- Competence should be your measure of status, not power.
- Understand that group membership cannot capture individual complexity, signing up to it can be detrimental.
- Don’t expect people to read your mind. In confrontations, tell them what you expect instead of what they are doing or have done.
- Try to face your challenges yourself, unnecessary dependence is dangerous.
- Understand that harassment sometimes is just a veiled test of competence and character.
- Accept that most mature women want a man that will challenge and better them.
- It’s important to ask why people don’t behave in a certain way as much as why they do. Our ancestors had behaviors and rules we often dismiss but doing so comes with the risk of introducing new or old problems.
- Make decisions, here and now, even though the best means and goals can’t be discerned with certainty. An aim provides the structure necessary for action and reduces anxiety, because having no aim everything can mean anything or nothing.
