His life became the basis for several books and an occasion for numerous gossip. He was a vagabond, a drunkard, a postman, a rebel, a journalist, a writer, a poet. Not everyone can survive such an unusual and fruitful life, so let's listen to his advice.
Do not settle
I wanted the whole world or nothing.
You should not settle for less than you deserve or want. Strive for the best and do not accept anything but that makes you completely happy. There is no point in giving up your goals, just to agree on interim results, and then always suffer in regret.
Love yourself
I've never met another person, whom would prefer to be swapped. And even if it's confusing, it makes me easier.
Nobody's perfect, it's true, but there is also no sense to chew himself for it. Stop criticizing ourselves for the slightest offense and show a little indulgence to their weaknesses. This does not mean that we should not work on your self-improvement, just become your biggest fan and support, no matter what happens.
Live to the fullest
Not afraid of death itself, and the way people live their lives to this death.
Do you want to bail out, but can not decide on that? It is time to jump! To death you want to take this course in art history, but do not know whether it is useful to you in your life? Sign up today! You have only one life that can be lived - right now. Why wait until it's too late?
Do not be afraid of grief, without it you can not feel happiness
You have to die a few times before you start to really live.
Pain, sadness, anger, frustration, anxiety - the negative feelings that poison our lives and do absolutely miserable sometimes. But you will never be able to fully appreciate the good emotions that life offers us, without knowing their opposites. Therefore, at a time when you have possession gloom, remember that soon everything will change, and this dark moment only emphasize the beauty of the coming dawn.
Be unique and shamelessly emphasized this in all his actions
It is better to do even the most dull thing with style, what exciting things without him.
Do not be afraid to be yourself, Charles Bukowski certainly not shy about it. Always show your real face and seek to express their own individuality fantastic. It is better to live your life itself, than to try to pose as something that can please others. Who cares what they think, really?
You are stronger than you think
Sometimes you get up out of bed and you think that you are sure will never be able to live through this day. But then you yourself laugh, remembering his doubts.
Life is full of trials and hardships, but you yourself know this and tested on their own experience more than once. However, you can usually overcome these problems and stay safe and sound. Always remember that you are stronger than you think, and it will help you get through the most difficult days.
Do not be afraid of death
I carry death in his left pocket. Sometimes I pull out and talk to her, "Hi, baby, how are you? When you come after me? I'll be ready".
Death is inevitable, so why waste your life worrying about it? Rather than fret about their end use all the advantages of life as it is. It is much more appropriate to honor the life, instead of being afraid of death, besides, it makes you happier.
Be confident
The main problem in the world is that smart people always full of doubt.
You are excellent, and the only thing you need to do - is to believe in the unquestionable and brilliant talents. Reaching full confidence in this, you will be surprised the heights that can conquer.
There are much worse things than loneliness
There are worse things than being alone. Sometimes it takes decades of awareness, but there is nothing worse than to understand it's too late.
Too many people are afraid of loneliness and seek in any way to avoid this condition. But sometimes bad company much worse loneliness, which, moreover, may be filled with so much the number of useful and pleasurable things. Learn to appreciate yourself apart from others and appreciate their own time.
In life there are different, are not all to be taken seriously
Sometimes you just need to pee in the sink.
Unexpected, sometimes even crazy things happen to us in life, and you just need to take them as they are. Do not get hung up on perfection, sometimes you just need to relax. Not worth all taken too seriously, life is quite fun thing.
