Quote by Leo Tolstoy

In order to change the nature of things, either within yourself or in others, one should change, not the events, but those thoughts which created whose events.

In order to change the nature of things, either within yours

Summary

This quote highlights that if one desires to bring about change within oneself or others, they must focus on transforming the underlying thoughts and beliefs that gave rise to the current circumstances. Instead of solely addressing external events or actions, the real power lies in altering the mindset and thought patterns driving those events. By doing so, lasting change becomes feasible as it directly impacts the root cause rather than merely addressing the symptoms.

All this stuff is so mind-blowing to me that I get to do in my life. Throwing the first pitch out at the White Sox game on a random Wednesday? Like who am I? How did I get this life? I'm glad I'm not jaded, and little kids are the least jaded people in the entire world, so it's fun to be around people that still find wonder in how cool things are.

A simple compliment goes a really long way - for a guy to just come over and say, 'You have great hair' or 'I really like your dress,' and then just smile and walk away. That's a great move, because he's sort of putting himself out there by doing that, but it won't lead to any embarrassment if the girl isn't interested.
