1. I don’t believe in playing around much with suit cuts. I like a fairly classic shape that gives a man strong shoulders, a fitted waist, and long legs. Classic simplicity always works.

2. Someone who is secure enough to be very present when relating to another person is sexy. In other words, a good listener always lands who he wants.

3. When mixing patterns, don’t think about it too much - just throw it together.

4. I hate the trend of short suit jackets. When a man’s butt is showing below the bottom of his jacket, I think it makes him look like a female flight attendant from the back - not my idea of sexy.

5. With jewelry, I actually like bracelets more than anything else, but they have to be small and simple. Cary Grant always wore a simple gold bracelet with his watch, and I think that was very chic.

6. If you’re careful not to overuse Botox, then yes, why shouldn’t you use it? A little bit of it between the brows can make you look less stern and more approachable. Who needs to frown, anyway?

7. Just like girls need to learn to be comfortable in heels before they go out in them for the first time, a man should try wearing a suit throughout a normal day. I do most things in a suit - and sometimes even in a tuxedo - and so I’m really comfortable in one.

8. When it comes to grooming, keep earwax out of the ears and keep stray hairs and flakes of skin in check and you should be good to go. In the morning, I put ice cubes on my eyes and use lots of Visine.

9. Time and silence are the most luxurious things today.

10. There’s one indulgence every man should try in his lifetime: If you’re straight, sleep with a man at least once, and if you’re gay, don’t go through life without sleeping with a woman. Either way, you might be surprised at how natural it will feel if you can get past the mind-fuck of stereotypes. In the end, it’s just another person that you are relating to in a physical way.


Mi piacciono molto il secondo (L'Uomo che Ascolta è un personaggio chiave nel libro che ho finito ieri, e sulla capacità dell'ascolto ho dibattuto a lungo nei giorni scorsi) e il penultino: il tempo e il silenzio sono le cose più preziose oggi.

 

Forse si riesce a parlare di qualcosa solo quando ti dà degli intoppi.

Quando le cose sono ruvide e scabrose, le parole fanno attrito, ci si impigliano; quando sono lisce, le parole scorrono, passano via senza fermarsi, e uno si ritrova a vivere, non a dire.

 

Simpatico gioco della griglia pregi e difetti con i miei ex-colleghi di Very Victoria.

Mi fa molto ridere che tra i miei difetti ci siano: ambizioso, arrivista, iperattivo, che personalmente annovererei tra le mie migliori qualità.

Da cui si evince che stavo sulle balle, e ora capisco anche perchè.

 

Shalom.

Com'è, come non è, a me pare sempre che 'ste cose capitino sempre a fagiuolo...


Dreams are vitally important to our existence. They're not just fantasies that are meant to entertain us as we live out our days monotonously. Rather they're our greatest potential whispering to us and motivating us to reveal that potential in the world.

Unfortunately, most of us abandon our dreams in childhood. Settling for what we think life is supposed to be, rather than what we dream it can be. We lose the enthusiasm and motivation for our greatest goals, and stop even daring ourselves to think of such things.

Today, remember this: everything starts with a thought. Allow yourself to cook up the infinite ways in which you can be happy and successful. Fantasize with the intent of activating these deep desires and allow these universal forces inside you to unfold.
