a stoic in full

Tom Wolfe discovered Stoicism a while back, in Atlanta no less. In A Man in Full, a character

receives a copy of Epictetus’ Discourses, reads it, and becomes a Stoic convert.  Hensley dedicates himself to the Stoic life of total moral integrity, self-sufficiency and sturdy acceptance of those things in life he cannot change.  In prison, Hensley refuses to fake insanity to avoid a confrontation with a jailhouse bully because doing so would compromise his character.  The Stoic lesson: Always conduct yourself respectably regardless of your circumstances.  Your moral integrity never eludes scrutiny. "Rebirth of Stoicism"

Where do I apply?

I have to agree with Tom Wolfe, for once: NASA needs philosophers.

Or just people with normal curiosity and modest eloquence.

Gene Cernan asked his fellow Apollo 10 astronauts about the moon: "Where do you suppose a planet like this comes from? Do you suppose it broke away from the Earth like a lot of people say?" John Young replied: "I ain't no cosmologist, I don't care nothing about that." Time, July 27 issue
