Ladies and of the class of '99 sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen be it The long-term benefits of have been proved by scientists Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis reliable Than my own meandering experience, I will this advice now
Enjoy the power and of your youth, oh, never mind You not understand the power and beauty of your youth Until faded but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't now How much lay before you and how fabulous you really looked You are not as fat as you
Don't worry the future Or know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an equation by chewing bubble gum The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried The kind that you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday Do one thing every day that you
be reckless with other people's hearts Don't put up with people who are reckless yours
Don't waste time on jealousy Sometimes ahead, sometimes you're behind The race is long and in the end, it's with yourself Remember you receive, forget the insults, if you succeed in doing this, tell me how Keep old love letters, throw away your old bank statements
Don't feel guilty if you know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives Some of the most 40-year-olds I know still don't Get of calcium Be to your knees You'll miss them when gone
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you Maybe you'll children, maybe you won't you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken' On your wedding anniversary Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too Or yourself either Your choices are chance, so are everybody else's
Enjoy your body, use it way you can Don't be afraid of it or what people think of it It's the greatest instrument ever own Dance, even if you nowhere to do it but your own living room the directions even if you don't follow them Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel
Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be for good Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to past And the most likely to stick with you in the future
that friends come and go But a precious few, who hold on
hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle For as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were Live in New York City but leave before it makes you hard Live in California once but leave before it makes you soft
Accept certain truths will rise, politicians will philander, you, too, will get old And when you do, you'll fantasize when you were young Prices were reasonable, politicians were And respected their elders
Respect elders
Don't expect else to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll a wealthy spouse But you never know either one might run out
Don't mess too much with hair Or by the time 40 it will look 85
Be careful advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the parts And recycling it for than it's worth
But me on the sunscreen
