Get control of your life and schedule. Have something specific to accomplish each day. Geniuses continually accumulate information. Never go to sleep at night without having learned at least one new thing each day. And question people who know.
Geniuses are frank, forthright and honest.
Take the responsibility for thins that go wrong. Be willing to admit, 'I goofed' and learned from my mistakes. Geniuses never doubt they will succeed. Deliberately focus your mind on something good coming up. Try to understand the facts of a situation before you judge.
