Beau gets his enthusiasm from his father, who according to the RTL program is the face I do not know ‘is the inventor of positive thinking’ and, according to the presenter, ‘sees a ray of sunshine behind every cloud’.
Always being positive sounds euh… positive, but it also has a questionable side according to the 52-year-old. “It is also a form of doping,” Beau writes in his column before listing two events in which positive thinking nearly killed him.
The first is the idea that there really is fresh water on the uninhabited island in the South China Sea. “There wasn’t and it didn’t rain and I lived for three days in the sweltering heat only on leftovers from washed up Coke bottles and the juice from coconuts that were too young, which gave me diarrhea and further dehydrated,” said the presenter.
The second event is a solo sailing trip with a small boat from IJmuiden to Lowestoft, England. Beau: ‘I thought: how hard can that be? In wartime they did it with a rowboat! After 43 hours at sea, the lifeguards had to come and get me two kilometers off the coast of England. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong.’
His recent holiday to Normandy is also not going smoothly, and that has everything to do with the weather. But Beau, positive as he is, is not deterred. Because even though it rains for two weeks, he can’t resist giving it a positive spin: at least the grass is beautifully green. Well, every disadvantage has its advantage.
