3. Today is a special day (to induce self-indulgent capricious).
4. At least I stronger than XXX (induce us to own immunity).

The authors say, "You do not change the environment, the environment will change you" in this drama of life, he advocated was treated like an enemy as to treat the environment, the environment as a man of flesh and blood, he believes the environment is never-ending induced mechanism. Of course, the author also mentions the environment is not always against us, it can shape us into better people.
eg: Sleep delay is because we want to stay in the moment movie nights, video games and other environments, rather than into a calm and comfortable bed this environment, it is our choice in a competitive environment. We do things according to their own habits, become a victim of inertia, but did not realize that we did not just need to rest when tired, but also need to develop better habits, trying to sleep.
Because we do not recognize the environmental impact of our choice, so it did not make the right choice (such as going to bed on time) if you know the environment can disrupt sleep habits, we will change their behavior, to sleep, it will stop and hand thing, turn off the phone, iPad and laptop computers, planned to go to bed.
