WHAT DO YOU KNOW NOW THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW IN YOUR 20s and 30s?
SIMON BAKER, star of TV's "The Mentalist" and the new film, "Margin Call."
Simon Baker says to wait it out.
"First of all, I love Willem Dafoe's answer!
"Now, what do I know now that I didn't know at 20? I know now that patience is the ultimate strength. In my youth, I was never going to take a backwards step. That's the way I viewed things. That was always my instinct.
"Listen, I was a bit of a scrapper. I had the working class mentality where you would never back out of an altercation.
"In so many different ways when I got older, I realized that this was not the way to conduct your life. I realized that there is an ultimate amount of strength in waiting and having patience in all situations.
"Just take a deep breath and be patient. The rewards are amazing."
