A lot of people talk about how to learn how to become better at things.

That's rubbish.

Why do all that hard work and spend all that time and effort on something? I mean, there is always going to be someone better than you at it and so its like you wasted your life.

You know what I mean?

So let all those people keep chasing something better. You and I know that very few will even have a chance to be even marginally better at it.

Instead, focus that effort on things that are easy and make you feel good. I've compiled a list of ways you can stay horrible at everything in life.

Don't Practice

The most obvious way to stay bad at everything is to not do it. I mean literally don't do anything related to it at all. You know how the Nike slogan is “Just Do it”, make your slogan “Just DON'T it.”

If you don't do it, you will never become better at it. Without improvement, you will stay bad at it.

If you are already practicing something, stop now. Give up. Giving up is a surefire way to drop out of the whole “self-help” scheme. I'm not talking about giving up a little. NO! You need to give up the whole idea of it. That is the way to ensure you will never become better.

Think of all the people that gave up on losing weight. Now they are happily binge-watching Netflix while binge-eating tons of delicious foods.

That could be you if you never practice.

Blame External Forces

Secondly, blaming everything and anything but yourself will push any bad feelings you might have elsewhere. Never take responsibility for your circumstances. Never take responsibility for yourself or your actions. Just have multiple excuses ready to spew forth the moment someone asks you how this or that is going.

Because if you accept responsibility for your life you might find that you have the power to change what you don't like. This is exactly what we are trying to avoid – so don't do it!

Always blame the outside circumstances. That life is against you. That everything is fixed and corrupt.

By doing this you can feel no responsibility for your lack of improvement. I mean, how can you change the world? It's not like trying will help, so best to do nothing at all.

This is the attitude you want to have if you want to never become better.

Only Talk About Your Potential

Talk about how good you COULD be if you chose to do something, but never act upon the words you speak.

Say things like:

• I could have done that.
• I would be great at that if I wanted to be.
• If only I had the time.
• The time is not right.
• It's not hard to do.
• I'm gathering information about it.

By talking about how you COULD do it, you won't feel bad for not having done it.

This is the feeling we are going for, the best feeling for the least effort. Which brings me to the last point.

Be Pretentious

This is the fun part guys. 80% of the feeling of achievement with 0% of the effort.

Pretentiousness means to show everyone that you are better at something than you really are. So dress the part and talk yourself up! Tell everyone how good you are. You won't have to make it if you can just fake your way through life.

Say you wanted to be a rapper, but don't want to do any of the work or put in the time and effort required. So just dress the part! Get the clothes, the bling, the car – whatever it is that makes you feel as if you are already a rapper.

Maybe you want to show everyone how rich and successful in life you are without having any success or riches.

If you can find someone to loan you money to buy that fancy McMansion and expensive car then you can talk down to everyone else that doesn't have it and make yourself look and feel great in the process.

Credit and loans are like free money! No need to do all the hard work to actually be able to afford it in the long-term, just get that stuff now so you can feel like you have it made.

These things give you the feeling of what you want, which is really the only reason people do anything to begin with.

Conclusion

If you follow the advice here, you will never have to improve at anything in life and still feel good about it. You can get most of the benefit, with hardly any negatives – what a result!
