Ladies and gentlemen of the of '99 Wear
If I offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it The long-term benefits of sunscreen have proved by scientists Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis reliable Than my own meandering experience, I will dispense advice now
Enjoy the power and of your youth, oh, never mind You not understand the power and beauty of your youth Until they've faded but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look At of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now How possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked You are not as fat as you
Don't about the future Or know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing gum The real troubles in your are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind The kind blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday Do one every day that scares you

Don't be with other people's hearts Don't put up with people who are with yours
Don't waste your time on Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes behind The race is long and in the end, only with yourself Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults, if you in doing this, tell me how Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what wanted to do with their lives of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't Get plenty of Be to your knees You'll miss when they're gone
you'll marry, maybe you won't Maybe you'll have children, maybe you Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe dance the 'Funky Chicken' On your 75th wedding Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too Or berate yourself Your choices are half chance, so are else's
your body, use it every way you can Don't be afraid of it or what other people of it It's the greatest instrument you'll own Dance, even if you nowhere to do it but your own living room Read the directions even if you don't follow Do not read beauty magazines, they will only you feel ugly

Get to know your parents, you never when they'll be gone for good Be nice to your siblings, your best link to your past And the people most likely to stick with you in the
Understand that come and go But a precious few, who hold on
Work hard to bridge the gaps in and lifestyle For as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were Live in New City once but leave before it makes you hard Live in northern once but leave before it makes you soft
Accept inalienable truths Prices rise, politicians will philander, you, too, will get old And when you do, you'll fantasize when you were young Prices were reasonable, politicians noble And respected their elders
Respect your
Don't expect anyone else to you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe have a wealthy spouse But you never when either one might run out
Don't mess too with your hair Or by the time 40 it will look 85
Be careful whose advice you buy but be patient those who supply it Advice is a form of nostalgia, it is a way of fishing the past From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the parts And recycling it for more it's worth
But me on the sunscreen
