Nietzsche on Hardship

Its been some time since my last post. Hope to pick it up again with a short posty now and then. Read one book of Alain de Botton and think i saw him in a episode? of a program about philosophy. His ability to make complicated things easier to understand is great. But personaly i think one must not underestimate ones ability to understand complicated things and as Shopenhauer said dont follow the *koninklijke weg* whats that in english? hmm let say for now * the easy way. Later more. Here a link to a short clip about Nietzche.
