Words Matter: Gratitude and New Goals

The Sanremo Festival continues to be talked about, between rankings and small controversies. But of all the words spent we like to give space to those pronounced by Bianca Balti, the super Italian top among the protagonists of the event: "It was a huge emotion. How beautiful life is" she wrote while on the plane returning to Los Angeles, where she lives. Knowing how to be grateful and seize the positive moments of existence is a very powerful message, and we like to start from here.

French diva Marion Cotillard makes a statement that might seem like it’s the preserve of stars only, but it can be applied to each and every one of us, just replace the word “public” with “followers”: “Whether it’s positive or negative feedback, the relationship with the public is always a totally distorted mirror.”

Elodie 's words speak of integrity, observing how giving in to the desire to please everyone is ultimately a surrender: "Hiding a part of yourself means giving reason to those who don't like you"

The new star of K-Pop Rosè is becoming popular all over the world with her song Apt. (Yes, you have heard it and you are humming it too, more or less unconsciously) What system does she use to measure her popularity? It's simple: "I enjoy checking on search engines whether I or the wine comes out first"

The famous conductor Riccardo Muti provides a great tip on how to achieve success: “Destiny knocked on my door and I opened it. The only thing I can proudly claim is that destiny always found me ready.” Got it?

And always thanks to fate, or a genetic predisposition, Serena Dandini remembers that she made people laugh even as a girl, and we can also use this to our advantage: let's remember to use the weapons at our disposal: "I didn't have the features of Twiggy, but I made people laugh: it was my sword Excalibur".

This week, one of the world's most popular models, Rianne Van Rompey , has also made headlines, as she has decided to stop modeling. The reason is very intimate, and makes us understand how everything, absolutely everything, is relative, especially appearance: "I don't want to try to be perfect anymore. I want to be crude."

Star Charlize Theron generously shows us how seemingly banal gestures can help us defeat anxiety: “Life is crazy, it’s frenetic, but if you establish a routine for yourself and are diligent in following it, it gives you a sense of control in the chaos”. So let’s never forget to dedicate ourselves to ourselves, regularly.

And we come to one of the most notable statements of the week: that of Rkomi , who says: “Perhaps it is not clear what I am saying, but my work is to break down even language, to break up words and to undermine the fact of being able to be understood in order to touch that solitude in which you at least try to understand who you are”.

If you didn't get it, you're not the only one, it's a beautiful example of a convoluted pike declaration. However, if you use Ariana Grande's method, know that it will make you laugh a lot: "A sense of humor is a fundamental role in my "survival kit", I cling to it with all my strength".
