Life is trouble only death is not. To be alive is to undo your belt and look for trouble." -Nikos Kazantzakis
Patch Adams, der Humor-Mediziner hat 10 Tips für neue Wege, die glücklich machen. Ich habe nur die gelistet, die mir gefielen und ein paar weitere oben drauf gepackt. Ob sie helfen? Weh tun sie nicht.
1.Be friendly to everyone at all times; experiment outrageously.
2.Offer a shoulder or foot rub in any environment.
3.Always speak up for justice, no matter how much it costs.
4.Turn off your TV and become interesting. Perform yourself.
5.Consider being silly in public. Sing out loud. Wear funny stuff.
6.Find ways to need a whole lot less money; share beyond belief.
7.Have potlucks frequently, with neighbors, co-workers, strangers. Work toward living in extended families.(sog. "Potlucks": z.B. 3 Bekannte einladen, die jeweils 3 Bekannte mitbringen; oder eine Einladung aushängen am Schwarzen Brett im Supermarkt; jeder bringt Essen und Getränke für sich und andere)
sagt Patch und brittbee ergänzt
8. Find the perfect soundtrack for ever situation. Music helps.
9. Spend some time alone every day
10.Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
11.Travel as far and as often as you can.
unterstelle jedem und jeder, der/die dir heute über den weg läuft, ein reines herz und eine gute seele. auch beim autofahren.
Auch das mit der Justice... wiel soll das gehen, zB bei der StVO?
TV aus ist ok. Und performed habe ich mich bereits in der Wiege. 5 Unterschreibe ich. Bis auf die Sache mit dem funny stuff. Das geht (leider) nicht immer.
Bei 6 bin ich immer noch am üben. Und "potlucks"? Hier in der Nachbarschaft? Ich denke Du weisst, das ich das nicht machen kann. So gern ich es auch täte. :)
Soundtrack ist definitiv aiiight. Zeit allein´ sowieso. Tja, und "reckless" und "abandon" sind mein dritter und vierter Vorname. Und nach Asien geht´s dieses Jahr wohl auch endlich.
Ich denke, ich bin gut (davor).
hrhr... klasse! Aber ich denke, so wie von dir und che [gewollt?] verstanden, ists auch gar nicht gemeint. Zumindest hab ichs nicht so verstanden. Geht um die grundsätzliche Einstellung anderen gegenüber und den Vertrauensvorschuss, den man erstmal gewähren sollte. Vielleicht auch darum, anderen mit Freundlichkeit eins auszuwischen. Kommt sicher effektiver bei den Verkniffenen und ist somit auch gemein .-)
einer geht noch: WEAR SUNSCREEN!
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen…
