Disagree
" I wanted all this world or anything. "
You shouldn't agree on smaller, than you deserve or you wish. You aspire to the best and don't accept anything, besides, that does you completely happy. There is no sense in refusal of your purposes simply to agree to intermediate results, and then always to suffer in regrets.
Love yourself
I never met other person with whom would prefer to trade places. And even if this delusion, from it is easier for me.
Nobody is perfect, it is the truth, but there is also no sense to gnaw itself for it. Stop to criticize yourself for the slightest offense and make a few allowances to the weaknesses. It doesn't mean that it isn't necessary to work on the self-improvement, simply become the biggest fan and support whatever it happened.
Live to the full extent
" Not the death, and how people live the lives to this death is terrible."
You want to jump with a parachute, but you can't decide on it in any way? It is time to jump! To death you want to complete this course on art stories, but you don't know, whether it is useful to you in life? Register directly today! You have only one life which can be lived – right now. Why to wait until becomes too late?
Be not afraid of a grief, without it you won't be able to experience happiness
" You have to die several times before you start living really. "
Pain, grief, anger, disappointment, alarm – negative feelings which make the life of us miserable and do absolutely unfortunate sometimes. But you will never be able to estimate fully good emotions which are offered to us by life, without having learned their contrast. Therefore while you the despondency seizes, you remember that everything will change soon and this gloomy moment will only emphasize beauty of the coming dawn.
Be unique, and shamelessly emphasize it in all the acts
"It is better to do even the most sad things with style, than fascinating things without it."
Be not afraid to be yourself, Charles Bukovski definitely didn't hesitate of it. Always show the true worth and you seek to express own fantastic identity. It is better to live the life by itself, than to try to represent from itself something that can please others. Whom excites, what all of them think, really?
You are stronger, than you think
" Sometimes you get up in the morning from a bed and you think that you precisely will never be able to worry this day. However then you will laugh, remembering the doubts."
Life is full of tests and deprivations and you and you know it and tested on the experience not once. Nevertheless, you usually manage to overcome these problems and to remain in an integrity and safety. Always you remember that you are stronger, than you think, and it will help you to pass in the most difficult days.
Be not afraid of death
I carry death in the left pocket. Sometimes I get and I talk to it: "Hi, the child, how are you doing? When you will come for me? I will be ready".
The death is inevitable, so why to spend the life for concern on it? Instead of suffering concerning the end, use all advantages of life while it is. It is much more expedient to celebrate life instead of being afraid of death, besides, it does you happier.
Be sure of yourself
"The main problem in the world consists that clever people are always full of doubts."
You are excellent, and the only thing that it is necessary for you, is to believe in the indisputable and brilliant talents. Having reached full confidence in it, you are surprised to those to heights which you will be able to subdue.
There are much more more worst things, than loneliness
"There are things and worse, than to be to one. Sometimes for understanding of it decades leave, but there is nothing worse, than to understand it too late."
Very many people are afraid of loneliness and aspire in any way to avoid this state. But sometimes the bad company is much worse than loneliness which, besides, can be filled with so many quantity of useful and joyful things. Learn to appreciate yourself separately from others and you appreciate the personal time.
In life there is a miscellaneous, not everything should be taken seriously
"Sometimes it is necessary to urinate simply in a sink."
Unexpected, sometimes even mad things happen to us in life, and it is necessary to accept simply them as is. You shouldn't go in cycles in perfection, sometimes it is necessary to relax simply. You shouldn't take everything too seriously, life rather cheerful piece.
