    Hmmmm... Hip Forums. Maybe I don't want to know the answer to that question.

    I've never met a successful person who doesn't put back their shopping cart

    Think about something besides yourselves...all the way, forget about you and what you need or want but about another living being.

    The rest will follow.

    oh yeah, and don't be lazy

    I would think self awareness and self honesty would be the first step towards any type of improvement in you.

    Two things that are difficult and cannot be taught.

    Very difficult indeed. But luckily it can be developed.

    Maybe for a freakin ninja! :p

    No i hear you though. Having decent honest people that aren't afraid to tell you what's up are helpful. People that know you.

    Some of these are good, but I still feel like, you're still wanting a person to change into something that you personally want to see, not what's good for them, but what's good for you..

    Interacting with anyone particular those people you don't like can help you to learn a lot about yourself, if you pay attention to what's going on inside.

    along those same lines, learn to be more considerate. which goes for society, the dominant culture (in the u.s. and probably several other places too), as a whole.
    and to not hate logic, especially logic in the service of consideration.

    (pointy ears and a tail would be an improvement too, but of course that's just appearance, which is really kind of superficial)

    and of course, make bud wiser, by sending him to school.
    always be studying something you're interested in, or figuring out how to make or do something that you are.
    (i don't mean this has to be in a setting of formal education either, though it can)

    to the other part of where this thread appears to be going/have gone, no i don't believe anyone is improved by telling them what to pretend.

    and harassing anyone, is part of the problem, not any sort of solution.
