if you're one of the many underage/teenage lurkers on this board:

stop playing video games
stop watching porn
stop wasting your time and potential
pay attention in school & do your work
get a job and save money
go to the gym or workout at home in a way that works for you
stop eating shitty processed food like pizza rolls
take a multivitamin, focus on zinc and D3
get some cardiovascular exercise, running and basketball are good options
stretch your back, hang off the side of your bed and relax for a moment
you can also deadhang from a pullup bar
read - whatever holds your interest, i enjoy stoicism
journal - so you can remember where you came from and recognize progress
love your friends and family because they won't be around for long

not that anyone asked, but this is what you're looking for. if you're unhappy with your life, only discipline and willpower will change it. and one more thing, get off this board. or at least, spend less time on it. this place has a serious mental health issue. hope this helps someone

I tell my younger cousin the first 3 points constantly, he’s still sitting there ducking around wasting time. I can’t blame him because that’s what I did at his age, but god damn if he just put 10% of his time to something constructive he could be significantly more successful than I am...oh well

I do all of those, and i still play video games

I have learned a lot in video games, for example a lot of engineer stuff i learned straight from reading about ww2 vehicles and guns

i just don't look at porn, but it's not that bad either, unless you go into vr porn or cuckold, edging or hentai, then you should stop or else your dopamine system will get fucked up, nofap noporn gives a lot of energy, makes you sleep well and also clears your mind, but it can also make you a thirsty motherfucker if you can't control it

fuck /fit/ they are all fags and very cringe
Do sports and cardio instead of limited movement like curls. that makes you look like a retard because of isolated hypertrophy, instead of becoming agile, skillful and athletic because of sports

Also reserve Dr. Mew if you have malocclusion and a shitty jaw, and acutally talk to people instead of being stuck in your own head. Stop smoking so much weed to, or try to restrain it to the moment where you completed what you wanted to do during the day.

This is the real redpill right here. Self improvement is just a form of cope. No successful person ever became successful from doing self improvement. Not a single one.

There is also this, most normies think feeling tired means you did something useful, they are trained to feel this way, that's why most seem to feel "accomplished" when they are tired or with long work hours, and they boast it as some sort of virtue

virtue appears when you have free time and you use it well to accomplish goals, not when you get thrashed around all the week and then in your free time you get to drink or escape through tv because you don't know what to do with yourself

>>14564966

but that's different, most normies do it to feel tired and do something, they don't have goals, they don't do self improvement to achieve something, they just do it to feel tired and pass the day, they don't care about lifting more or being able to build something, they care about not feeling bored

yeah whatever, anyway all serious sport practitioners do squats and deadlifts so your point is moot, maybe your shitty drunk weekend soccer team doesn't but that's because they just care about passing the time, most end being fat af after stopping "playing" because they don't know anything about health whatsoever

I'm talking about those too. Normal people don't have to do any of that stuff to be successful.

[Anonymous No.14565164]

>>14565074

the issue is that normies think that by doing those they are "becoming" successful (and nature plays their part by feeding you opoids and dopamine by doing useless shit), meanwhile succesful people do those because they are bored out of their fucking minds with the free time they have

just see what is a fucking fitness or diet routine for a normie, it's insanely tiring with shitty cardio exercises, meanwhile you can achieve 500% greater results by just following a good full body routine with weights and hiit that takes much less time, same applies to money, you just don't realize it yet

Basically it's an issue of correlation vs causation. If they hear about a successful person who does some exercise, retards like OP then think if they just did exercise themselves, it will directly cause them to be successful. Whereas for actually successful people, they didn't do it to become so, they just did it because it was something they wanted to do.

>>14565078
No I agree that you should hit a good spectrum of movements and efforts. Training is obviously a good thing. But learning sports is a lot more fun and having fun is important and will keep you active physically and socially. All my fitfags friends are bulky and shit but they have poor movement coordination and can't throw the flying disc on the beach, hit the volleyball properly, hit nice basketball shots or come close to beating me in a tennis game. They are just walking awkwardly with their oversized arms.
Not really trying to debate sports vs lifting. Both different things and both have their place.

This. Also focus on the wealth game, not money or status. The latter are zero sum and only relevant during hunter/gatherer societies (sadly our brain is hard wired for this).

Skills:
1) Builder - ideally tech
2) Seller- ideally tech
3) Have equity/ownership stake
4) Everything else will get you money, status but not wealth.

Approach:
1) Think critically and take risks. But not fatal (i.e. no lulz in jail, no lulz going broke).

2) Optimism > Pessimism. We are hard wired for pessimism via evolution. Our ancestors walking through a forest hear a rustle in the bushes. It could be a predator. In such a scenario the pessimist is always better off (you avoid risk and you get to reproduce). Modern society it's the exact opposite. Risks to reward ratio is severely tilted towards risk taking.

3) Stoicism and developing cognitive toolkit. If you can't program/regulate your mind, the world will regulate you.

Books/subjects to read:
1) Lean startup
2) Zero to one
3) The obstacle is the way
4) Statistics & math
5) Art of Strategy (game theory primer)
6) 48 Laws of Power
7) 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
8) Spaiens
9) Black swan (anything Taleb)
