Do something interesting

It’s very common to read or hear speakers, writers, and people who think they’re clever quoting famous authors. Those who remind us of these quotes seem to want to prove how cultured they are, as if they’re on the same level as the person they’re quoting. But if they’re citing someone else, doesn’t that mean the one being quoted is the cultured and famous one, rather than the person doing the quoting? How many times have you heard or read something like, “As so-and-so once said…” as if they’re trying to claim that other person’s ideas, hoping the famous name will somehow validate whatever our interlocutor is about to tell us next?
 
No. I’m not a fan of quoting other authors—though that doesn’t mean I never do it. But there’s a big difference between “use” and “abuse.”
 
That’s why, on this occasion, I’m going to quote a famous figure, because his words perfectly reflect my opinion, and since he’s very famous, you’ll probably pay more attention to him than to me.
 
“Fashion is the herd; what’s interesting is doing whatever you feel like doing.” – Luis Buñuel.
 
And that’s exactly what I’ve just done in this very moment: I’ve done what I felt like doing. I felt like letting that out, so I did, and I feel great about it. That’s what’s truly interesting in life: doing what you feel like doing.
 
Never forget that if you want your life to be interesting, you need to use your imagination, your personal judgment, and your own reasoning to do something new, different, and interesting every day.
