Marcus Aurelius learned important life lessons from his stepfather, Antoninus. He valued compassion, hard work, persistence, altruism, self-reliance, cheerfulness, and constancy to friends. Antoninus taught Marcus to keep an open mind, listen to others, take responsibility, avoid favoritism, and put people at ease.

Antoninus embodied these lessons through his actions, serving as a powerful role model for Marcus.
