Do you know that feeling when you're riding in a crowded subway after a stuffy workday, flipping through the feed, and there's another perfect woman with impeccable hair telling you how easy it is to be successful and resourceful? Usually, at such moments, you just want to hang up the phone. But with May Musk, the story is a little different, Ukr.Media reports.
She's 77, a model, a nutritionist, and she looks like she knows some secret. Her biography isn't your typical glossy bubblegum about how you just have to believe in yourself. It's more like a conversation with an experienced friend who's also made mistakes, made mistakes, and sometimes didn't know how to make ends meet.
May laughs at the fact that at fifteen she was predicted to be dead before she reached adulthood. And as a result, it was her gray hair that made her a superstar when she was over seventy. Her recipe is banal: be so busy doing what brings you joy that you stupidly have no time to worry about wrinkles.
For those who are used to gnawing away at perfect results at the cost of nervous breakdowns, she has some great advice. Don't try to be the best at absolutely everything. Do what works well. I especially like her idea about how we will be remembered. May says she would prefer to see the inscription “She was fun to be with.”
When it comes to style and all that wardrobe torment, her logic is ruthless in its simplicity: if you don’t have taste, just befriend those who do. I love that directness. She also advises you to budget for clothes, a hairdresser, and a dentist. Although it sounds like advice from a woman in a white coat, especially when you look at the prices in stores.
Our self-esteem will hit rock bottom and rise again, it's inevitable. But May reassures us: over the years, we seem to learn to bounce back from that rock bottom more quickly. You just stop wasting time on long thoughts. If they offer something interesting or fun, she says “yes” without hesitation.
Sometimes the bottom is truly scary. Musk speaks frankly about nine years in a marriage where there was physical violence. Her conclusion is harsh: you have to escape from there, without illusions or hopes, simply to survive and save your children.
Her philosophy boils down to very mundane things: keep your back straight, don't be afraid of gray hair, take care of your teeth, and always have an escape plan if something goes wrong.
