mean years may
We get stuck in old thought and behavior patterns that may have been effective when we were twelve months or twelve years old, but now only serve to hold us back. And, while those around us may have no problem correcting our minor flaws, they let the big ones slide, because it would mean attacking who we are.
men thinking imagine
Men are a hundred times worse than you can imagine. We are thinking the worst, shallowest thoughts, all the time.
stars acting patterns
I've noticed a pattern in stars that start acting out in public. Every one of them felt like they grew up without love.
acting band directing-movies
One of the reasons I became a writer is that, unlike starting a band, directing movies, or acting in a theatrical production, you can do it alone. Your success and failure depend entirely on yourself.
guidance enough habit
But who are we, really? Just a bundle of good genes and bad genes mixed with good habits and bad habits. And since there's no gene for coolness or confidence, then being uncool and unconfident are just bad habits, which can be changed with enough guidance and will power.
educational exercise creative
Almost everyone who reaches a plateau where he or she is happy and comfortable says its because of finding balance between work, relaxation, exercise, socialising and family - plus some alone time to do something contemplative, creative, or educational.
insecure men being-me
A lot of women - not all of them, a lot of them - feel insecure about men being men.
motivation thinking endurance
True endurance, I think, comes from the inside. It comes from motivation and belief in what you're doing.
romance attraction
Attraction is not an option.
couple eye years
I've begun to look at the world through apocalypse eyes. Our society, which seems so sturdily built out of concrete and custom, is just a temporary resting place, a hotel our civilization checked into a couple hundred years ago and must one day check out of.
men expectations inspire
The good thing is that women have such high expectations of men that it inspires us to live up to them. That's what I learned about male-female relationships.
fame about-yourself feels
Fame won't make you feel any better about yourself.
strong clever weak
The strong live off the weak and the clever live off the strong.
favorite-subject subjects
After all, everyone's favorite subject is themselves.
