| In 2005, Kate Winslet was named one of PEOPLE magazine’s Most Beautiful People. But even then, at age 29, Winslet had a remarkably grounded view of beauty. When asked what made her feel beautiful, she said, “The happiness I feel in having a family has brought me a real beauty.” |
| Nearly two decades later, Winslet’s take on beauty is even more revealing of her down-to-earth character. In a video sit-down with Harper’s Bazaar UK, the 49-year-old actor shared some of her life lessons on different topics, and in responding to what she’s learned about beauty. |

But that knowledge is what gives life meaning,” she says. And it’s true: The fact that our lives will end makes the time we spend on this planet much more meaningful. |
| You only have so much time on this planet; how will you choose to spend it? What goals will you pursue? Who will you help? What will you contribute? What will your job be? Who will you spend your time with? |

| It works for parties, work and relationships. |
| One thing that makes people anxious when they have to make small talk is that they feel compelled to be interesting and put on a show. They think they have to wow the person they’re talking to with their wit, insights and stories. |
| However, Matt Abrahams, a Stanford communications expert and host of the “Think Fast, Talk Smart” podcast, says that people shouldn’t feel pressured to be interesting at all. |
