“From my point of view, I deal with a group of thieves.” Ahmad said with astonishment.

“I feel I am still a child, head of a child, with the mind of a child. But is this enough not to feel not grown up?” Ahmad said.
“I think you can benefit from the stoic philosophy.” A new idea from Pola arose.
“How?” the tutor asked.
“Get out of comfort zone, be responsible, don’t seek validation or approval, lack of emotional control, don’t blame others, don’t fear of chance, lack of virtue. You seem a life coach for me., someone said.
"It is time to put limits, to put boundaries. Action, execution. When troubled, concentrate on focus, not repetition. Or are in the United States, not an Arab country where we teach this in schools, not in public gatherings.” A dialogue in his head arose.
“Don’t seek outside, seek within, beat yourself,” Pola said.
“Shall I stop chasing it? Stop chasing everything you are currently chasing, control your choice?” Ahmad said.

“If you write an amazing story, it’s not enough to have a good story, it should be amazing, in everything. Don’t begin with fantasy because it’s not easy to find a plot for it,” the tutor added.

“A gate opened for me, can I enter,” Ahmad said.
"How to check the existence of anything.” Nobody again,
"How to check the existence of some kind of matter. Can you prove its existence before you discover it?” the tutor asked.
“Philosophy is not words and ideas. it’s a know-how,” he added.
“What if philosophy is not stagnant and leads us?” The crowd began to participate.
“Just watch! Calm down,” the tutor said.
"I don’t ask you not to talk, I ask you to know what you are talking about,” the tutor added.

"Chose a well to draw your thoughts out of,” the first person replied.
“Prioritize your mind resources,” the tutor said.
"Don’t upgrade philosophy to be your religion,” Ahmad said.
“Operate your critical thinking mind,” the tutor replied.
“Philosophy made me as. What is this and what is this about. Is it clear straight forward or what. Where is the plots, characters and where is the novel itself?” someone said.
“How to listen and read philosophy,” the tutor said.
“Listen to your inner voice and obey it,” he added.

“I am a consultant of stoic philosophy,” the tutor replied.
Everybody in the crowd was astonished.
