Why do I not have any work ethic?

"investing in stocks and learn about business" is not really quantifiable and accountable. Set more specific smaller goals, then measure yourself against them. For example, you can set a timeline that you want to read "rich dad poor dad" within 4 weeks. Then divide the number of pages by four and check in every week whether you are on track.

I'm studying for a degree in Civil Engineering but it's not what want to pursue.

If you are not interested in it, then don't do it. My guess is that a CE degree is pretty much useless if you don't go into CE.

Also, get the fuck off reddit. Arsenal is not that good to justify posting about them 20 times a day, dude

You don’t have any work ethic because you’ve never had to work. Get a job and start buying your own shit, and focus on acquiring things that money can’t buy (a gym physique is a good one).

Look into the Big 5 personality test. It's possible you might be low in trait conscientiousness. This is the domain that describes someone's innate tendency to be careful, diligent, make schedules and follow through on them. If you're high on trait conscientiousness, this stuff will come naturally to you. If you're low, it won't come naturally, and you'll have to build up systems that hold your feet to the fire and make you get your stuff done. Know thyself. It's useful to know how you score on all five traits, because they determine the kinds of successes and challenges you'll face in life, and if you know ahead of time, you can put in work on your weaknesses.

Get your friends or parents to help you stay accountable. Go somewhere away from home to get work done, taking with you only the work (best if it's a book rather than your computer). Join a study group or work group that gets together to accomplish useful things and gives each other shit if they're slacking. Get a site blocker app and block the sites you go to when you're distracting yourself. Turn off your phone. Get an older mentor and talk to them regularly telling them the things you're getting done. If you have the money, hire a personal coach, or see a therapist if you think there's something fundamental that you're processing that might be holding you back.

life is fucking short...you may think you're young cause you're still in college and probably 20-21 etc..but shit time is gonna fly reall fast after college

your time is extremely valuable...so even if you don't feel like doing something you should still do it

That's the Red Pill philosophy...

You're still caught in the beta mindset where 'betas tend to overanalyze everything and end up paralyzing themselves from not doing anything...' while Alphas just do

So as a true Red Piller you need to just do....don't think just do...

You should change your degree immediately, do it tomorrow. If you don't do it tomorrow you're blue pill as fuck.

You are what they call.. a Fail Son.

Every rich guy who worked his ass off has lazy spoiled entitled kids. Maybe not all, but there’s always one
