find something you want to do well and then become good at it

Have you gone to school to learn something or taught yourself a skill? If not, start right now.

College? Fuck you

change your definition of success

literally this

calm down, work hard, train physically, calm down

Open yourself to learning and stop being harsh towards yourself.

Learn to live without pleasures until you can get by with very little. Then daydream about greatness and remind yourself of how shit it would be to amount to nothing when you're on your deathbed.

Make a couple very simple things you will change which will be the first steps towards your large goal. Like 'no more soda' = baby step towards being a ripped greek god. 'wear formal clothing' => dress for the job you want. Etc. And do that starting tomorrow morning.

Structure your day so that you reward yourself with nice things (food, internet browsing, warm shower, alcohol) after doing something right. Your brain will learn the connection between being slightly uncomfortable while being productive (work, exercise, etc) with the large reward that comes after. You will also feel less guilty if you eat sweets after the gym or watch a movie after you did work.

Good luck man, we are all gonna make it brah.

This is the answer

Aquire currency without it being a "get rich quick" scheme. Read up on investing, real estate etc.
Basically become the jew

>close all tabs
>start fucking working
ez.

Acquire high technical skills

That's literally all you have to do to be successful. All it takes is lots and lots of fucking hard work.

Don't be a pussy.

change your goals Op. you obviously are a failure as a man, so you should find some strong woman to support, a woman who will treat you as the pathetic failure you are and lock up your pathetic little cock and keep you butt plugged to remind you that you are a sissy little faggot whose only use is to serve women generous enough to tolerate your disgusting presence.

Fuck this shit. This Aussie knows jack shit.

OP, look. You have the feeling of failure because you have an idea of where you should be in your life right now. Your lack of being there is what's causing this feeling of failure. Want to stop being a failure, then stop being a failure.

Find where you want to be. Whether it's an astronaut, a member of the RWDS, or a fuckin nigger, you have to realize what you want. You know what you want deep down, but you just don't see it. Step one is to visualize this.

Step two is to do it. This is where most people fail because they don't have the will to do it. I can't give any specifics because I don't know why you feel like a failure, but it's what you have to do. You say your 24 and haven't started towards this? Doesn't matter. The only point where it's too late is after your dead in the ground.

38 total loser. I dont care. Fuck fatties off tinder. Lift. Play rpgs.

>ass

what caliber of fatties are we talking?

Old fag here who can chill and relax now without worrying about money ever

If you're under 20, then do the following:
>Disregard girls for now
>Disregard Parties and Clubs for now
>Disregard socializing too much
>Disregard Social Media unless it's anonymous and for shitposting every now and then
>Watch some Entrepeneur bases reports like on CNN business
>inb4 CNN sucks
> All their CNN money series the past 7 years focusing on entrepeneurs, markets and ideas is great
>Get inspired, you'll end up really liking something you see
>Do what you like and interest you

Alternative if you want to be employed instead of self employed:
>same steps concerning girls, clubs, social media
>Look at universities for something useful that is hard but really interesting to you
> If a university offers it, Voilá
>if it's something no university offers, educate yourself, try it out yourself, fail a couple of hundred times until you acquired skill in what you chose

I avoided girls and social media completly from age 20-25, only went out to a birthday party maybe, or for a beer here and there.
All the friends who called me retarded for only focusing on success and myself now keep asking me to lend them money, they either have a shitty job they don't like or can't find a job. Some became addicted to drugs and now have mental issues.
All the girls after age 25 started to grow up and look for a successful guy and leave all the guys who preferred partying behind, calling them losers.
Now I'm 30 years old. I spent the past 2 months shitposting and traveling with my girlfriend of 3 years.

>tfw I can now party and waste my time as much as I want because the "I need a career and money" drive is satisfied.

I still plan on continueing to work though. Because I started to enjoy it

he's talking about those fatties with huge sagging tits, unwiped asses and fly strips hanging from their panties.

This is actually really cool to look at. It's making me jealous too, but because I know this guy tried harder than I did.

Delay gratification. I can guess that 90% of your time is either spent getting high, eating shitty (but tasty) food, shitposting on the internet, playing videogames, and just in general being a useless piece of shit. I did the same bullshit when I was 24.

Honestly you should watch a lot of Jordan B (the B stands for Based) Peterson. He explains a lot about life in pretty simple terms. Namely find something small that you can fix and fix it and then work from there. The best example ever given is to CLEAN YOUR FUCKING ROOM. Any living space really, I don't even care if you live in a basement. Hell, if you've already got a clean room, then sort files on your computer. I know half of you have the junkiest desktops imaginable. You'd be amazed at how organizing at least one aspect of your life causes you to eventually start to sort out other aspects. It's therapeutic. There's a reason for the phrase "cleanliness is next to godliness"

I can roll a joint I can roll sushi.

>2017
>Not having parents prepare and pay for your college.

It's almost like they don't even love you. I have a nice job at Chase purely because of my family. If yours doesn't have anything lined up for you after high school, kill yourself to free up the gene pool l.

I'm 100% serious. If your parents didn't give you anything, find a ditch and stop breathing my oxygen. Your line is a failure if it isn't already highly successful. We will stamp out anybody foolishly trying to break their poverty cycle.

You are already completely dead if you can't even make six figures at 23.

Nah ima get a trade.

>Worked hard to date a roastie who held gangbangs in her sorority whilst you worked hard to be successful and eventually support her.

Stop whining and get to work, thank me later

Thanks everyone, trying to organise my living space for now.

Degeneracy like American sororities and fraternities don't exist here by the way, but nice try.
We have something rightWing and traditional in every university town, tradition dating back to the early 1800s and the Antifa is constantly whining about us

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burschenschaft

and instead of putting dildos up our arse or showing our bravery by doing such things as
>dating an ugly girl
>get drunk and walk naked through a wood
as you Americans do. We are dueling with sabers until our faces drip from blood.
Also one of the reasons the lefties hate us, we are many all over Germany and Austria and are protected by conservative politicians and lawmakers, because it's a German tradition.

>pic related: another tradition we have once a year that makes lefties shit their pants because we are several thousand and they never show up to stop us

You Burgers should have something traditional and get rid of that degenerate Greek shit

Pics or it didn't happen.

Fixed link: en.m.wikipedia.org/Dueling_scar

Not sure you could have something traditional and rightWing like this in the USA though. Since you can sue people even for giving you a tiny scratch.

Most German Franco-German War, WW1 and WW2 heroes were in a Burschenschaft

Get your ass out of the chair, stop whining, and do something.

Just going to ask ITT because this seems to be the place to do it:

Also 24 (soon to be 25) and never employed because I live in the middle of fucking no where, but moving to a more populated area soon.

My main skill set is programming, but when I have looked at job listings in the area that I will move to, it's always things like "must have 50 years experience" etc. How am I supposed to get my foot in the door in this industry? I am a complete autist when it comes to regular life stuff (my main board used to be /r9k/) so help would be appreciated.

Start a business or contribute to some free softwarez

Just be persistent and intense about getting work and kek will deliver

Too bad that all the kids will be fucked in the head

I was told that even if a job says it requires more experience than you have, apply anyways. Sometimes (probably rarely) they have other openings that you are more fit for, and now they have your resume on record. Worst case scenario is that they don't give you a job and don't keep your resume on record, which would be the same as if you didn't apply.

>tfw I don't have anything I want to do
>tfw you're basically a jaded old man at 24

Thanks guys I will give it my best shot

You don't. You're fucked.

Stop regretting your past and worrying about your future. Stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone has different life experiences, obstacles, advantages, etc. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Makes no sense. Live in the present moment and enjoy the journey. Life is both the journey AND the destination. If you have the mindset of, "I'll only be able to enjoy life in the future when I have 'x' skills, 'y' money, and 'z' social skills", you'll never be happy. Let go of that mindset.

Find your life purpose if you haven't found it yet, and work hard at it every day. Have patience and enjoy the process. Build good habits. It'll be harder at the beginning, but soon you'll need less and less willpower as habits begin to form. Don't try to get rid of bad habits, simply make better habits to replace them. For example, whenever you feel the urge to be lazy or whatever, take control of yourself and go for a jog. If you do this, you'll be programming your mind to exercise whenever a certain cue comes up.

Stop procrastinating on your dreams. Stop worrying about what people think of you. It's so meaningless, you have no idea. Take it from someone like me who lived all the way up until I was 21 like that. Stop letting fear get in your way. Courage isn't about not having fear, it's about feeling the fear and TAKING ACTION ANYWAY. I promise that if you just do the things you know you should do, but that scare you, you'll find happiness and fulfillment. Progress is your friend, and that's what human beings really want in order to be happy - progress. You ain't going to die, but you'll keep living in misery if you refuse to take control of your life. I know you understand this logically, but emotionally, you're still stuck.

Just go through that emotional labor. Do what terrifies you. Happiness is on the other side of that fear. Peace.

>How do I become successful in life when I've spent the first 24 years being a failure?
Become a bohemian. You might not get rich but you'll fuck bitches like crazy.

ex-mormon here
don't do this
the families looks nice to everyone that isn't mormon, but on the inside it's sra, domestic violence and everything you're trying to avoid
draining church life, magic under wear, and endlessly changing laws to accommodate the latest mormon big business

>everything needs experience
>everything also wants you to be heavily specialised in their area of work regardless of how rare it is

it depends on what your definition of success is. I have a verified IQ of 164 and after many years of hard thinking I have come to the conclusion that the only purpose to life is to make yourself as happy as possible. nothing else matters. don't worry about what other people are doing. you can see that the vast majority of people, especially those that conform to the pop culture definition of "success", are still miserable. getting a job/money/gf/wife/children will not make you any happier than if you settle down alone in a very small efficient home like a trailer or apartment and play video games, do drugs, and masturbate to porn all day. the cheaper your life is, the less money you need to make, the more free time you have to actually enjoy your life instead of being a wageslave. that is true success.

tl;dr: hedonism is the correct answer

No you're fucking not, but because of your self-limiting beliefs and habits, you are fucked right now. Let go of the bullshit that your mind conjours up. Stop feeding it negativity. Feed it positivity and truth. Your life will start to change. Live in the moment and do what you want to do. Line up your external self with your inner intuition.

You're an engineering grad, so maybe start working on some projects. Contribue and show your value to prospective employers or whatever. You have value, I guarantee it.

>hedonism is the correct answer


kill yourself

ITT: a lot of anons giving great advice. Thanks, peeps. I'm 22 and about to graduate from college. Hopefully I make it goys.

Even older fag here. Part of remaining sane in the workplace is not to let you company pull bullshit on you, part of that is remaining intelligent in your field, always try to learn and know just that little bit more than the next guy. You don't have to be the top dog, but always act like "go ahead fire me". Bosses know where their bread is buttered but they'll never admit it. Always take advantage of every single perk your company has to offer, even if it's free office supplies, plastic forks whatever eases your hatred of your job and makes your outside of work life simpler or even cheaper. Leave your work at work. In the end fuck your company and fuck your boss and fuck your coworkers because none of those people will ever be there for you if you're down in the dumps, so get yours while you can. And if you are lucky you may find some thing you are good at and people with like minds with whom you can start something even bigger. Just don't run out of imagination and desire to learn and do more. That's just keeping it simple and not even getting lucky. Live within your means (or less) what you save now becomes way more in the future.

>t. Lil' Billy Autism

Just accept that happiness and success are only temporary.

>tl;dr: hedonism is the correct answer

No. You have to follow your inner goals and life purpose. Everyone has different purposes, and it's up to you to find yours. Nothing feels better than affecting other people's lives in a positive way, whether it be creating something big or small, or providing a value or service.

You're 100% correct that nothing external will give you fulfillment (success, money, etc.), but that's why it's so important to live up to your unique higher purpose. Hedonism is just allowing yourself to be trapped with your lower, egoic self. You have a higher purpose than that.

>ITT: a lot of anons giving great advice.
You should probably question how good the advice really is, they're on Sup Forums just like you after all.

>How do I become successful in life when I've spent the first 24 years being a failure?

Successful at what?

What have you tried and how did you fail?

Go to the bank and get 1000 pennies
Stick a 100 pennies up your ass and pull them out everyday
Use those pennies to buy goods, services, or just roll them up and take to the bank for quarters

Over several weeks you will have thousands of ass pennies in circulation

Now you can be confident and smug because every person you see has likely handled your filthy ass pennies making them a lesser person

You will go from a self conscious failure to the smug overlord of all of the disgusting ass penny people that you are surrounded by.

Romance and friendship make life worth living.

Work on that.

>gives good advice about not always trusting other people's advice
Is this a test?

1. Stay away from Sup Forums from now on.
2. Don't start sucking cock.

The common reason the majority of people's lives suck is because they can't let go of negative thoughts. They don't realize that they are not their mind, rather they are what watches their thoughts. This means that you are in control. Look up meditation and learn how staying in the present moment gives you control of your mind. You can let go of the negative thoughts anytime you want, you just don't know it yet. You are not your mind, you are not your thoughts. So why are you letting them run your life?

The more you become aware of this simple truth, the happier you will become.

What video does he talk about all that cleaning your room stuff?

What are some other good one? Been wanting to watch some more of his stuff but he has so many videos.

Anyone that does anything creative (and programming is basically creative) needs to have a portfolio of work to show off in order to demonstrate your ability.

You ideally want to have a well written CV and then attached to that ability for people to see what you've done, things like github commits, websites you've built, apps you've published, whatever.

Generally speaking if you want to try and do something that requires some creative talent you need to be able to prove your skills.

Also if you've never worked a job in that profession before you'll have to look for jnr positions which probably pay fuck all, but it will get you the experience you need, so don't be afraid of low paid work.

I'm an IT director and actually hire people so.

I think what the Aussie means is that you should change your paradigms, a change from within will result in a change in your life. Change your habits user, that's the only way to dramatically change your life. thoughts>actions>habits>character>destiny.

Godspeed bro

AMEN to that brother! This is the true lifestyle it's how we were supposed to live in the first place. Finally someone who understands, listen to him guys hes a wise man and his words reflect only the truth! AMEN!

>those cow tits

You're doing it wrong.

Calm the fuck down. It will pass.

Find something worth living for.

Stop browsing the internet mindlessly.

Put yourself first and your happiness.

Never be afraid to take what you want. You have to be an asshole at the right time.

People will walk on you if you let them.

Start building a "fuck you" money account pronto. It gives you ungodly amounts of power in some situations. (boss pisses you off, job is not worth it, your town is a complete dump, etc...)

On women and shitty relationships:

"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

Don't be a cuck.

And this is good advice, watch some of Jordan Petersons work, he has free lectures. Don't get too distracted with that kind of philosophy because it wont solve the problem of getting work specifically but it's helpful stuff, it's just there's more practical things you can be doing with your time to actually get work. This kind of thing can lead to procrastination which is a huge problem for people in your position.

>touch raw fish
>rub eyes while crying

Mfw dress for the job you want

you'll live to be 48 most likely.
You have enough time to try again from zero if you wanted.

Ideally, you don't have zero, you have some kinda of knowledge, even if it's basic motor skills.

Get on it.

This one is my personal favorite (so far). I loved the All Seeing Eye example. I know I might make it sound stupid but it honestly makes a lot of sense that the Eye at the top of the pyramid represents your own soul in a way, where everything below it (the pyramid) is the structure of your life with the Eye itself (your mind) looking from above and seeing ahead. No idea why the struck such a cord with me, but it did

That's because you live in texas

He just did that to fuck with you. It's fucking an entry HVAC position man, who the fuck cares.

fucking weeb

I'm going to tell you the actual truth. I have a similar history.

Here is the actual truth. YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL. Now you can argue until you're blue in the face that "mentally ill" is a nonsense category. But the truth is, personalities are almost impossible to change at your age. You need to take medication (probably stimulants and antidepressants) every day for the rest of your life. You also need to have someone close to you that will punch you in the face when you start saying you don't need them.

Your life is a consequence of "you". You need to change "you".

Successful people don't constantly expend willpower, they just have good personalities.

He just wanted an excuse to get you out so he could hire the cute girl that got Cs in general studies

I disagree with There is an employer's market going on. I just finished a round of interviews, last week. Three jobs, and about seventy applicants. I had no problem narrowing it to people who were qualified.

The interviews were "who do I meet and then want to work with?"

If I don't want to either have a beer or bang you, by the end of our twenty minutes? I'm passing. Because I'll meet plenty of people who I would be happy to see, every morning. So why the fuck would I hire the dude I don't want to see?

Where do you think you are?

I have a couple of neat things I've put on a github that I made - but some of the older stuff is kind of sloppy from when I was still learning. Should I keep the older stuff on there?
