I want to get better in general Anonymous 11/21/14 (Fri) 16:38:24 No.97

I'm 19 years old. I'm studying in college. I'm 7.5/10(masculine face, weak/skinny body). People say I'm cool, handsome etc.I get checked a lot by strangers. I'm not lonely NEET omega, or beta who chases girls/paying or who have low self esteem but even though I think I have very serious high potention I'm not total alpha yet.Worst of all I haven't had any girlfriends. I don't tell people fake stories, nor the truth. My main goal is get better, I know then they will come for me. And since I have weak body I decided to work out, hit on gym. I used to be shy but I got over that.I learnt how to behave masculine. I get girls number without problem and easily chat with them. But I want you guys help. I want to be get better, I want to reach my potential. English is not my native language btw.

You can start by defining all this. Do you know what you want? If you are curious about whether or not there is more out there to achieve than you currently know about, how would you find this out? A lot of being /alpha/ has to do with getting up and doing these things for yourself, even defining the goals.

If you want to get better in general you should break down your life into some areas important to you and then set up some simple daily habits to build strength and skills over time. You don't just get better overnight. Here are some ideas:

General knowledge:
Go to the library regularly to browse and get new books to read.

Fitness:
Walk.
Lift 3 times a week.

Nutrition:
Eat 2-3 fruits and vegetables.
Drink plenty of water.

Hygiene:
Shower.
Clean your teeth.

Languages:
Study one lesson.

Girls:
Set up a few dating profiles and send some messages.

Also don't have a getting mindset and start thinking about what you can give. What would you like to give to the world? If you want to reach your potential as a man, you need to become hot shit at something, some field of endeavor. You're the only one that can decide what this should be. One tip that helped me is to think about the top people who do things that make you feel jealous, and that might give you clues. Don't do things that you have no feeling for!

>If you want to reach your potential as a man, you need to become hot shit at something, some field of endeavor

Again thanks you for help, really appreciated.

I'm not the person who gave you the sample list of goals, but I'm pretty sure they are just an example of how to take goals and turn them into tasks, rather than a set of marching orders for you specifically.

The point, I believe, was to show you how a set of goals can become a set of next tasks. You should find a next task for each of your goals, and if you find that the first task you think of can't be done immediately, try to find another way to solve the problem. For instance, you say:

>In my campus I can got to gym free. but there is no trainer. I don't know really what moves I should do.

But is there another way to accomplish this?

Dude, I totally recommend this book for that. It will teach you a lot, but more than anything it will inspire you to get fit.

Lol... probably different fruits and veggies, if you can. Variety is good.

Instead of making a new thread, I'll post here since I'm in a position like OP's.
>19 years old
>6 foot tall,masculine face, weak/skinny body

Now the problems I'm having are these:
>not in college yet
>not driving, lol no licence
>wanting to move up the latter, working in engineering firm

I'm wondering where to go next? I don't want to put myself in debt, I don't have lot of money, so I'm planning on going to community college. I'm trying to get my licence, I have a car, I've already passed the written test, I'm just afraid of failing the driving test. (Texas btw).

I have some skills, where could I be useful?
>Worked at engineering firm for 3 years as admin assistant part time
>Intelligent, extensive knowledge of the bible and american history
>good with computers, know a lot about repairs and experience with building them
>general clerical knowledge

What's a good investment of my time? What kind of people should I get involved with to improve my skills or create new ones?

What type of engineering are you interested in?

Is there a hackerspace in your area?

>Engineering
I'm actually not interested in any kind of engineering, the firm I'm working for is a stormwater engineering company.

Hackerspace? Hey that's in SA, it's on the other side of town but yeah, it's in my area.

Congrats on already having a planning mindset at 19. You're gonna go far.

>driving test
Why are you afraid of failing the driving test? You can take it as many times as it takes. You might have to wait a few days in between, but oh well. If you read the manual you should be fine. If you fail, pay attention to what you did wrong and correct it the next time.

>community college
Community college is a great idea. Just make sure to take it seriously. A lot of people think because it's CC that it's not "real" but it's real college and you're paying real money. As for the debt thing, it's relative. If you were going to attend, say, Stanford University to study computer science and had to take on debt, then hell yeah, do it, you'd pay it off in no time after graduation. On the other hand, if you have to take on debt to go to Podunk State University to study french literature or something... bad idea, most likely.

>be useful
If you're good with computers you can make great money cleaning out spyware and malware from people's computers. It's tedious and not very interesting, but you can charge, shit, $75 to $100 easy for most jobs. Retail places tend to charge way more, so people will happily pay you.

As far as what to invest your time in... the world is a crazy place right now, the future is uncertain, but one would probably not go wrong studying anything related to computers (computer science, IT, programming, and so on) or health care (nursing, medicine, surgery, physical therapy, etc.). Professionals in such fields are useful and welcome just about everywhere in the world. Ultimately you should choose whatever is fun for you and makes you happy, but those are just some ideas.

I'm reading this book right now. So far, it's something I really wish had been around when I was your age. It lays out some strategies for answering some of the questions you are asking right now. Part of what I like about it is that it's not "gimmicky"; he's very honest about the fact that it takes time and effort to master something, but you can use that time more wisely by doing it intelligently and strategically.
