Take a second to read the below article. Just cut and past the URL. Remember, this is a program of learning and doing. If you aren't taking the time to study and read then you aren't doing this program properly and you probably shouldn't be doing this program. Don't be casual in your approach to learning the WAR lifestyle. If you are casual in your effort then you will reap nothing more than casual results. If you do, however, go hard in all facets of the WAR lifestyle then you will become a true performer in the game of life. You will become tougher and more confident than you've ever been, and your way of life will be different than the majority of the populations.

GO HARD

Be a good person; be a good father, husband, wife, and mother; be a good friend and employee; be honest; help people whenever you can; try to do the right thing always, and when you slip up, then by all means get back on track with having a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Learn to recognize where the holes in your character are, and then look to fill those holes with charity.
