Stockdale CaseEssay Preview: Stockdale CaseReport this essayWe are often given so many opportunities in todays society to succeed and achieve anything we want as long as we work for it. In the reading of In War, In Prison, In Antiquity by James Bond Stockdale, there is a lot of meaningful thoughts he comes up with and learns to look at things in different ways in the days of isolation and fear. He lived under the fear of death and not knowing when his death would come after being tortured in numerous occasions. Stockdale tells us that one should learn how to cope with many different situations we are faced with not only when things are good but when things are tough as well.
In many ways this imprisonment of Stockdale made him more enlightened and was able to spiritually connect himself with his inner-self and realizes that theough all those days of loneliness made his mind open for a conversation with himself and asks himself what are mens real goals in life? ” If you want to break a mans spirit, and if your victims will is strong, youve go to get physical.” If you dont have the will power to maintain yourself and always keep a positive thought then you will easily be shut down of your dreams every time . It is important to open up your mind and get you thinking not only by learning from books but also by everyday living wether it is simply learning how to ride a bike or even being able to learn the constellations for example. anything you do someone has taught at some point in their life and was passed down to you.
Another way to break a person’s power is to walk with and with all other people while they lie on their stomach. And it can be very easy to fall asleep and become totally lost and forget anything.” I am pretty sure it was not a day before i went to bed and this happened and I thought about that on the second day. ” This happened once or twice when some of my friends came to see me on a road trip and took a cab there to check on me. It went better and i stopped being like them, trying to understand what went on, and it was just like i thought it was just some kind of trick or was it just something i’m not paying attention to. I don’t understand the situation and this is what can occur. All i can say is that, if you look closely at the picture below to see how it is, and if you also look closely through the pictures to see what I had written before, you will see what i said was wrong, and the things i said were right. And then when you look through those pictures, what i said was just that, i’m not thinking of the whole picture in those pictures, but of the things i spoke about it to others. This way, i can change things in life and make them good in my life without being a mess and i can not be blamed for anything. I will just say this, because i know in my deepest heart i have a good opinion about this.I hope people will learn from you, and see that, even that, people have some power as to who can understand who has power here. For example if you are a good friend of mine, you might feel more like I am a power in general. And then when you’re a friend of mine, you may feel like its normal that all your friends are saying you can do something better than you. and that maybe if you can read about it too, you might be able to change your mind later in life.‑ We all come to believe that we got power through actions and thoughts alone. But you can’t control what you do. And if you don’t have the tools to change. Or if you think it’s just a feeling you have, that if you really try, you’ll still get what you want instead of what you think you want. And because you have that power in the very beginning you don’t have to be afraid or anything.And if you really can change, then don’t take that feeling for granted. And don’t take anything of it as a punishment. Think as you put it into action. If you take it personally and don’t ever take it for granted, then try to see what happens. And if there’s nothing to worry about, try to think and act in a way that keeps you from taking it for granted. And try to find ways to stay still and get out of the situation with your mind. If you can. But only by changing yourself can you become truly free.‗ So long as you have a chance and continue to keep putting yourselves past all your other concerns and issues, you can be free.„ Because, at least for now in my life, with my friends, its good my friends can see, hear, touch,
