Reply to LPT request: Moving out of the city for the first time at 18 in a rented apartment, any tips? by GauravxAg

Here are several things that I think will be helpful:

Find a good place --outside of your home-- to focus on your work
Use amazon fresh delivery, if available
Work out and eat healthy
Find a community with people that support you and whom you can support --low key, churches are a good place to find this community

Reply to LPT: Admitting when you are wrong, directly and succinctly, is not only being a great teammate, but also a great way to determine friend from foe in the workplace. by AdministrativeAct902

I think this is great advice.

But the biggest benefit --in my opinion-- of this kind of honesty behavior is not the immediate respect you gain from others or differentiating friend from foe. It's the effect that it has on the person that you are becoming. In other words, it's the intrinsic benefit --not extrinsic-- benefit of shaping you into someone that you proud to become, the person that makes a habit out of being honest so that one day when it really matters, you will do the right thing automatically rather than having to think about it.

Obviously this is easier said than done, but this forum is all about stretching ourselves to be the quintessential citizen, and I truly believe this is one step on the path to truly living a good life.
