Tom Cruise once delivered a line that froze the room,
“Put your manners back in.” It wasn’t scripted.
During a 60 min interview, when pressed about Nicole Kidman, he calmly said;
“You’re stepping over a line,” and took full control of the moment.
Real life Patrick Bateman.
When Jean-Claude Van Damme openly admitted he regrets leaving his wife, the woman who stood by him when he had no fame or money. He chose Hollywood success and his ego over loyalty, but years later she forgave him and welcomed him back
Three keys to living a great life
One - Start your day with gratitude. Heat. Air conditioning. A cup of coffee. You’re alive. That’s not small.
Second — celebrate your friends’ wins. Be the first call when something good happens. If you can strain envy and jealousy out of your system, you’ll live lighter, and you’ll never lack for relationships.
Third, do something you love. I’ve got kids in the arts. I didn’t push them to Wall Street. Money’s great, but meaning lasts longer. As Mel Brooks said, relax — none of us is getting out of here alive.
Gratitude. No envy. Do what you love. That’s the formula.
@SovereignIM A lot of women are with men that they hate and find repulsive. It's hard to understand why both parties continue these relationships of convenience, but I suppose that's it: convenience. It's depressing to witness.
I have a half baked thesis that a woman’s compassion for a man is derivative of her reverence. So if she truly reveres you, you get full warmth and compassion. Anything less than that, and you get this sort of asymmetry where they drain you into the ground. Please avoid this.
One thing about me is if I see something good in you, I’ll say it. Doesn’t matter if we’ve just met or known each other for years. I’ll speak life into you. I’ll give you your flowers.
