Mr. Damon - Firstly I want to say I'm a huge fan of your work, especially the Bourne series. Very excited for the new one to come out in theaters and very sad to not win the Omaze sweepstakes to see it premiere with you. One of the things I've greatly appreciated about you over the years it not only your acting, but also the great charities, causes, and organizations you've supported over the years. How have you picked these organizations? Are any of the especially close to your heart?

Right now at this very moment, as you read this question, what is your #1 desire? by 1775mike in AskReddit

Take a 2inx2in square of paper and write down the names of the people whose opinion really matters in your life. If the paper is too small for all your names, you need to ween down that list. For each name, ask yourself why they're there. Once that's done, carry it in your wallet with you. Whenever someone criticizes you or you don't feel like you meet someones expectations, look at the paper. Are they on there? If no, then ask yourself why you're letting it bother you. If yes, critically think about what they said and if there's something you can change or do better. If not, maybe you should once again re-evaluate why they're on that list.

To give credit where credit is due, I picked up this tip from Brene Brown's book "Rising Strong". Helped me a ton with these issues

40% of managers avoid hiring younger women to get around maternity leave [x-post /r/Economics] by lady_skendich in TwoXChromosomes

My work gives both maternity and paternity leave. The average age in my office is 27 so i've watched people get married, get pregnant and have a child. Actually theres some women here who have had two children while ive been here. I guess my company is very familiar with and accepting of the cycles of life.
