“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs

How do you feel about your life today? Do you live every day in excitement? Do you look forward to what’s coming up next? Are you living your best life?

If your answer to any of the above is a no, not sure, or maybe, that means you’re not living your life to the fullest. Which really shouldn’t be the case, because your life experience is yours to create. We all have good days and bad days, and the most important thing is to make the best out of each day, regardless of the good or bad. Ultimately, we only have one life to live. We can’t control all the bad things that happen, but we can change our attitude towards them — and in the process, shape our future and create our most amazing life experience.

In this post, I want to share 101 timeless tips to live our best life. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by these 101 tips — use them as a guide, and focus on applying just one or two a day. As you work on these tips, you’ll find yourself becoming more conscious and more proactive in creating the life of your dreams. Be sure to bookmark or print out this page and refer to it daily!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How Not to Live Your Life (styled in the opening credits as «how NOT to live your life») is a British sitcom, written by and starring Dan Clark that aired between 27 September 2007 and 22 December 2011 on BBC Three, about a pessimistic twenty-nine-year-old man who is trying to navigate his way through life but is not helped by his bad instincts. After a pilot, the show debuted in 2008 with moderate ratings but grew over the course of the three series, doubling its ratings each series because of its cult following. The third series got viewing figures of 1.5 million across the week and was the second most watched show on BBC iPlayer. [ citation needed ] When BBC Three controller Danny Cohen left the channel, new controller Zai Bennett cancelled several comedies, including How Not to Live Your Life.

Background

In 2006, Clark was commissioned to write two short comedies for Paramount Comedy 1 – Dan Clark’s Guide to Dating and Dan Clark’s Guide to Working. Clark was the main character in both shows, and Isabel Fay appeared in Dan Clark’s Guide to Dating, which was shown as ten one-minute clips on the channel, with lists of ten things people shouldn’t do on a date, such as «Ten things you shouldn’t wear on a date». The clips began to appear on the Internet and the BBC approached him about doing a 30-minute show in the same format. The result was the pilot for How Not to Live Your Life, using the same style of short clips within a traditional sitcom. The pilot was filmed in a real house in London [1] and first aired on BBC Three on 27 September 2007. [2]

The pilot featured a number of actors who did not appear as regular characters in the series – Sally Bretton, Rich Fulcher, Claire Keelan and Bruce Mackinnon. Although, Isabel Fay who also appeared in the pilot was in the final episode of the first series, «The Break Up», as Fiona. [3] [4] The BBC then commissioned a full series, which was filmed in a studio in Glasgow. [1] Clark wrote each episode and directed four episodes. [5] The first series started broadcasting on BBC Three on 12 August 2008 with the first episode, «Home Sweet Home», [6] which introduces the four main characters of Don, Abby, Karl and Eddie. BBC Three showed the first series on Tuesday evenings at 10:30pm.

The series often features the character of Don giving a narrative and talking to the camera, as well as cut away dream sequences where he gives alternative scenarios such as put downs or physical moves he wished he had thought about at the time. For instance, in episode four of series one, «The Young Ones», these include, «Eight Ways Don Shouldn’t Dance», «Alternative ways to deal with annoying teenagers» and «What Don wished he had said to his flatmate, Abby, while she was necking with her annoying and square boyfriend Kockface on the sofa». [7]

Series 1

Don is a pessimistic, single twenty-nine-year-old, failing to navigate his way through the very basics of life. His biggest enemy is his overactive mind, which plays out countless scenes of things he shouldn’t do or say. When he moves into a house left to him by his recently deceased grandmother, he meets Eddie, her enthusiastic carer who doesn’t want to leave. Don soon realises there are advantages to letting him stay. To help pay off the huge back payments on the house, Don decides to get a lodger. He ends up choosing Abby, the girl he was in love with as a teenager and whom he still fancies. However, Abby isn’t single. She has a boyfriend Karl, who Don refers to as ‘Kockface’. [8]

Series 2

In Autumn 2008, BBC Three commissioned a second series of How Not to Live Your Life, which was filmed in the Spring of 2009. It started on 15 September 2009. The plotline is somewhat different from the first series. Abby and Karl did not feature in this series, and Mrs. Treacher (Don’s neighbor) has become a main character as well as having more lustful humour towards Don, along with a new character named Samantha. The series featured Julian Barratt as a minor character, Jackson. [9]

Series 3

On 2 November 2009, BBC Three recommissioned the show for a third series. [ citation needed ] This was confirmed by Dan Clark on both his Twitter and Facebook page, and on 29 September 2010, Dan Clark posted on his official Twitter page that the third series was scheduled to be aired in the beginning of November.

On 21 October 2010, Brown Eyed Boy Productions issued a press release on their website stating that series three would begin with a double-bill of Episodes 1 and 2 on 8 November 2010 at 22:30 on BBC Three. [ citation needed ]

Laura Haddock returned to play Samantha. Other actors included Noel Fielding as Marcus and Rupert Vansittart as a «Posh girl’s father». [10]

Christmas Special: It’s a Don-derful Life

On 27 May 2011 it was revealed by BBC Three’s Controller Zai Bennett that the show would return for a Christmas Special, however he also revealed that this would be the last as the show had been axed. The Christmas Special was aired on BBC Three at 9pm on 22 December 2011.

Several months after Series 3, there have been some changes in Don’s life. The art gallery has closed and he is working in a shoe shop while Jason is managing an upmarket supermarket. Still coping with his romantic feelings for Samantha, Don receives a letter from his solicitors informing him that he may sell the house if he so wishes. He decides to sell it to a property developer for a large sum of money who plans to demolish it. As Mrs Treacher is becoming increasingly difficult to look after, Don and Eddie decide to put her in a nursing home, a decision that is made unavoidable by Don selling the house. After a lot of awkward situations, and Samantha believing that Don and Abby are a couple after Abby returns to the house, Don finally tells Samantha how he feels and the two become an item. Also, Don decides against selling the house and things return to normal. A «5 Things That Happened Next» segment reveals the futures of the main characters. Don and Samantha married on New Year’s Day 2012 and eventually had nine children, all of them male. Eddie fled the country after the Police discovered he was a serial killer who grooms men for three years before killing them with kitchen utensils. Mrs Treacher became a popular session drummer under the name «D-Tree». Don published his memoirs entitled How Not To Live Your Life. They were later made into a BBC1 sitcom starring James Corden.

Cancellation

Dan Clark has been heard saying to fans after his recent live shows that they are unsure as to whether there will be a fourth series. On 27 May 2011 it was revealed by BBC Three’s Controller Zai Bennett, that the show had been cancelled along with fellow BBC Three Comedies Coming of Age and Lunch Monkeys. He explained that «They were good to the channel, but have had their time,». According to that statement the Christmas Special of How Not to Live Your Life was the final episode.

Reception

However, Deborah Orr in The Independent newspaper said in a review of the first episode, «It’s a dead cert that How Not to Live Your Life will attract no prizes at all. A great deal of humour can be squeezed from observing the lives of stupid men. But Don Danbury is no David Brent and this new sitcom offers nothing except sound evidence that the BBC has now got more airtime than it can fill. This show is an insult to the intelligence of stupid men everywhere.» [11]

Harry Venning in The Stage said, «Pity poor Sinéad Moynihan. Okay, don’t pity her too much, because she’s drop dead gorgeous and clearly in demand as an actor. But it must have been galling to get the second lead in sitcom How Not to Live Your Life, only to discover that the full extent of your contribution would be to look pretty and provide a sensible foil to the show’s writer/star Dan Clark. Would it have killed Clark to throw the show’s only female character the occasional funny line to deliver? This grump notwithstanding, I rather like How Not to Live Your Life. Clark’s unorthodox delivery, combined with Don’s almost wilful unloveability, takes some getting used to, but this is consistently amusing, frequently hilarious and totally addictive.» [12]

Live your life

Живи своей жизнью

Ay. this a special what’s happenin’ to all my
All my soldiers over there in Iraq
E’rybody right here
What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got,
You know what I’m saying?
Stop lookin’ at what you ain’t got
Start bein’ thankful for what you do got
Let’s give it to ’em baby girl, hey

You’re gonna be, a shinin’ star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you’ll see, you’re gonna go far
Cause everyone knows, just who ya are-are
So live your life (AYY! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
You steady chasin’ that paper
Just live your life (OHH! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
Ain’t got no time for no haters
Just live your life (AYY! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
No tellin’ where it’ll take ya
Just live your life (OHH! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
Cause I’m a paper chaser
Just livin’ my life (AYY) my life (OHH)
My life (AYY) my life (OHH)
Just livin’ my life (AYY) my life (OHH)
My life (AYY) my life (OHH) just livin’ my life

Hey, never mind what haters say,
ignore ’em ’til they fade away
Amazing they ungrateful after all the game I gave away
Safe to say I paved the way for you cats to get paid today
You’d still be wastin’ days away now had I never saved the day
Consider them my protege, homage I think they should pay
Instead of bein’ gracious, they violate in a major way
I never been a hater, still,
I love ’em in a crazy way
Some say they sold the yay’
you know they couldn’t get work on Labor Day
It ain’t that black and white, it has an area the shade of gray
I’m Westside anyway, even if I left today and stayed away
Some move away to make a way,
not move away cause they afraid
I brought back to the hood,
and all you ever did was take away
I pray for patience but they make me wanna melt they face away
Like I once made ’em spray,
now I could make ’em put the K’s away
Been thuggin’ all my life, can’t say I don’t deserve to take a break
You’d rather see me catch a case
and watch my future fade away

You’re gonna be, a shinin’ star
In fancy clothes, and fancy car-ars
And then you’ll see, you’re gonna go far
Cause everyone knows, just who ya are-are
So live your life (AYY! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
[You steady chasin’ that paper]
Just live your life (OHH! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
Ain’t got no time for no haters
Just live your life (AYY! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
No tellin’ where it’ll take ya
Just live your life (OHH! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
Cause I’m a paper chaser
Just livin’ my life (AYY) my life (OHH)
My life (AYY) my life (OHH)
Just livin’ my life (AYY) my life (OHH)
My life (AYY) my life (OHH) just livin’ my life

I’m the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with
The spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid
Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics
Articulate, but still I’ll grab a nigga by the collar quick
Whoever havin’ problems with their record sales just holler Tip
If that don’t work and all else fails then turn around and follow Tip
I got love for the game, but ay I’m not in love with all of it
Could do without the fame,
and rappers nowadays are comedy
The hootin’ and the hollerin’, back and forth with the arguin’
Where you from, who you know,
what you make and what kind of car you in
Seems as though you lost sight of what’s important when depositin’
Them checks into your bank account, and you up out of poverty
Your values is a disarray, prioritizin’ horribly
Unhappy with the riches cause you’re piss poor morally
Ignorin’ all prior advice and forewarnin’
And we mighty full of ourselves all of a sudden, aren’t we?

You’re gonna be, a shinin’ star
In fancy clothes, and fancy cars
And then you’ll see, you’re gonna go far
Cause everyone knows, just who ya are-are
So live your life (AYY! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
You steady chasin’ that paper
Just live your life (OHH! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
Ain’t got no time for no haters
Just live your life (AYY! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
No tellin’ where it’ll take ya
Just live your life (OHH! Ayyy ayyy ayyy)
Cause I’m a paper chaser
Just livin’ my life (AYY) my life (OHH)
My life (AYY) my life (OHH)
Just livin’ my life (AYY) my life (OHH)
My life (AYY) my life (OHH) just livin’ my life

Got everybody watchin’ what I do, come walk in my shoes
And see the way I’m livin’ if you really want to
Got my mind on my money
And I’m not goin’ awayyyyyyy
So keep on gettin’ your paper, and keep on climbin’
Look in the mirror, and keep on shinin’ (shinin’)
Until the game ends, ’til the clock stop
We gon’ post up on the top spot
Livin’ the life, the life
In the Windmill City got my whole team with me
The life, my life
I do it how I wanna do
I’m livin’ my life, my life
I will never lose
I’m livin’ my life, my life
And I’ll never stop it
(So live your life)

Эй! Это посвящается всем, кто прошёл то же, что и я
Всем солдатам в Ираке
Всем, кто слушает меня
Будьте благодарны за жизнь, которую имеете,
сечёте?
Перестаньте жаловаться на то, чего у вас нет
Начните гордиться тем, что имеете
Давай покажем им детка, эй!

Когда ты засияешь как звезда
В модной одежде и с шикарными тачками
Ты поймёшь, что далеко пойдёшь
Ведь все знают, кто ты
Так что живи своей жизнью (Эй! Эй, эй, эй)
Ты выбрал путь роскоши
Просто живи своей жизнью (У! Эй, эй, эй)
У тебя нет времени отвечать всем ненавистникам
Просто живи своей жизнью (Эй! Эй, эй, эй)
Нельзя предугадать, куда она тебя приведёт
Просто живи своей жизнью (У! Эй, эй, эй)
Я живу ради денег
Ведь я просто живу своей жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!)
Жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!)
Просто живу своей жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!)
Жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!) просто живу своей жизнью

Когда ты засияешь как звезда
В модной одежде и с шикарными тачками
Ты поймёшь, что далеко пойдёшь
Ведь все знают, кто ты
Так что живи своей жизнью (Эй! Эй, эй, эй)
Ты выбрал путь роскоши
Просто живи своей жизнью (У! Эй, эй, эй)
У тебя нет времени отвечать всем ненавистникам
Просто живи своей жизнью (Эй! Эй, эй, эй)
Нельзя предугадать, куда она тебя приведёт
Просто живи своей жизнью (У! Эй, эй, эй)
Я живу ради денег
Ведь я просто живу своей жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!)
Жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!)
Просто живу своей жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!)
Жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!) просто живу своей жизнью

Я совсем не паинька, и я не идеальный
Во мне свободный дух и свэг студента колледжа
Аллергия к подделкам и безразличие к политике
Я хорошо веду диалог, но в харю дать могу
У кого не продаются альбомы, зовите Tip 4
Если и это не поможет, тогда просто следуйте за Tip
Я люблю рэп-игру, но не всё, что она приносит,
Я могу существовать и без славы,
и рэперы сейчас — просто клоуны
Кричат и издают звуки, ссорятся для вида
Всем так важно, откуда ты, с кем общаешься
Чем занимаешься, на каких тачках разъезжаешь.
Похоже все забыли, что было важно, когда всё только начиналось
Тебе переводят бабки на счёт и ты уже миллионер
Ты дорожишь хаосом и ужасно расставленными приоритетами
Недоволен богатством, потому что морально нищий,
Игнорируешь все советы и предупреждения,
И мы стали так самоуверенны внезапно, не так ли?

Когда ты засияешь как звезда
В модной одежде и с шикарными тачками
Ты поймёшь, что далеко пойдёшь
Ведь все знают, кто ты
Так что живи своей жизнью (Эй! Эй, эй, эй)
Ты выбрал путь роскоши
Просто живи своей жизнью (У! Эй, эй, эй)
У тебя нет времени отвечать всем ненавистникам
Просто живи своей жизнью (Эй! Эй, эй, эй)
Нельзя предугадать, куда она тебя приведёт
Просто живи своей жизнью (У! Эй, эй, эй)
Я живу ради денег
Ведь я просто живу своей жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!)
Жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!)
Просто живу своей жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!)
Жизнью (Эй!) жизнью (У!) просто живу своей жизнью

Все смотрят на мою жизнь, пусть представят себя в моей шкуре
Глянь, как я живу, если ты хочешь также
Я думаю лишь о деньгах
И без них я не уйду
Так что я продолжаю их зарабатывать и лезть выше
Смотрю в зеркало и вижу сияние
Пока игра не закончится и часы не замрут
Мы будем сидеть на вершине
И прожигать свою жизнь
Моя команда на земле ветряных мельниц 3
Это моя жизнь
Я проживаю её как хочу
Я живу своей жизнью
И я никогда не проиграю
Я живу своей жизнью
И я никогда не остановлюсь
(Так живи своей жизнью)

В песне содержится сэмпл из песни молдавской группы O-Zone «Dragostea din tei».

Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.
