It's a list of things one realizes later in life, written by JMJ:
Genieße die Gegenwart: Nostalgie ist ein Irrtum.

Lass deine Angst zu, sie motiviert dich zum Denken.

Vertraue deinen Kindern, auch wenn du an ihren Plänen zweifelst.

Sag öfter mal lange einfach nichts.

Erfolg schafft falsche Erwartungen.

Neue Musik sollte auch neu klingen.

Sei dankbar, wenn du das Gefühl hast, dass dir etwas gelungen ist.

Streite mit deinen Eltern nur von Angesicht zu Angesicht.

Du musst keinem richtigen Job nachgehen, wenn du eine bessere Idee hast.

Akzeptiere kein Nein, solange du dir deiner Sache sicher bist.

Setze nie die Einwohner eines Landes mit einer politischen Ideologie gleich.

Neue Technik schafft neue Welten.

Vergiss nicht, dass ein Boykott auch die falschen Leute trifft.

Denke bei Kunst nie daran, ob sie für dreißig oder dreißigtausend Menschen interessant sein könnte.

Ein Künstler muss sich bei anderer Kunst bedienen, um zu etwas Eigenem zu finden.

Was ich gern früher gewusst hätte

Ein abwesender Vater fördert frühe Charakterbildung.

Das Unbekannte zu erforschen ist der Schlüssel zu allem Kreativen.

Vergiss nicht, dass Synthesizer mehr wiegen als Geigen.

Zerbrich dir nicht den Kopf über die Zukunft, sie bleibt ein Geheimnis.

Google translate:
Enjoy the present: Nostalgia is a fallacy.

Allow your fear to motivate you to think.

Trust your children, even if you doubt their plans.

Sometimes you just don't say anything for a long time.

Success creates false expectations.

New music should also sound new.

Be grateful when you feel like you have achieved something.

Only argue with your parents face to face.

You don't have to work a real job if you have a better idea.

Don't take no for an answer as long as you're sure about it.

Never equate the people of a country with a political ideology.

New technology creates new worlds.

Don't forget that a boycott also affects the wrong people.

When thinking about art, never think about whether it might be of interest to thirty or thirty thousand people.

An artist has to borrow from other art in order to find something of his own.

What I wish I had known earlier

An absent father promotes early character formation.

Exploring the unknown is the key to anything creative.

Don't forget that synthesizers weigh more than violins.

Don't worry about the future, it remains a secret.
By Jean Michel Jarre
