"Capítulo 3
Aquella noche Garion no pudo dormir. Era joven e inexperto, pero no estúpido, y la princesa Ce'Nedra había sido bastante clara. Durante aquellos meses de convivencia, él la había visto cambiar de actitud varias veces, y habían llegado a compartir una amistad bastante íntima. A él le gustaba ella y a ella le gustaba él. Hasta entonces todo había ido bien, ¿por qué no dejaba las cosas así? Garion sospechaba que tal vez tuviera algo que ver con las características propias de la mente femenina. Tan pronto como una amistada llegaba a cierto punto, o alcanzaba un oscuro y secreto límite, las mujeres siempre sentían automáticamente la imperiosa necesidad de complicar las cosas.
Estaba casi seguro que su obvio jueguecillo con Mandorallen estaba dirigido a él y se preguntó si no sería conveniente prevenir al caballero para ahorrarle una futura decepción. Los juegos de Ce'Nedra con el afecto de aquel gran hombre reflejaban la insensible crueldad de aquella niña mimada. Debía advertírselo a Mandorallen, pues era probable que la estupidez del arendiano no le permitiera reconocer lo evidente.
Sin embargo, Mandorallen había matado al león por ella y una valentía tan descomunal podría haber abrumado con facilidad a la pequeña y veleidosa princesa. ¿Y si la admiración y la gratitud la hubieran llevado a enamorarse? Aquella idea, que surgió de repente en la mente de Garion en la oscuridad previa al amanecer, borró de un plumazo cualquier perspectiva de seguir durmiendo; y a la mañana el joven se levantó malhumorado, con los ojos irritados y una visible expresión de desasosiego"

Quince Lecciones
Esto lo saqué de esta página, así que le doy crédito a la persona que lo escribió. Voy a meter una lección cada tanto, o por lo menos eso espero. Recomendado para "socially akward people".
A young man sat and pondered the next phase of his life. “It is time,” he said, “for a girlfriend.” Yet, this new course in his life seemed both exciting and frightening. “But success will not come without much failure,” he realized. “If only there was a way to avoid the painful trials ahead.”
And then, like magic, appeared a Pook!
As like anyone shocked by the sudden appearance of a Pook, he was speechless. But this happened to be a talkative Pook who said, “I will guide you. The constant heartbreak, the loneliness, the feeling of having no control- these can be avoided. Follow me and I will show you many of the lessons that must be learned.”
“Oh Pook!” the young man cried out. “Would it not be better to throw myself into initial error? Is not error the best way to success?”
“No; your heart does not need to be shattered to realize its lessons. Do successful marriages come from a series of failed ones? Of course not. For…
“Foresight teaches gently; error teaches brutally”
With that, the young man asked, “And what is the first lesson?”
The Pook replied, “Follow and see.”
Thus, the young man followed Pook to a nearby college campus. Pook then said, “Behold, the first example.”
Lesson One
A young man, overflowing with desire, saw a woman he thought was extremely cute. She was simply walking around and was involved with her own things.
“I should speak to her,” he told himself. “I must meet her!”
But his body would not obey. He stood there, watching her in the corner of his eye, and felt as if he was burning. She eventually left and he cursed himself even more.
Then appeared another woman who was even cuter!
“I should say hi,” he told himself. Yet, he stood like a statue and his body felt as if he was burning. “She is out of my league. She would never go for someone like me!” He never approached and the woman left.
Yet, another woman appeared more beautiful than the first two!
Somehow, he got himself to approach. “Hi!” he sputtered nervously. She was pleasant. He eventually asked for the number to which she said no. Even though he failed, he felt much better that he tried.
“Alas,” he said now realizing the error of his ways.
“Rejection is better than Regret”
“Remember,” said Pook. “Change is gradual. Before, you saw no opportunities. Now, you see them all about you, yet you are too hesitant to take them. You’re slowly becoming more aware.”
“What are you saying?”
“When you find yourself hesitant, always yield to Action. If you see her, do not wait, gawk or wait for a ‘perfect moment’. Action, action, action!”
“Pook, I cannot. You see… I am insecure. I don’t have that confidence!”
“You are confusing CAUSE and EFFECT. The CAUSE of your hesitant nature is not because of your insecurity. You have not gotten what you’ve wanted, what you’ve desired. THAT is the cause of your hesitant nature.”
“What?”
“You are caught in the vicious cycle. You are hesitant because you are not used for things going your way. And things will never go your way because you remain hesitant. You see what you want, become hesitant, and the door of opportunity closes. It happens again. And again. And again. With each choice towards Inaction, you reject yourself a little bit more.”
Pook continued. “This is where that cycle of hesitation leads. In your world of Hesitation, you shred off more and more of your manliness until you turn into a full-fledged Nice Guy. Then you seek to remove hesitation by making the approach risk free. Then you start giving gifts, poetry, flowers, and declarations of love. You start to examine and re-examine non-existent signals until they read the way you want them to read. In the end, you place her on the pedestal and throw yourself to her worship.
“If there is a choice between less pain or the possibility of more pain, we default to the less pain. In adolescence, going for a girl and failing made you think everyone else would laugh at you. Whether or not it was true, you thought it was true. This was how you were kept within the cycle.”
“But Pook! How do I get out?”
“By realizing that the choice of Inaction is more painful than Action. Childhood is over. You are the MAN. You must approach. Always default to Action now. From those of us who wasted years in that hesitation mode know that Rejection is always better than Regret. Always.”

Women, hate 'em
Si llegara a conocer a CUALQUIER persona que haga eso con mis FIGURAS DE ACCION (no son juguetes, no son muñecos, son FIGURAS DE FUCKING ACCION) la ajusticiaria con gran venganza y odio furioso. Estuve a punto de asesinar a mi hermano porque a su amiguito n o se le ocurrió mejor idea que mandar a volar a mi Anakin Skywalker de Episodio I. Hate him, with passion.
Lo que me causó gracia es como tardan varias horas en encontrar las herramientas (cuando salen al principio es de dia, después ya es de noche). Se nota que no deben mover un dedo. Y la muy perra dice "¿Cuánto saldrá?$100?". Bitch. Bitch. Toda esa magnánima colleción debe valer más que tu miserable vida.
Espero que el "prometido" le haya metido el juicio de su vida por daños materiales. Se lo merece, y mucho más. El Templo de la Orden Jedi seguro la hubiese sacrificado a un Sarlacc o a un Rancor (http://templeofthejediorder.org/)
En fin, moraleja, make sure your woman stays in the kitchen
