— Tamino for De Standaard, March 2017 (x) (Original Dutch text)

"What would you later wish you had done now?"

THE FIVE LIFE LESSONS FROM TAMINO

1. Don't compromise

'How much of human life is lost in waiting?' Ralph Waldo Emerson once wondered. Especially when you are young, you have to go for your desires and ambitions. You have to dare to dream and dare to make those dreams come true. It prevents you from regretting all the lost opportunities one day. So regularly imagine how you will look back later today: what do you wish you had done now? And then do that. That is why I am now taking a break from my education at the conservatory in Amsterdam to concentrate completely on my music. If I continued to combine both, I would do everything half – then I would only be half a version of myself.'

2. There is no such thing as wasted love

‘Love makes life and without love nothing matters. So don't be afraid to love. There are things you can only learn about yourself by allowing someone else into the most intimate places of your heart. It fascinates me how something so abstract and elusive is the most beautiful thing that can happen in a human life.'

3. Take stick insects as pets

'Walking branches are simply the best insects on earth: it is a branch and it walks. I find that incredibly funny. A friend of mine once had it in a jar. When I visited him, I always thought they were fantastic to watch. The next stick insect I come across, I'll take it with me.'

4. What you radiate, you get back

'When you face life with confidence, things fall into place faster than if you are guided by fear. People are also less likely to walk all over you. The same goes for the stage. Since I'm a bit more sure of myself, I'm able to get my music across better. If you have an idea of who you are, you attract the right things. It's pretty crazy how that works.'

5. Put the screen away and grab a book more often, unless you're reading on your tablet

'There is so much to get out of books… I also enjoy film, but I rarely feel that a film has an impact longer than the day I saw it. A book, on the other hand, can stay with me for years. Palace of Desire by Nagieb Mahfouz, for example, tells a sad, but very beautiful story about how some things are simply not predestined, something that doesn't have to be a bad thing, because then other things can happen.'

'The collection of short stories Mirrors of the soul by Kahlil Gibran is also inspiring. Gibran's romance is anything but naive. He uses romance as a protest against a cruel, indifferent world. What Charles Bukowski has written seems to be the opposite of romance, but somewhere under the drink and his walk from one woman to another, I think a romantic soul was hidden. I read his work as an investigation into that kind of life – although I don't want to copy his lifestyle at all (laughs).'
