The # of people who don't understand Stoicism but think they do clearly outnumber the # of people who actually know what they are talking about. Beginner mistake #1 is to think that Stoicism is about accepting suffering. It is the complete opposite. The key idea is to focus 100% on what you can change. And not waste any energy on things you can't change. You can think about it as optimizing the value generated of the limited time/cycles you have to impact things.
