I've seen rock stars agonize over the fact that another artist has far more Facebook 'likes' and Twitter followers than they do.

Most robots don't program themselves.

Because it's so easy to medicate our need for self-worth by pandering to win followers, 'likes' and view counts, social media have become the metier of choice for many people who might otherwise channel that energy into books, music or art - or even into their own Web ventures.

Rapport equals trust plus comfort.

Without commitment, you cannot have depth in anything, whether it's a relationship, a business or a hobby.

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 are a hundred times worse than you can imagine. We are thinking the worst, shallowest thoughts, all the time.
