The Mistakes of Man (by Cicero)

Hello Everyone !!!

Marcus Cicero (3 Jan 106 BC – 7 Dec 43 BC) was a Roman statesman, lawyer and Academic Skeptic philosopher.  His extensive writings include treatises on rhetoric, philosophy and politics, and he is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists.

The 6 Mistakes :

1. The false belief that personal gain is made by crushing others.

2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed.

3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.

4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.

5. Neglecting development and refinement of mind and not acquiring the habit of reading and study.

6. Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.


Thanks for Reading !!!
