Give up glossy ideas
Every day we are deceived by gloss: beautiful publics about success, biographies of outrageous businessmen, fashion magazines. We are told that it is possible to live easily, to succeed easily. No, that won't work. In the real world, mediocre efforts lead to mediocre results. An easy life is the same as an empty one. In fact, in order to be something, you have to give up excuses and do more difficult and complex things than everyone else. You have to get up earlier, get more done, read faster, stay mindful, be honest with yourself, and do many other difficult things. To be strong, you have to conquer yourself every day.
