ALWAYS REMEMBER:
So PLAN the following habits in your shedule, PRIORITIZE them one at a time and finally EXECUTE!
1. Read
A book gives a man the opportunity to explore a perilous idea, step into a phantasm, and consume the visionary thoughts of others. It is food for your mind, a greenhouse for your imagination. It makes you a more interesting person.
You must enrich your thoughts, breath life into your creativity. Reading creates a haven where your mind can innovate and imagine. If you were a girl, would you rather have a conversation with a man who works at a bar for 10 hours a day, or with a man who travels the world for a living? Through books, you can be both.
2. Dance
Pay close attention to clubs scenes. The guys that have the most girls around them are the ones who can dance. And by dance, I mean really move, not just hip thrust. Dancing means being in tune with the music, and using the core part of your body to move.
Only about 5% of the male population can do this. The rest either flail their arms around like a tortured flamingo, stand in the corner and stare at other people dancing, or hip thrust. Hip thrusting is especially unattractive, it makes it look like you’re dry humping everything on the dance floor because you’ve been sexually deprived all your life. Take lessons if you can’t dance, or join a dance team for a year if you’re in college.
3. Play an instrument
“The discovery of song and the creation of musical instruments both owed their origin to a human impulse which lies much deeper than conscious intention: the need for rhythm in life... the need is a deep one, transcending thought, and disregarded at our peril.” - Richard Baker
4. Engage in an intellectual activity
Preferably, choose a competitive intellectual activity like chess. The combination of your ambition to win with the extraordinary amount of acumen required to excel makes it much more than just a lifeless mathematical exercise. The victory you achieve from an analytical sport represents the triumph of your mind and launches your ingenuity to new heights. Keep your brain sharp, it is the strongest asset you will ever own.
5. Travel
“The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
6. Play a sport
“I don’t know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.” - Richard Nixon
Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records. Recently in a documentary I saw about the most successful people on Wall Street, the makers pointed out how most of the moguls were all obsessed with a sport at an earlier point in their lives. The competitive nature of sports amplifies the will to power in all of us. It teaches character, discipline, and stimulates courage. Being good at a sport builds natural confidence and cultivates a powerful personality.
7. Believe
It doesn’t matter if it’s a religion or a philosophy, Islam or existentialism. Find a body of thought that you would be willing to believe in, something that gives you purpose. Create your own if you want to. You’re thoughts are the most powerful things you have, don’t waste them.

So I should start dancing and playing chess I guess...
Great post again sharky. Will resteem once more and hope you get some exposure.
Don't call me that! But hey, thanks.
Dancing is the best! I'm not all that good at it, but you can't beat something that brings music, exercise, and play all together at the same time. Some dancing, along with reading well-time words of wisdom, is enough to snap me out of most funks.
Or to put it in the words of the great John Lee Hooker
Keep on' boogie'n dude!
waoo nice post
Solid points here @theshark. Especially #2. Wasn't expecting that lol but I FULLY support it. I am all about the dance brutha!
I'd love to hear your thoughts about my recent post: Do The Little Things In Life Really Matter?
Yeah have to admit #2 isn't the most straightforward one. But hey, it worked for me.
Will check out your post in a sec.
Works for me too ;-) cheers bro
I heavily engage in #1 #4 #7
I'm not very big on physical activities. To me the most important part is the deconstruction. The entire reality can be broken down into a complex web of cause and effect. When you understand these actions and consequences you have more control over the world.
It's like chemistry or my personal favorite example: software. When you know the coding of a software, you can bend it to your will. That's what should be done with you life.
Pick apart
Understand
And live with that understanding in mind :-)
Not sure if the human mind is capable of deconstructing that complex web of reality. But hey, all the power to you for trying! Aim for the impossible, right?
I do believe however that some kind of physical activity is absolutely essential. When I'm exercising regularly my mind seems to be much clearer and focused.
You could even call that the most difficult thing in absolute terms. But shoot for the stars and at least you'd go to moon.
As for physical activities just walking and bit of stretching to get the muscles working is enough for me.

Either way, no biggie. Good to see that the originalworks bot is actually really checking for plagiarism.
