People Waste Boring

More From Jules Renard

Would a minute have mattered? no, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. three minutes, even. you could go to five minutes, perhaps. but that was just it. if you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. so that was that. six o'clock, prompt. every day. read to young sam. no excuses. he'd promised himself that. no excuses. no excuses at all. once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.

Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.

The problem with movies and books is they make evil look glamorous, exciting, when it's no such thing. it's boring and it's depressing and it's stupid. criminals are all after cheap thrills and easy money, and when they get them, all they want is more of the same, over and over. they're shallow, empty, boring people who couldn't give you five minutes of interesting conversation if you had the piss-poor luck to be at a party full of them. maybe some can be monkey-clever, some of the time, but they aren't hardly ever smart.

For young players, their minds are not overloaded. i am 54 with four kids and i do many other things. even if i stopped everything else, spent months working just on chess, for a long match against most of the top players, a classical match, six hours, say, i don't stand a chance. i have a better chance in shorter matches. rapid is 25 minutes, or blitz events where you have five minutes to make a move, or bullet games, where it is one minute. for blitz, five-minutes chess, i would be top ten, top five. but longer games, no chance.

Success is how you collect your minutes. you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. if you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? it doesn't equate... life is made of small pleasures. good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. a moment of touching a friend. happiness is made of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. if you don't have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don't mean anything.

The first cut i do is usually between five and 10 minutes shorter then the cut that we release. anything i think isn't working or might not work, i don't even put it in the director's cut. and usually it's the studio suggesting i put stuff back in, as opposed to studios saying, "you got to lose 40 minutes," they are always saying, "you've got to gain five minutes."

The fact is that the british museum had a complete specimen of a dodo in their collection up until the 18th century - it was actually mummified, skin and all - but in a fit of space-saving zeal, they actually cut off the head and they cut off the feet and they burned the rest in a bonfire.

When you cut human beings down to size, we're really quite simple creatures; food, shelter, warmth, light, heat and you build it up from there really until you finally go gucci shoes or whatever it is or whatever your consumer desires are. all those desires are ultimately, they're about gratification.

There's not gonna be any tuition cuts. there aren't gonna be any drastic reductions in salaries. and in fact when the subject of cuts comes up, the first thing that the opponents of cuts say, "you can't cut this faculty. you can't cut the salaries. you wouldn't save enough money, you can't go there."
