Paten einen Brief, in dem sie ein wenig von sich selbst erzählen, wie es ihnen geht und welchen lebensverändernden Einfluß die Bildung hat, die sie dank ihrer Paten genießen können.
Lassen wir sie selbst zu Wort kommen:

„Ich möchte Ihnen meinen aufrichtigen Dank für Ihre großzügige Unterstützung aussprechen. Ihr Beitrag hat einen bedeutenden Unterschied gemacht und mir geholfen, meine Ziele mit Zuversicht und Motivation zu verfolgen. … Ich schätze Ihre Freundlichkeit, Ihr Vertrauen und Ihre anhaltende Unterstützung sehr. Vielen Dank, dass Sie an mich glauben und mich so positiv beeinflusst haben.“

„Ich möchte Ihnen meinen aufrichtigen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung meiner Ausbildung aussprechen. Dank Ihrer Förderung kann ich die Schule besuchen und mich ganz auf mein Studium konzentrieren. Ich mache stetige Fortschritte und hoffe, dass ich mit Ihrer freundlichen Hilfe auch in diesem Jahr weitermachen kann.“

„Ich bin ein glücklicher Mensch, jemanden wie Sie zu haben. Ich schätze Ihre Hilfe, die mich zu einem klugen Menschen macht …“

„Ich bin Ihnen wirklich dankbar für Ihre Freundlichkeit und Unterstützung, die mir geholfen haben, meine Ausbildung fortzusetzen.“

„Meine Familie und ich … danken Ihnen von ganzem Herzen für die Liebe, die Sie uns entgegengebracht haben, um mir bei meinem Studium zu helfen. … Sie haben viel aufgegeben, um mir zu helfen, meine Schulausbildung fortzusetzen.“

„Sie haben mir bei all meinen Studien geholfen, und heute studiere ich ohne jeglichen Druck.“

„Mit Ihnen ist mein Leben voller Glück, und ich wünsche mir, dass wir noch mehr Gründe haben, zu lächeln und einander zu lieben.“

„Sie haben mir geholfen, härter zu arbeiten und mir ein klares Ziel zu setzen, um erfolgreich zu sein.“

„Ich bin Ihnen dankbar für Ihre Hilfe, die mich zu dem gemacht hat, der ich heute bin.“

Wir freuen uns, daß unsere Jugendlichen aus eigener Erfahrung spüren, wie wertvoll die Chance ist, die sie durch die Förderung ihrer Paten bekommen, und diese Gelegenheit für ein hoffnungsvolles und selbstbestimmtes Leben in Würde beim Schopfe fassen.




Educators, scientists, indeed, people with clear minds, know that education is important and has a decisive influence on every person’s outlook on life.
How does the saying go? “All theory is gray.” As true as this theory is, it only comes to life when young people fill it with life and confirm it from their own experience.

At least once a year, our sponsored children write a letter to their sponsors in which they tell them a little about themselves, how they are doing, and what a life-changing influence the education they are able to enjoy thanks to their sponsors has had on them.
Let’s hear from them directly:

„I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your generous support. Your contribution has made a meaningful difference and has helped me progress toward my goals with confidence and motivation. … I truly appreciate your kindness, trust, and continued support. Thank you for believing in me and for the positive impact you have made.“

„I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your support of my education; your sponsorship has allowed me to attend school and pursue my studies with focus. I am making steady progress, and I hope to continue this year with
your kind help.“

„I am a lucky person to have someone like you. I appreciate your help which makes me a clever person…“

„I am truly grateful for your kindness and support which has helped me to continue my education.“

„Me and my family … thank you with a moving heart for the love you have shown us to help me in my studies. … You lost many things so that you helped me to continue my school.“

„You helped me in all my studies and nowadays I am studying without any pressure.“

„With you my life is filled with happiness and I wish we have more reason to smile and love each other.“

„You helped me to work harder and to set a strong goal of succeeding.“

„I appreciate you for your help that you give me that makes me the one who I am now.“

We are delighted that our young people can see from their own experience how valuable the opportunity they receive through their sponsors‘ support is, and that they are seizing this opportunity for a hopeful and self-determined life in dignity.

How a neighborhood restaurant is defying all odds
Northlands Coliseum, the former home of the Edmonton Oilers, is slated for demolition this summer after opening in 1974.

If you believe #education should emancipate rather than reproduce #inequality, this text will unsettle you. If you #think merit alone determines #success it will challenge you. If you care about #social #justice, it will anger you—in the right way.
Read, reflect, and question what we call “fairness” in education.
