I'm the kind of person who likes to be by himself. To put a finer point on it, I'm the type of person who doesn't find it painful to be alone.

Unless I keep my mind and heart fixed on the love and power of Christ, I will be a victim rather than victor — Steve Shadrach

You have only 30 seconds in a TV commercial. If you grab attention in the first frame with a visual surprise, you stand a better chance of holding the viewer.
