If you need to ask its out of your reach.

Act like one.

Don't understand this as "just be yourself brah xD" because that's not even close to what it means. You can be yourself and be a complete piece of shit. There is no manual to become the ubermensch.

Act like the ubermensch, and you will be the ubermensch.

Also, don't ask for validation from others on being the ubermensch, because that's like the most niedermensch thing you can do.

The Übermensch is someone who shapes his own morality independent of the herd. It's an ideal to stretch towards, not something you can become.

Basically don't act out of resentment. If someone rejected you or treated you badly, don't try revenge or act like they did. We live in an era where there are means but not ends, so you have to find yours.

No that's no good because then he'll turn all his repressed anger on himself.
The trick is to not be injured in the first place, to be uninjurable.

You don't. The point is that it's a goal for mankind to work torwards.

"The man who is guided by concepts and abstractions only succeeds by such means in warding off misfortune, without ever gaining any happiness for himself from these abstractions. And while he aims for the greatest possible freedom from pain, the intuitive man, standing in the midst of a culture, already reaps from his intuition a harvest of continually inflowing illumination, cheer, and redemption — in addition to obtaining a defense against misfortune. To be sure, he suffers more intensely, when he suffers; he even suffers more frequently, since he does not understand how to learn from experience and keeps falling over and over again into the same ditch."

Nietzsche's intuitive man became his concept of an ubermensch I think. I'm not sure when he came up with the concept of an ubermensch. It is important to see that an ubermensch is not just intuitive but flexible. They try to do all of the work that they must do not just what they can conceive of.

Eat healthy, don't smoke, don't drink. Drink distilled water cut with a shake of salt. Walk a lot, climb stairs, read. Spend time with friends and family, but mostly family, and have sex once a week with your loved one.

To clarify, the first sentence in that Nietzsche quote he is not describing his concept of an intuitive man.

I should also mention that mensch also meant an upstanding or nice person. One definition says "a person of integrity and honor.". You could also say "a responsible person.".

I just looked it up and I see that that meaning of mensch is Yiddish. It seems like that definition of mensch is old enough for him to have been referencing it but I'm not sure if he was.
