Do something interesting every day

We often hear or read speakers, writers, and self-proclaimed clever individuals quoting famous authors. Those who rely on these quotes seem eager to prove their own erudition or to place themselves on the same level as the figures they cite. But if they’re quoting someone else, isn’t it the quoted person who’s truly cultured and renowned, rather than the one doing the quoting? How many times have you heard or read phrases like “As so-and-so once said…”? It feels like an attempt to borrow someone else’s ideas, as if the fame of the quoted figure somehow validates what the speaker is about to say.
 
I’m not opposed to quoting other authors, but there’s a difference between using quotes sparingly and overusing them. So, on this occasion, I’ll share a quote from a famous figure that perfectly captures my perspective. And since he’s well-known, you’ll probably pay more attention to him than to me:
 
“Fashion is the herd; the interesting thing is to do what you feel like doing.” – Luis Buñuel.
 
That’s exactly what I’ve just done: what I felt like doing. I wanted to say it, so I did, and it feels great. That’s what’s truly interesting in life: doing what you’re passionate about, what drives you.
 
Never forget that to make your life interesting, you must trust your imagination, your judgment, and your reasoning. Create something new, different, and inspiring every day.
 

A chance encounter will take him far away, on a thrilling adventure full of action and emotion that will change his life... but also the lives of everyone around him…
