1. Set goals (consider making to-do lists)
2. Focus your energy on achieving a goal
3. Avoid multi-tasking unless it is absolutely necessary
4. Eliminate distractions
5. Double time (hurry the fuck up/increase intensity)
6. Be careful of and aware of the influences those you associate with have on you (this absolutely does not mean to avoid social contact with people)
7. Break out of your comfort zone by any means you feel are necessary; when one leaves their comfort zone they find that their comfort zone merely grows
8. Proper planning requires due diligence; a fool rushes into battle unprepared
9. Winning is good for your health
10. Knowledge is power. Subsequently, keeping those you associate with well informed is a good deed.
11. Necessary work left undone is slack that must eventually be taken up by someone else. Lift the burden of others and you will find that by lessening their stress your socio-psychological environment will improve
12. Do not simply be a leader: Encourage others to be leaders
13. Eliminate dependence on others however possible. Nobody likes a leech
14. Do not allow people to become dependent on you. Free them
15. Great achievements require many smaller incremental steps in the right direction.
16. Mental health is in many ways but not exclusively dependent upon a persons physical fitness
17. You must give to receive

7 is a lie i do this as my lifestyle and it is eroding my personhood and individuality which cropples my motivation and direction in life
a restrictive comfort zone is merely the bounds of your persona and breaching them will result in a diluted psychology which struggles to define and assert itself

Novel experiences stimulate neurogenesis; you adapt to your environment, as large an environment as you as the most intelligent species on the planet allow yourself to grasp

i think growth and development on the whole is a mistake
when you're too mature to fight the barbarians will eat you alive and you'll thank them for it
when you're too smart to care the world will pass you by and leave you lonely
when you're too sharp for trickery everything everywhere is designed to ignore your needs and cater to the lowest common denominator of people
you're better off staying tribal, stupid and strong than some eccentric cosmopolitan who refuses to stand up for themselves in petty situations or chase their impossible dreams

On the contrary, I am of the opinion that a mature person would indeed fight for what they stand for, and that an immature person would be not grown or developed enough to even attempt or be aware of the necessity to do so. That a "smart" person is only so because of just how much they do in fact care, as the acquisition of knowledge and understanding is hardly the path of least resistance. Realizing that we too have the power to design our environment for the better not only of ourselves but others is important. Sacrificing ones self for the greater good of others is, I personally believe, a glorious endeavour. This is in stark contrast to seeking to retard ones self.
