3. Stick within your "Circle of Competence"
What you know <<< What you think you know

4. Avoid Stupidity
Instead of consistently trying to fix problems, avoid them. If you want to remain slim, avoid foods that make you fat.
It's that simple.

5. Be Indifferent to Results
You can only control your actions not the results. Cry, fret, stress and go crazy. It's still impossible.
Work rationally and move on.

6. Ignore First Impressions
You're run by emotions. And hundreds of your subconscious assumptions.
High price = High quality
Beauty = Healthy
Good speaker = Good person
Pause. Reflect. Understand things deeply before making decisions.

7. Don't Follow Herds
Understand what you know, and what you don't know. If you act average, you're going to be average.
Reflect and understand what works for you. Develop your skills. You're built different.

8. Learn to Focus Attention
Having a long attention span is a gift. More you can focus, more quickly you can solve problems.
Keep away distractions. And focus.

9. See reality as it is
Your knowledge and morality has nothing to do with reality.
Fat is fat. Short is short. Ugly is ugly.
Think in terms of facts to acquire 'True Knowledge.'

No pills, no maps, no advise, no motivation, books or fake gurus can give it to you.
If you want it bad enough, work consistently. And you'll get it.
