31. “I was a club-hopping idiot in my mid-twenties doing the work-hard-play-hard thing when I met the woman who made me realize there’s more to life than having fun and getting laid. She was a colleague and I was telling a lame glory story at the water cooler and everyone was amused—except for her. With one look of disapproval bordering on disgust, she made me question my entire approach to life. It took six months to make some real changes and to convince her that I was worth a shot, but I worked hard at becoming someone good enough to date her and I’m grateful to her for straightening me out.”
