Will Strauss
book intention reception
Your intention for a book is never the same as the reception.
comfort plus rapport
Rapport equals trust plus comfort.
people choices age
Accepting others' life choices is something most people only learn with age.
lying flirting
It’s not lying, it’s flirting.
impulsive areas
While I am impulsive in many areas of my life, marriage is not one of them.
alcohol want wanted
Alcohol has never caused anyone to do something they didn't want to do. It only enables them to do what they've always wanted but have instead repressed.
kissing may body
Never ask a woman if you may kiss her. Instead, learn to read body language.
love-is thinking stories
I think my love is storytelling. No matter what it is, it's storytelling. And so whatever the medium is, what's right for the story, I enjoy doing it.
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.
