Some of them most important life lessons I've learned for you all.
1. Actively seek and pursue difficulty and challenges.
2. Don't be afraid of looking like a fool, ask dumb questions no matter how stupid. It's better to look dumb for 5 minutes than to stay dumb for longer.
3. Fear is inevitable. Being a coward is a choice. Accept your fears and face them. Nothing of value was ever discovered without discomfort.
4. Learn to become comfortable with silence. It's a powerful skill that can be useful in getting more information, holding attention when needed, and even a weapon.
5. Learn active listening skills and let others talk about themselves. Most people only want to talk about themselves and listen only to reply, not to understand. Most my most important relationships started because of this.
Two good books on active listening:
>How To Win Friends & Influence People, by Dale Carnegie
>It's Not All About Me, by Robert Dreeke
6. Learn to cook. Boxed foods are mostly garbage and filler with poor nutritional value. Learn to cook with real meats and vegetables and you'll be better off. Additionally, most people never bother to learn to cook now so makes you more attractive as a partner.
7. Exercise regularly both mentally and physically. Meditate instead of masturbating for the 3rd time today. Go for a walk, ride a bike, or read a book instead of playing another game.
8. Consistency is the key to success in most things in life. 5-10 minutes a day is always better than 2 hours on Sunday.
9. Your first day at something new will always be your worst day at it as long as you don't give up.
