One thing that is among the things that gives most satisfaction is to be your own boss, and to be in control of things. Servants and those who let themselves lead by other things are wretched, unhappy people who don't accomplish anything and are sinking ever deeper into the morass. Don't allow yourself to be caught in the morass. Doing the same tedious thing over and over again is never good. One who has stuck in a rut always will get overtaken and outperformed by the hostile world, and probably is already being taken advantage of by someone or something.
All good tricks are never atomic, unchangable entities.
A good trick exists in infinite shades and varieties. It is always possible to mix different good tricks from different sources, to fine-tune the mixture to suit you best. Beware of dogmatism. Rigid thoughts are the way into stagnation. Stagnation equals death.
