  • Panache is the ability to show off in a more or less entertaining way, depending on talent. It's a fine line between panache and cringe, and what counts as panache in one social circle might be worthless in another.

    Charisma is the ability to stand out and capture people's attention, and eventually their respect, admiration and devotion, just by the way you move, speak, act and present yourself and your ideas. If you think you have it, and you actually do, you can influence a lot. However, if you think you have it but it's not true, then you are probably a narcissist surrounded by yes men.

  • Playing and studying chess, on www.lichess.org. It's a free open source alternative to the heavily commercial chess dot com.

    Learning a new language. Tons of free resources all over the internet

    Learning card magic. You can go a long way with just a pack of cards and the 52Kards YouTube channel

    Learning to play music. Tons of free resources all over the internet

  • Study a few pages every day of whatever is not motivating, and keep going for months and months

    Have a vision of what you want to do later with that skill (for example "6 months from now, I program an app that can send Morse code through my phone's flashlight ")

    Every day, do the studying chores first, THEN do the fun stuff like playing video games or scrolling through social media. Never the opposite

    Spend more time with those that have similar goals

  • Don't worry, things have been falling apart since at least the beginning of written history, and most certainly longer. At the same time, wonderful things have also been happening during all that time.

    Just make sure you take good care of yourself and of the people around you.
