The rebbe maharash says; You can't fool G-d and you can't fool other people the only one you can fool is yourself and what is the achievement in fooling a fool?

Without fooling anyone or trying to impress anybody, a person might still honestly fail at any of the following adult requirements:
Take responsibility. Get the job done and do it well. Earn a living. Do the adult mitzvos. Marry and have children and be faithful. Do the following daily: Wash the face. Wash the places where the limbs meet the body and use a deodorant. Floss the teeth. Wash the hair regularly. Eat healthy foods. Trim or file fingernails regularly. Keep the clothes clean and hang them up at night. Eat without getting food on the clothes or floor. If you make a mess in the workshop or in the kitchen or anywhere, clean up after yourself. Leave any place you have been in the condition you would like to find it. Keep your living quarters, including the grass outside, neat and fit for guests, esp. on Shabbos and festivals. Give charity, esp. before Shabbos & holidays. Keep learning more Torah, more songs, more prayers.
