The coolest thing you can do is doing it

"NOW is the absolutely most perfect time to try those new things, to explore new cities, to taste new foods, to start a business, to write a book, to enter a marathon, to go skinny dipping, to start playing squash, to start a blog, to give that dinner party, to propose."

"Don’t’ follow fashion trends. The most fashionable thing you can be is to be you. Travel the world, live in other cities, learn cultures. Learn because it keeps your mind young. You don’t need a university degree to be successful, although it may be helpful, but don’t do it because your parents – or you? – have status anxiety. Stop whining about it.

  But what you do need is vision, tenacity and confidence in what you do. Do what you love now. Switch topics or schools now. Don’t wait till the last year of your education to realize that this isn’t your path. Listen to your heart, it knows what makes you happy."

Siinäpä pari ajatusta, siitä miten tahtoisin elää juuri nyt. Silti kysyn itseltäni, että miksi käytän verbiä tahtoisin? Enkä verbiä elää? Ehkä NYT on tosiaan aika antaa mennä ja elää ja olla vain itseä varten.
