For maximum effectiveness, I use a method that centers on education and taking charge of one's own life. Raising one's level of self-awareness improves one's viewpoint and capacity for focused thought, which in turn boosts one's curiosity, comprehension, and knowledge. Self-respect, intrinsic motivation, and perseverance are all boosted when people are given choices and are given responsibility. Self-awareness and taking responsibility for one's actions are two of the most important mental attitudes for achieving success in any field.
