A giant person sits on your chest; you aren't going to shove him off. So what can you move? Oh yeah, yourself. Don't try to think like a powerlifter, think like the clever little person that you are. Control yourself. That's life, you can't control all circumstances, you can, however, control your actions and reactions.

Much like the Stoic philosophy, you can't control all events, but you can control your opinions about them. This is the efficient jiu-jitsu man. No wasted energy on things you cannot control, but only on those things you can.
