A good organizer is key to anyone with a busy social life.

If there was anything I'd learned, it's that the man never chooses the woman. All he can do is give her an opportunity to choose him.

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.

One of the things I'd learned ... was how to take a compliment. Just say, "Thank you." It's the only response a confident person can make.

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.

To get a woman, you have to be willing to risk losing her.

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.
