The key to success
I know what you are expecting is for me to give you a one word key which you falsely believe, if you apply diligently, will guarantee you success. Unfortunately, there is no magic potion for you and the key to success actually lies in a combination of the following factors.

How not to get bored
Imagine a plastic cup with a small hole at the bottom, you open a tap over this cup and let the water flow in. A little part of that water is constantly going out of that cup no matter what, but depending on the pressure of the tap, you can constantly keep water in that cup. If there is too much pressure, then water overflows. If there isn’t enough, then the cup runs out of water. Avoiding being bored requires for you to maintain a healthy balance in your mind. It's like the illustration of that plastic cup and the tap. Except that in this case the pressure of the tap is constantly decreasing, and you have to swap it for another regularly, leaving it the time to build up its pressure again.

Using AI to avoid conflicts
The words we use, a combination of our tone, gestures, and personality could lead us into conflicts even against our will. This isn’t something we think about very often, but the reason you might be in conflict with others isn’t necessarily an ideological disparity but rather the missteps in our communication.

Keep your brain active
The older we get, the more comfortable we become with what we know and what we do in life. This is especially the case when we already earn a comfortable income, but our brains weren’t built for convenience. Our brains are built to keep solving problems and figuring out ways to make ourselves comfortable, when you stop learning and pushing yourself, then your brain will eventually start creating problems to solve.

A reason to betray a friend
Betrayal is a powerful and often painful act detested across the board, even evil persons and people who betray others hate it all the same. There isn’t a feeling quite as unique as being betrayed by a loved one in whom we’ve put all our confidence and trust, no amount of words can describe that feeling. Loyalty is valued by pretty much everybody, we expected it from friends, family, and even people we barely know to some extent, this is one of those rare instances where there is a clear-cut preference between two antagonistic feelings. I can’t imagine a person ever saying they love being betrayed. While betrayal is generally viewed negatively, understanding the scenarios where one might feel compelled to betray a friend can offer insights into the complexities of human behavior and loyalty.

Taming our Ego
Ego refers to a person’s sense of self-importance and self-esteem, what you think of your own self. Everybody has an ego and that plays directly into their character, actions, communication and their overall decision-making skills. This is one element of our lives which has far-reaching consequences which shape every single part of our entire being, thus the importance for us to understand what it is and how it works.

Fighting your ignorance
It's a bigger challenge to admit that we don’t know than you’d think. Generally, we operate on the mindset that we should be able to figure everything out and learn the things we don’t know. This works well for the things we absolutely have no clue, but for the things which we feel like we know a little of, it's totally disastrous.

Your image is made of glass
What others think of you is so fragile that it takes just for the wrong action (voluntary or involuntary) for it to shatter the image those persons have about you. Of course, this isn’t just any random action but something which is uncommon to what those people know about you. For example, being violent when you are known for your composure, weak when people thought of you as strong, or indecent when people trusted in your decency.

The seeds of division
We are in unprecedented times, at least I can say that for myself because this is a moment in time when I am no longer certain of where right and wrong are. In the past it was pretty clear to tell what right was and where wrong began because those pushing them forward were pretty clear about which side they stood on. But in recent times, I won’t say that the wrong side has become right, but rather the right side has become a lot wrong.

Manipulating myself
Our consciousness lives somewhere beyond our minds and hearts, what I mean by this is that your brain, emotions, and consciousness are three separate entities which are independent of each other but do collaborate together. You see this precisely with the decisions you make.

Void of all emotions
There are people capable of looking you in the eyes, crying to you with all their heart and still betray you at the end of the day. Even while appealing to your humanity, even while begging you on their knees and making you all sorts of promises, they will still deliberately choose to stab you in the back.
