A Quote by Don Mattingly

I'm always writing at night - things I would change, things I would do differently. When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.
When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.
I write to make peace with the things I cannot control. I write to create fabric in the world that often appears black and white. I write to meet my ghosts. I write to begin a dialogue. I write to imagine things differently and in imagining things differently perhaps the world will change.
In the music business, we all do different things, but we sit there and admire other people who can write a song differently or sing differently. It's not so competitive.
You never quite know what the change is until, one day, you wake up and go, "Wow, I'm reacting to things differently and I feel differently."
At the end of the 2017 season I was on the brink of retirement and I had a decision to make: quit playing or do things differently. I chose to do things differently - with my approach to practice, recovery, nutrition and many other things.

Oculus is a company that often does things differently. But we don't want to do things so differently that we start to get into trouble.
The reason I never wrote a novel is that I don't have what it takes to write characters, so they would all be talking differently. I lack that ability. If I were writing, they would all talk like me, and that's no good.
People see things differently and remember things differently. It's why if somebody robs a liquor store and there are four witnesses they'll often disagree.
Imagination doesn’t just mean making things up. It means thinking things through, solving them, or hoping to do so, and being just distant enough to be able to laugh at things that are normally painful. Head teachers would call this escapism, but they would be entirely wrong. I would call fantasy the most serious, and the most useful, branch of writing there is. And this is why I don’t, and never would, write Real Books.
People will ask me, "How do you approach writing books for young readers differently than for adults?" My answer is always: I don't change anything about the story itself. I'm going to tell kids the way things really were. What I don't do - and this is the only thing I do differently in writing for kids - is that I don't revel in the gory details. I allow readers to fill in the details as necessary. But I don’t force kids to have to digest something they’re not mature enough or ready for yet. If they are, they can fill in the details even better than I could, just with their imaginations.
The day it comes out, there's already things that you start to go, 'Oh, I should have done that a little differently.' You start to make a list in your head. I actually write things down -- what I'm going to do next time.

I would say that one of the things I wish I could do differently would be to be more outgoing.
I wonder if there was anything I would have done differently. I hope I would have done everything differently, except I know everything would have turned out the same. That's the meaning of fate.
Coaching people, people act differently, respond differently, hear things differently from different people.
