This is from a questionable source, since I sometimes get stuck in the same downtrodden tracks in my mind. The terror of medioctrity is worse than death sometimes for me, and whenever I look back on shit I should've done and think too hard I can go into full despair-mode if I'm not careful.

However, the most important thing that I've learned through this very short time I've lived is that change is always possible. Not in the overly poetic sense that you can live in eternal bliss, more that you can do the things that you like and be ok with that.
Life is such a weird thing if you spend time trying to quanitfy it with ideas like: "how succesful I am? what's the point?" and so forth. The key to a good life, I think, is to attempt to be very aware as much as you can, so that you know with certainty that what you did, even if you wind up regretting it, was done consciously and knowingly.

Have you ever tried mindfulness or meditation(I guess they're really the same thing, but to be on the safe side...)? I started meditating a few years back and even though I am unable to truly dive into it like some can it helps alot. It is not science fiction or require a mantra or for you to join a cult. Just take a few minutes out of each day to breathe and do nothing but that, try to breathe perfectly.

Here are some books that really helped me that you might want to check out if you are into the more "spiritual"-aspect of things:

Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu: Mindblowing stuff, everyone should have this lying around somewhere!

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert M. Pirsig: Phenomenal read of what happens when you loose your way and then find your way back with the backdrop of some awesome philosophy and ideas from Mr Pirsig.

Quantum and the Lotus, Matthieu Ricard and Trinh Xuan Thuan: This book changed my life, however silly that may sound. It brought so many ideas full circle and just completely thrashed all my preconceptions on everything, really.

None of these books will make a difference unless you make an effort or enjoy them ofcourse, but in my case they were phenomonaly thought provoking, so I hope they can be of some help. Hope you feel better soon, dude

Successful academic? Hah.

Despite our widely praised education standards here, there's better opportunities for teaching careers elsewhere. Teachers, lecturers and most forms of academia are usually frowned upon or just plainly do not receive the respect that they deserve for nurturing the adults of tomorrow.

Seriously, get off 4chan. Just get the fuck off it. You think that being on there gives you a sense of belonging, like you are part of something, an inside joke or a secret society. It is not. It's where the fucking losers and failures go so they can mock and ridicule anyone better than themselves to make themselves feel as if they accomplished anything that day. This also goes for other websites similar to it.

Put half your effort/time into your studies. I don't give a shit how you do it if you study for 3 hours then play 3 hours or 1 hour/1 hour jerking off porn surfing just get it done. Studying is not difficult. The scene from Fight Club where Tyler is pointing the gun at the college drop out comes to mind. Also, girls like smart guys. If you tutor girls, don't do it for free.

Pick an outdoors activity or sport, or rather, start lifting. Continue this until you get good at it and have a decent body.

Get a part time job. Bag groceries, flip burgers I don't give a fuck. It will give you cash and show you that money doesn't come easy. It is earned.

Listen. If you don't have anything to say then shut the fuck up. If you decide to say something, run it through your mind at least once to make sure it isn't rubbish.
Speak up so that everyone can hear. Don't fucking stutter.

If you like a girl, talk to her. "Hey I'm *name* from math class and I think you're really cute, wanna grab coffee sometime?" If she says no then fuck it 1 down 982739253 to go. Get some numbers and sms them. If they don't reply after 2 tries, delete their number. Move on. You don't have to act like an asshole, if they ask you why you stopped talking just say you thought they weren't interested. Make it clear you want something more than friends.

Anyway hope that helped. I was also in that endless shit cycle of pissing off on the internet all day.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

Good advice.
Be careful about the part I bolded. It's double-edged. A really smart and good looking friend of mine, would just think so much about what he was about to say, that he really sucked at communicating. He would just end saying random shit just because he was thinking too much, but couldn't let the conversation go blank, so after a while not finding anything to say, he would end up saying ridiculous stuffs.

Oh and although the advice is good, I find it a little preemptive for OP who's only 15 year old if I remember correctly from his other blog entry. He still got plenty of time in my opinion ^_^

You need motivation and a work ethic. Stop talking about stuff, just get off your ass and tell yourself to do it. The general pattern for too many people is post stuff like this --> get motivation from the internet --> do nothing. If you allocated that time to actually doing what you want to do instead of posting on forums then you might get the grades / girl. Sadly it's much easier to talk about your goals and the put them off, and then ask questions about human nature and try to blame it on anything but the fact that you're lazy.

Yes, speaking from experience here.

I'm glad to report that I took some time off after posting this and studied for my upcoming Chemistry test on the Kinetic Particle Theory and Atomic Structure :D

Travel.

For me, realising that the world is full of people that live lives so completely different to mine yet have similar issues with existential angst, was what allowed me to live more peacefully. Once you realise that the only expectations that matter are the ones you put on yourself you can decide to be happy.

I love food, good wine and better company. I am not afraid of mediocrity, most of the world is mediocre. Being special is bullshit that your parents feed you to make sure you don't disapoint them. The hard thing is finding what makes you happy, or at least not unhappy. All people live and die and there is no perfect way to do those.
