Ladies and gentlemen of the of 2007, wear sunscreen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, would be it The term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable Than my own meandering experience, I will dispense advice now
Enjoy the power and beauty of youth, oh, never mind You will understand the power And the beauty of your youth they've faded But trust me, in years You will look at photos of yourself
And recall in a way you grasp now How possibility lay before you And how you really looked You are not as fat as you
Don't worry the future or worry that know that worrying Is as affective as trying to an algebra equation By chewing gum The real in your life are apt to be things never crossed your worried mind The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some Tuesday
Do one thing every day scares you, sing Don't be reckless with peoples' hearts Don't put up people who are reckless with yours, floss Don't your time on jealousy Sometimes ahead, sometimes you're behind The race is long and in the end, only with yourself
Remember compliments you receive, the insults If you succeed in doing this, me how Keep your old letters, throw away your old bank statements, stretch feel guilty if you don't know what to do with your life
The most interesting I know didn't at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I still don't Get of calcium Be kind to knees, you'll miss them when gone

your body, use it every way you can Don't be afraid of it or what other think of it It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own, Even if you have nowhere to do it but own living room Read the directions even if you don't them Do not beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
Brother and sister will make it through Someday a spirit take you and guide you there I know you've been hurting, but I've waiting to be there for you And I'll be just helping you out, whenever I can
Get to your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good Be to your siblings, they are your best link to your past And the people most to stick with you in the future that friends come and go But a few, who should hold on
Work to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle For as the older you get, the more you need the You when you were young Live in New York City once, but leave it makes you hard in northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft
Travel, certain inalienable truths Prices will rise, will philander, you too will get old And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you young were reasonable, politicians were noble And respected their elders
Respect your elders, don't expect else to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy But never know when either one will run out mess too much with your hair or by the time you're forty It look eighty-five Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with who supply it
is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of Wishing the past from the disposal, it off Painting over the ugly and recycling for more than it's worth But trust me on the
