Learn to be ok with being physically uncomfortable, at least to the point where you can still function pretty well when you're very hot/cold/tired/sore/whatever. You'll waste a lot less time bemoaning your circumstances, and be in a much better position to help yourself (as well as be able to get through necessary but physically unpleasant tasks). Push yourself out of your comfort zone.
This is a good one. Fortunately I think I learned it early. In school I was the kid that was done with the bullshit busy work and enjoying my book or whatever while other kids were still complaining about being given busy work. It's the same sort of idea. Life is uncomfortable a lot of the time. Learning to endure it gracefully has been a huge boon to me. I feel like it contributes to a good work ethic. I work like a beast. I got that from my dad as well. If something needs done, there's nothing to do but do it.
