Why Do Ceos Still Love Ayn Rand - Resources Kind Over Matter Photo by Scott Council There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind. —Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Here's a theory I've been kicking around for a few years: Success in Hollywood—being incredibly well paid to do something very few people get the chance to do—won't make you happier, but it should make you kinder. It certainly seems like the unkind—craven, wildly ambitious, stab-you-in-the-back types—are rewarded time and again. When I left NYU in 1999, the year I turned "pro," I was on the lookout for examples of what kind of professional actor I wanted to be. Maybe it has something to do with my being from the Midwest, but witnessing actors like Judith—and the decidedly less enlightened behavior of others—confirmed my suspicion that it was possible to be both a good person and successful in show business. Kind to your fellow actors, to the producers and their spouses, to their assistants and their interns. This is bigger than Hollywood anyway.

What Jane Austen's heroines taught me about love My mom sat me down in front of Pride and Prejudice when I was a very young age, and I haven’t stopped loving Lizzie Bennet since. She became one of my idols: I loved her defiance, nonconformity, and risk-taking attitude. I became obsessed with Jane Austen and proceeded to read all of her books, falling in love with the heroines (and their male counterparts) one by one. As I grew up, each woman’s story stuck with me and meant something different to me, revealing new lessons to me about love and life. Here’s what six Jane Austen heroines taught me about love. You can’t always trust a first impression Pride and Prejudice was originally named First Impressions, a fact truly understandable for readers – after Elizabeth Bennet takes a strong dislike towards her first impression of Darcy, she is stuck in her belief that he is completely undeserving of her attention. Ultimately, how you feel is most important Love can make people do crazy things
