1. Stop telling yourself that studying won’t help “What if I’m studying the wrong stuff?” “This isn’t sticking.” “I’m going to fail anyway.” These are all things that I used to think in high school, and this delayed my studying or prevented me from doing it at all. You can’t tell yourself this because it will only stress you out and you can’t study while stressed (at least not effectively). Take a step back and be realistic. You MIGHT study some information that won’t be on the test, but no test will ever cover all the material you are taught. If you study well, you’re GOING to study important material that WILL help you on the test. To be blunt, yes, you might still fail. Failing a test happens to everyone, but it isn’t the the of the world. You need to get over the “I’m going to fail anyway, so why bother studying” mentality and replace it with the “Yeah, I might fail, but studying now might be the difference between a 34% and a 59% on this test.” Every point counts and studying ...

Here are just a few ideas to help people with depression:  See your doctor. I cannot stress this enough. If you think that you might be depressed, please see a doctor or a counselor to talk about it. If you are depressed then they can give you med sor arrange for therapy to help yu. You don’t have to go through this alone and unaided. School and Class Tips: Look into the services that your school/university provides. Some will offer counselling services, and some can extend deadlines because of your circumstances. Don’t feel bad about using these services; they’re there to help you.  Go to your classes. It might seem hard but you’ll be grateful when it comes to exams and you don’t have lectures to catch up on.  Work in school. School is designed to be a productive environment, with all of the resources that you need. After several years, your brain might have learned that work happens in school so you might be more productive there than at home. Have a good study play...

The Alpha of the group is the man in charge. He is the guy that women love and other men want to emulate. He is the one that everyone looks to to make decisions and be the leader. There are 6 main traits of the Alpha male. The more of these characteristics you incorporate into your personality, the more Alpha you will be. Trait 1: Confront Confront literally means “to face” something. To orient yourself so that you are comfortably and fully looking at something. Not hiding, not peeking over the fence, not pretending to look at one thing while really looking at another. Just the pure attitude of “Yes. This is it. This is what's happening now.” It is a true and open acceptance of the clearly observable facts. A man who can confront anything, even the hard things in life, is displaying Alpha characteristics. The Alpha of a group is the one who is supposed to confront. That's why he's the Alpha. Any leader, be it the unofficial leader of a social group or t...

There’s something about waking up that I love so much. You are here on this beautiful earth for one more day. You didn’t have a stroke in your sleep and die. That’s reason for celebration in itself. How you wake up and stimulate your mind sets up your whole day. I’m a sucker for tips and tricks for gaining that slight edge on my peers, as I’m sure you are as well. Picture how you wake up now. Do you groggily turn off your alarm and stare at your phone for 10 minutes? Crawl to the shower and consider not shaving? I hope that’s what the majority of people do because that means I am absolutely kicking their a@ss from the very first second of each day. I view each morning as another opportunity to gain an advantage on everyone else. Most people suck at waking up and wonder why they're tired all day. The morning period is so crucial for daily success because although you’re mind is so fresh, it is at the same time a jumbled mess. Awake but still dreaming. Stiff but f...

Summary - 3 paths to wealth: ownership, sales, and specialization. All three require investment.This concepts must be mastered to succeed in the first two, which also require less to start. Body -  Contrary to what the majority of people believes, most well off and wealthy people (in the U.S. anyway) did not inherit their wealth. The top .001% is a different story. But the 1%? Over half of those people don't even fit the definition of what wealthy truly means. 1% starts at $400k/year in income for a household ... that's middle class. In my experience, most well off and wealthy people come from lower-middle-class families. There's some misinformation on what this means, but lower-middle-class is usually defined as owning property and not living paycheck to paycheck. They can afford to put their kids through private school, but may choose not to. Usually these people are salaried employees who make a good living but do not possess a high ceiling t...

Introduction   Many people want to start positive habits, but struggle to avoid distractions (like television and Facebook.) Maybe you want to write ten pages of fiction per week, but instead of working you end up surfing the web and checking email. You know you're choosing instant gratification over lasting fulfillment, but can't seem to help yourself. I think most of us, in some form or another, can relate to this frustrating scenario. To overcome inertia and implement positive habits that last, you need to develop a greater sense of agency. Taking ownership of yourself and your actions is a fundamental aspect of personal development. See, when the average guy sits down to work, and ends up surfing the web instead, he thinks this is something that just happened. He believes that giving into distraction is normal (perhaps inevitable) and mostly out of his control. Sure he's the one clicking out of Microsoft Word, but in his mind this isn'...

When I was at my low point lads, I would listen to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 6 Rules of Success every morning. It would motivate the fuck out of me to be productive and be successful. I don’t give a thing if you don’t like Arnold as a politician, person, etc. The fact is the man came from humble beginnings and became a larger than life figure, a Governor, and had a physique that every dude on here wishes to obtain. Here’s his rules of success and how they can help you on your journey. Trust Yourself   When you trust yourself, you present yourself as being confident with your decisions. Regardless if the decision works out in your favour, you take the first step to make something happen. If you feel like the decision is going to make you happy, successful or whatever it may be, you need to take the first step to make it happen. When you make that decision, you need to trust yourself by following through with it. If you want to be a painter, be the best painter...

This is guide on self-improvement. Although throughout this guide I relate the information to picking up women, the main focus is on self-improvement while love strategy is secondary. Yes, improving yourself will make you more appealing to women , but if that's your only goal then Part 1 is needlessly complicated and difficult. If you're not following this guide for your own sake, you will fail. The l ast post discussed hobbies, interests, and experiences. Together they comprise the CORE of who you are. But with all products, you need to market it and sell it. And make no mistake, when it comes to women you are definitely a product .   Undoubtedly you’ve heard “don’t judge a book by its cover”, but why would you slap an ugly cover on an amazing book? The truth is that people are constantly judging you superficially. It’s not enough to simply have a fit body. You need to dress well and groom yourself. Likewise, it’s not enough to simply have an interesting p...

Hobbies, interests, and experiences These three things make up the foundation of who we are. Women might be judged solely on how they look, but men are judged on WHAT THEY DO. What do you do? What do you like to do? What have you already done? What do you plan on doing? Either directly or indirectly, people will ask you these questions and you must have satisfactory answers. If the answer to all these questions is Xbox then you’re doing it wrong. HOBBIES These are activities you do regularly with TANGIBLE results. “Playing videogames” is not a hobby. Neither is watching sports, drinking beers, or hanging out with your bros. There is nothing inherently wrong with these activities, but in the end you haven’t achieved anything substantial. We fault party girls for endlessly pursuing good times without contributing or developing anything. While lounging on the porch lacks the glamour and excitement of club music, it’s ultimately just as frivolous. Hobbies are more ...

I work for one of the world's largest financial institutions and, through the I've lessons internalized. I've gained a reputation as the go to mentor for new hires looking to embark on the path of becoming their best selves. Here are a few of the main points I cover in a first meeting: In the Workplace: • Positivity is a choice, and an incredibly useful tool.   Be willing to tackle any task placed before you, and allow enthusiasm to flow throughout the completion of each. Why do you think they ask so many personality questions in interviews? One of the most important things to keep in mind when working for someone is just how strongly their perception of you can be altered based on how enjoyable you are to work with. Remaining present in each and every situation while radiating positive emotion towards others will cause them to begin to crave your presence. • Never complain or gossip.    Do what has to be done without complaining and avoid go...

Introduction: So here is my view from the “hire” side of the desk. What I will tell you will have general application, but I work in commodities, so for tech (as an example) somethings will be different, I’m sure. This, like all my articles and posts, is the product of my own, meandering experience and may be worth what you paid for it (free on the internet). People get weird in job interviews. And I mean interviewers. They ask weird questions, posit bizarre scenarios and attach massive over-emphasis to things that they never would in the real world. I've never understood why. Probably I should have taken more psych classes. What to do Before: Tailor Your Resume to the Company Don’t overdo it, but tweak it here and there. That said, some people cannot cope with a resume that is not chronological. I have no idea why, but that’s the case. Research the company. And do more than just go to our homepage. Listen to the last few earnings cal...
