Wisdom from Anita Roddick – founder of Body shop
If I know I am dying, I would like to be like Anita Roddick (Body Shop founder). Well, even if I don’t know I’m dying, there’s no reason not to share her wisdom on how to live! To quote her “I could be facing liver cancer tomorrow. It makes me more determined to just get on with things”. She contracted Hepatitis C due to a blood transfusion.
The sad part about reality is that death is a certainty. We are all going to die one day. So how is our not knowing about when death knocks change the way we “get on with things”? Why can’t we just get on with things, period? Knowing that death is just round the corner doesn’t actually give you any new information about death itself. You will still die, and you still need to get on with life. So go on, get on with life, don’t wait to find out that death is round the corner, because that possibility has always been there, and death itself has always been a certainty.
