baz luhrman talks to the people #19

Don't expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund.
Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse.
But you never know when either one might run out.

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.

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.

baz luhrman talks to the people #16

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

a vida é dura

Assim que instalei a adsl, consegui trabalho!
Nem sequer tive tempo de me tornar uma geek como deve ser...

baz luhrman talks to the people #15

Get to know your parents.
You never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings.
They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines.
They will only make you feel ugly.

baz luhrman talks to the people #13

Enjoy your body.
Use it every way you can.
Don't be afraid of it or of 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 your living room.

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.
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance.
So are everybody else's.

Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

baz luhrman talks to the people #10

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.

Keep your old love letters.
Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

baz luhrman talks to the people #8

Remember compliments you receive.
Forget the insults.
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

baz luhrman talks to the people #7

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.

baz luhrman talks to the people #6

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts.
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.
