1. hone your language ability and learn to speak well. Only input, no output, will never progress, and others can't really understand their own strength and true thoughts. Learning to speak is a childhood thing; Learning to express is a lifelong thing.

2. Sort out your own views on things, not only the views themselves, but also a series of logical systems and concrete examples that can prove them. You can start by learning the speeches of the excellent debaters in Seven Ba Shuo, and then exercise your ability to write argumentative papers (in fact, to be reasonable).

3. refuse procrastination!

4. further learn to break up.

5. Have the habit of saving money every month.

Think about updates.
