It's not about loving yourself or body positivity or any of that feel good shit. It's about accepting what you've done, looking into the mirror and saying you know how you've hurt yourself and those around you, and then, rather than turning to self pity or becoming detached, atone for all you've done, not only to others but to yourself, especially to yourself.
To truly love yourself, you must first truly hate yourself.

It's really hard to describe, but it frees you, it's like unlocking this hidden potential, when you accept who and what you are and then truly set out to change it. Until you've lost your pride you'll never see it clearly.

Make the most of being in high school or college whilst you can because those days go by way to quickly.

If you struggled in high school just don't go to college, learn a trade instead.

>Intelligence means absolutely nothing.
I've seen a lot of people, including myself, who are told at an early age that they're smart.
It means nothing, it will do nothing for you, and sometimes it can be harmful.
I can guarantee you the majority of the population has the capacity to become great.

It doesn't take a lot of thought to come up with useful ideas.
Finding them takes work.
Realizing them means you have to work with others.
Some people are born with more resources to do this.
Disorders, disease, poverty, and domestic troubles can all seem like it's impossible to be anything more.
That's life.
It's not something you can control, and it does no good to remind yourself of your shortcomings.

People who do great things almost always care about what they do.
A genius is just a person who can follow through with their plans.
No one gets lucky.
You don't need anything to go to college, or to start a business.
I'd even go as far as saying a homeless person could become a millionaire in less time than you would think.

Intelligence is just motivation.
Don't blame it for your own shortcomings.
That being said, you define your own success.
After a while I came to realize the simpler you can get your life, the better.

>college will make you miserable
>If you like someone, get close to them and ask them out. If they say no, then just move on

>moisturize your face after washing it
>get along with your co-workers even if you hate them, it's important to not start bad blood in the work place
