ADRIAN TANThey would be very disappointed that they didn’t meet their life expectancy.
ADRIAN TANI’m here to tell you this. Forget about your life expectancy.
ADRIAN TANDon’t work. Avoid telling the truth. Be hated. Love someone.
ADRIAN TANThere is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness.
ADRIAN TANIn loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way.
ADRIAN TANSo here you are, in your twenties, thinking that you’ll have another 40 years to go.
ADRIAN TANThere are a great many bad people in the world, and if you are not offending them, you must be bad yourself.
ADRIAN TANIt is far too easy to be liked, one merely has to be accommodating and hold no strong convictions.
ADRIAN TANBe hated. One does not have to be evil to be hated. In fact, it’s often the case that one is hated precisely because one is trying to do right by one’s own convictions.
ADRIAN TANFind that pursuit that will energize you, consume you, become an obsession.
ADRIAN TANYou are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.
ADRIAN TANFinally, you will find that there is no half-measure when it comes to loving someone.
ADRIAN TANThen one will gravitate towards the centre and settle into the average. That cannot be your role.
ADRIAN TANIt is far too easy to be liked, one merely has to be accommodating and hold no strong convictions.
ADRIAN TANLife is complicated. It wtarts before we’re ready
ADRIAN TANYou either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it.
