Some good advice from Stephen Friedman

So having an hour conversation with Mr. Friedman... below were the only words spoken.
Not sure that this has anything to do with the fact that he is a little ocean boy and get as deep as the deepest part of the ocean.... but i guess it was meaningful and educational ......Enjoy

yesterday is history...tomorrow is a mystery...today is a gift

think outside the box...because thats when impossible becomes possible

The best things in life aren’t things.
Never judge the day by the weather.
Speak softly but wear a loud shirt.
Tell the truth because there’s less to remember.
Strive for excellence not perfection.
He who dies with the most toys still dies.
Impossible is nothing.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift.
No Rain No Rainbow
I watch the sunrise as often as I can.
I push oneself to the point of excellence, in what ever I do.
The only person that can make me happy is myself.
I go with the flow at the best of times, it’s about enjoying life, why rush...
Meet new people and hear there stories.
Take pictures, because each photo becomes a memory that doesn't get forgotten.
Life is about choices, you get to make

Listen to music; it’s the language of our sole

Day dream, that’s where you can set your mind free

Some of the 17 secrets of manhood:

There's a reason why men don't talk. "We don't want women to really know us, because then they'll find out how much we need them"

We all have a dark side. "Everybody, I think, has a dark side in them, so it's fun to explore that side. It's all about figuring out your opponent." -Josh Hartnett

Our biggest fear? Loneliness. "Guys see horror movies; girls see thrillers. Why? It's the smarter scare. Women are more refined. Men just want to see people hit eachother. We spend our whole lives trying to connect, and when we don't know how to or we fail, we feel physical pain -- it's loneliness. It's the fear that we'll be alone forever."

Three things guys wish women learned growing up: "I've seen women endure horrible relationships because of insecurities. Thats not what I want for my daughters, so here's what I will teach them: 1. You're love is precious. Don't give it to someone undeserving. 2. You can't rescue a man: he has to be happy on his own before you can be happy together. 3. And you're not Cinderella, so don't think you need a man to rescue you. -Laird Hamilton

We do communicate - just in our own way. "I know women sometimes think men aren't sensitive enough. You'll never hear girls saying to one another, "You've got a dumpy ass!" Whereas a guy will say to another guy "Dude, looks like you're gaining weight, huh?" But we'll just take it because we don't want to be seen as too sensitive. Guys will say that if you are not busting eachother's balls from time to time, something is wrong with you. We're not mean, just one of the ways we communicate. That, and things like seeing who can go to the bathroom faster." -Dane Cook

We look up to our happily coupled friends. "Women are confusing. So if I'm having girl problems, I'll talk to my friends who are married or in long-term relationships. They'll say "Try to see things from her side." Whereas my single friends are like, "You know what I think would help? We should take a roadtrip to Telluride!" The guys who are quick to say 'get out of that relationship,' are the single ones who have never been IN a serious relationship. They don't want to lose you as a wingman. Those are the guys that want you to go out, party, and chase girls."

If it's love, we go slow. "The few long-term relationships I've been in, I've taken things extremely slowly, to the point where my girlfriends all said, 'I was starting to think you weren't attracted to me.' Then I had to say, 'No, I was so happy to find someone that I get along with, I didn't want to screw it up!" -Luke Wilson
