I WILL DISPENSE THIS ADVICE NOW
Enjoy the power and beauty of your y o u t h
Never mind, you will NOT understand
the power and beauty of your y o u t h
until they’ve faded But trust me,
in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall
in a way you can’t grasp
Ladies & Gentlemen of the
Class of ’97,
wear sunscreenIf I could offer you
O N L Y O N E tip for the f u t u r e ,
sunscreen would be itThe
long term benefits of sunscreen
have been P R O V E D by scientists
Whereas the rest of my advice
has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience
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 f u t u r e -
Or worry, but know that worrying
is as effective as trying to solve
algebra equationsby chewing gum.
The real troubles in your life are apt
to be things that NEVERcrossed your worried mind,The kind that b l i n d s i d e you
at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday
Don’t worry about the future
Do that scares you
Sing
Don’t with other peoples’ hearts
Don’t who are reckless with yours
Floss
Don’t on jealousy
Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind
T h e r a c e i s l o n g , and in the end
it’s only with yourself
Remember compliments you’ve received, forget the insults
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how
Some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t Get plenty of calcium -
Be kind to your knees: you’ll miss them when they’re gone
you’ll marry, you won’t
you’ll have children, you won’t
you’ll divorce at you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary
MAYBE 40
Keep your old love letters,
throw away your old b a n k s t a t e m e n t s
S t r e t c h
Don’t feel guiltyif you don’t know what
you want to do with your
LIFEThe most interesting people I know
didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
Whatever you do
don’t congratulate yourself too much,or berate yourself either
Your choices are half chance:
so are everybody else’s
Enjoy your body: use it every way you can
Don’t be afraid of it or what other people think of it
It’s the GREATEST instrument you’ll ever own
- D a n c e
Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them
Do not read beauty magazines: they will only make you feel ugly

Get to know your parents: you never know when they’ll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings: they’re your best link to your past
And the people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go - But with a p r e c i o u s few you should hold on

Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support youMaybe you’ll have a trust fund,
maybe you’ll have a wealthy spouseBut you never know
when either one might
run out.Don’t mess too much with your hair,
or by the time you’re 40
it will look 85
Be careful whose advice 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, w i p i n g i t o f f , painting over the ugly parts and recycling it
for more than it’s worth
But trust me on the sunscreen…
