Song Title: Everyone's (To Wear Sunscreen) Baz Luhrman
Ladies and Gentlemen of the of '99. Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own experience... I will dispense advice now
Enjoy the power and beauty of your oh, nevermind, you will not the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years you'll back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are NOT as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an equation by chewing bubblegum. The real toubles in life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday
Do one thing that scares you.
Don't be reckless other peoples hearts. put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.
compliments you recieve. the insults. If you suceed in this, tell me how.
Keep old love letters. away your old bank statements.
Do not feel guilty if you don't what you wanna do with your life,... the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most 40 year olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of
Be kind to your knees, you'll them when they're gone
Maybe marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll at 40. Maybe you'll dance the chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.... Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself - your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body, use it way you can... don't be of it, or what other people think of it... it's the instrument you'll ever own.
Dance... even if you have nowhere to do it but in own living room.
Read the directions, if you don't follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines they will only you feel UGLY.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; They're your best link to past, and the people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand friends come and go, but for the precious few you should on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the you knew when you were young.
Live in New City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern once, but, leave before it makes you soft.
Accept certain truths. Prices will rise, Politicians philander, you too will get old. And you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected elders.
Respect your
Don't expect anyone to support you. Maybe you'll have a trust fund, maybe you'll a wealthy spouse; but you never when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice 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 more than its worth.
But me on the sunscreen.
