Instead of calling the police, Pattison decided to flip the script.

He invited her to dinner.

But he didn’t charm her.

Instead, he complained about how dull and miserable his life was, and eventually, she got sick of listening to him.

He never saw her again.

The Hollywood actor Jim Carrey once said, “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that that’s not the answer.”

Sure, fame has its perks, but being in the public eye comes with challenges.🧵

The English actor Robert Pattinson handled things differently.

In the past, he’s made no secret of the bad points of being famous.

One female fan became so infatuated with him that she followed him everywhere.

The Pacific Ocean got its name from the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who in 1520 named it Mar Pacífico (“Peaceful Sea”) after emerging from the rough Strait of Magellan and finding the waters ahead were unusually calm.

“When you first start to study a field, it seems like you have to memorize a zillion things. You don’t. What you need is to identify the core principles – generally three to twelve of them – that govern the field. The million things you thought you had to memorize are simply various combinations of the core principles.”

- John Reed
