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

Don't be reckless with other hearts Don't put up with who are reckless with yours
Don't waste your on jealousy Sometimes you're ahead, you're behind The is long and in the end, it's only with yourself Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults, if you in doing this, tell me how Keep old love letters, throw away your old bank statements
Don't feel guilty if you don't what you want to do with your life. The most people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still Get plenty of Be to your knees You'll miss them when they're

that friends come and go But a precious few, who should 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 York once but leave before it makes you hard Live in California once but leave before it makes you soft
Accept certain inalienable Prices will rise, politicians philander, you, too, will get old And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were Prices were reasonable, politicians were And children respected their
Respect your
Don't expect anyone to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe have a wealthy spouse But you know when either one might run out
Don't mess too much with hair Or by the time you're 40 it will 85
Be careful whose you buy but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past From the disposal, wiping it off, painting the ugly parts And recycling it for more than it's
But me on the sunscreen
