my personal piece of advice is exactly the opposite of "Working out doesn’t matter. Dating doesn’t matter. Eating nice meals doesn’t matter. Sleeping doesn’t matter. Being 'seen' doesn’t matter."<p>if you follow this advice, you'll probably be outpaced by someone that is seen more than you (and thus grabs the spotlight), that has more energy due to a healthier lifestyle (and thus outlasts you in the long run) and the most important of all - keeps his sanity and morale by, you know, dating and having friends (thus avoiding burn-out).<p>success is much more frequently achieved by ones who are simply more visible, have a bigger network of supporters and/or can work steady in the long run. As they say it's a bloody marathon, not a sprint...
