I apoligize for butting in here. After all, I'm just an imbecile. But I think you guys may be missing one key ingredient in your recipe for success in your endevor to excell at mediocrity. Sort of like the flour that binds the gravy together, so to speak. From an uneducated, low cognitive, bottom feeding point of view of coarse, since that is all I'm capable of.
The all important ingredient that drives all of those other important exercises you mentioned is racism. If you don't hate somebody then all of those exercises, (as good and productive as they are), are wasted. What's the point in having all those mediocre qualities you guys are striving for, if you don't expend them on hating someone. Or better yet, a whole group or nation of people. If you add racism to your daily exercise, and be diligent, you could be like tm in no time at all.
As for me, I'm just to ignorant and lazy to even try. So I will just resign myself to being a loser for the rest of my life.
This is just my stupid opinion and I don't expect that you take any advise from a fool like me. But just consider it.
I'm going to lay back now and drift back into the vegetative state I live my pathetic little life in now. Bye bye.....................
