Nobody is perfect!
Do you dislike something about you? Do you even have complexes because of it? That's what the Supertwins advice you: "Don't deal severly with you. Nobody is perfect. Think about it. Your look and your character will chance a few times", said Tom. That means: If you are now a very shy person, it may look quite different in few years. "If people disrespect you because of your clothes, realise, that there is more to it than expensive designer-clothes", said Bill. "In the past I have always sewn myself cool outfits from second-hand-clothes. Be creative!"
Search for like-minded people!
It is tough to be on your own. You need people who support you. Bill: "Because of being twins, we have the great advantages of being always in pairs. Alone, we would be only half as confident." For those, who have no twin, look for an ally. "There is always somebody who has to deal with the same problem. You are never alone." But you don't need an army. Bill: "It is always better to have one or two best friends, who support you, than twenty who perhabs slander about you. If nothing work out, look for some help from your parents or teachers."
Screw on haters!
To be an outsider, is not so bad! Tom: "We have always been different! Just because of our looks! That's why many people disliked us at school! So what, we also liked only a few people! But we soon realized that this is a good thing! Because we love to be different" With this in mind, it was much easier for the twins! "Screw about what others think! Who cares...it changes nothing in your life! Much more important is that you are at peace with yourself! You have mistakes and distinguish yourself from the crowd? We like that", said Bill.
You can also do something!
Discover your talents! "Everyone can do something special! It's in you! Whether it's something handcrafted, you can make music or you're creative. Even the most mundane thing can be something special.", advises Bill. "If you have found your skills, be proud, show and promote them! Because maybe you can turn this into something great later! Just like us! We started very early to make music, we rehearsed a lot, we played often gigs - and someday it worked out. You can do that too!!"
Be independent!
You will be particularly strong, if you learn as early as possible to stand on one's own feet. "We have tried to make decisions by ourselves! When we were newcomers, the people of the music business thought they couldn't believe their ears! Because already at the age of 15 we represent our opinion - and came out on top", says Tom. "But begin in a small way! We wanted, for example, no gifts at celebrations like Christmas or birthday - but rather money! For Tom and me it was important to budget ourselves! So that we were able to divide and decide when we buy clothes or use our cell phones. We have also never get much pocket money. It was about 30 euros a month!"
