Many of us long to make drastic changes to our lives. We’re tired of the same old, same old. The slide into Drudgery Valley. The pit of quicksand we can’t seem to worm our way out of.

If you feel like this at all, now is probably a good time to make some changes. Because there ain’t no better time than right now.

But how do we know what changes are truly worth all the extra effort? One way is to learn from those we already look up to in society.

The most successful among us. The rich. The famous. The jacked.

The 1%.

Perhaps we can mimic some of their habits to achieve a piece of their success while leaving the douchery behind.

If you want to learn why they’re so much better than us, then please read on.

They believe that to read is to learn, and to learn is to grow. These people aim never to stop growing.

And science backs them up — reading throughout life has been shown to drastically slow mental decline as we age.

So they read. Even in their massively busy schedules — they find time to plop their asses down in a chair and consume a delicious chunk of paper knowledge every week.

2. They spend time with positive people

They avoid losers, users, and bank account abusers. The 1% don’t waste time on Gary, the annoying neighbor who never returns what has now become an entire toolset from Home Depot.
