• Learn how to solve my own problems that invo and increase amity conflict.

• Master my emotions

• Learn how to code well

• Learn how to learn well, and be an excellent student

• Become confident at making money

• Become masterful at delaying gratification

• Clear a new tree of snakes before I rest (do the difficult, necessary things first so that I and others can relax into a new, awesome situation)
