Bob Hoskins Last Message Before He Died
 
Bob Hoskins’ Rules for a Happy Life:
-They’re the Sweet and Inspirational Life Lessons the Star Gave his Daughter Before he Died.

-RAY CONNOLLY says we’d all be wise to follow them

  • Hoskins' individual approach was distilled in 'Eleven Lessons for Life' list
  • Late actor wrote the list for his daughter Rosa who revealed tips this week
  • Much-loved British actor passed away from pneumonia on Tuesday
By Daily Mail, 4 May 2014


Bob Hoskins doesn’t spring to mind as one of life’s philosophers. The late actor didn’t have the looks or voice for it. But what he did have was common sense.
His fittingly individual approach was distilled in the ‘Eleven Lessons In Life’ he wrote for his daughter Rosa and which she revealed this week after his death from pneumonia on Tuesday.
As a list, it may not quite rank alongside the Ten Commandments or the Seven Beatitudes as a guide on how to live our lives. But as a rough guide on muddling through with good intentions, it’s hard to beat.

I have a daughter, too. Her name is Louise, and if she were to one day make a record of the life lessons that she (and her brothers) inherited from me, the list wouldn’t be that far from Bob’s.

Obviously, laughter would be top of my list, too. Whether it’s quietly joking at the eccentricities and unreasonable demands of those who believe they know better or owning up to our own little vanities and absurdities, humour gets us all through the day.
Let’s face it, the human condition is often little more than small-scale tragi-comedy, to which we all know the inevitable end.

‘Laugh long and loud and make other people laugh,’ Bob recommended, offering a recipe long known for relieving pain, burning up calories, lowering the risk of heart disease and sending feel-good oxytocin hormones charging through the bloodstream.
Whatever we do, we mustn’t take ourselves too seriously.
We should approach our work with all seriousness, certainly, but no one likes a boring, pompous, self-loving, mirror-watching prig — unless as a figure of fun to be secretly laughed at.
Being an actor and therefore an extrovert

Bob’s advice was to be flamboyant, eccentric, unique.
‘Don’t try to adapt yourself to someone else’s view of normal’; ‘Don’t worry about other people’s opinions.’

He must have had the armour of an armadillo. Most of us aren’t as thick-skinned. He assumed that if someone doesn’t like you they must be ‘stupid’, ‘blind’ or have ‘bad taste’.
That may have worked for him. But in the more tortured, lonely writing profession, it strikes me that if one is evidently disliked, then a few ruminations as to why that might be the case could be called for.
I must be honest. ‘Have I behaved like a complete prat?’ has, on occasion, been a question that has troubled me into the small hours. And, sadly, sometimes I recognise that I have. Must try harder next time, I think, and go to sleep.

And talking of rest, I’d like to add to Bob’s list that if we’ve fallen out with someone we love — partner, child, parent or best friend — we should always try to make up before the lights go out.
Never dwell on silent, bubbling bitterness. It’ll taste worse the next day.
And never, ever, as I have sometimes done, rattle off an email or letter in a rage late at night, no matter how justified it might seem at the time.
Sleep on it. Things may not always look better in the morning, but they nearly always look different. As the years have gone by, it has become clear to me — and, apparently, did to Bob, too — that whatever we do we should do it to the best of our ability.
