my first vacation in four years
na dovolenku po štyroch rokoch

of an attempt or a partial success?
aspoň pokus alebo čiastočný úspech?
look at the upside.
na kladnú stránku.
you're considering,
čo vám napadlo,
develop skills,
sebavedomie, zručnosti,
of, say, a base hit?
so don't skip it:
takže ju nepreskakujte:
what might go wrong
keď premýšľajú, čo sa mohlo pokaziť,
say, ask for a raise.
napríklad, požiadať o navýšenie platu.
is the atrocious cost of the status quo --
obrovská daň za prebývanie v status quo –
say, six months, 12 months, three years?

was no longer an option for me.
že nečinnosť už nešla do úvahy.
That's fear-setting.
Určenie svojich strachov.
that on a scale of one to 10,

the hard choices, easy,
ťažké rozhodnutia, budú ľahké,
of one of my favorite modern-day Stoics.
svojho obľúbeného stoika zo súčasnosti.

with next to nothing,
s takmer ničím v rukách
in a very nice place,
na veľmi peknom mieste
I've met in my life,
ktorých som kedy stretol,
so pay attention.
som mu poslal SMS s textom,
any Stoic philosophy?
s filozofiou stoicizmu.
He is a terse dude.
Je to strohý chlapík.
with stoicism,
of his most important decisions,

for his principles and ethics,
and something akin to fear-setting,
podobné ako určenie, čo ho desí,

what we most need to do.
and problems we face
