Tyler moved to a big city for a new job. He did not know anyone, so he copied the people around him. First, he met a coworker named Daniel. Daniel liked parties. Tyler started going to bars and clubs every night. He became tired and gained weight, and his work was bad. Next, his boss told him to be more disciplined. Tyler met a man named Andre at a running club. He started exercising every day and waking up early. He stopped partying and got very healthy. His work improved, and he got a promotion.
