    Teach Yourself a few basic things.

    1. Consistency and grit beats almost everything when it comes to getting ahead.

    2. Motivation is what gets you started, thats about all its good for. Determination and discipline carry you the distance.

    3. Slow down things take time. Usually they take longer than expected, dont be in a rush to get 10 steps ahead focus on where you are and take the next appropriate step.

    4. Get fit and strong early and turn it into a lifelong habit.

    5. Theres a difference between cramming content and information and actually absorbing it. You will get more out of applying the concepts from one self help book than you will out of mindlessly reading and motivating yourself with 100 of them.

    6. Learn how to learn. learn how to focus and control/understand your emotions.
