If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest
of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice...now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have
faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look 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’re 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 algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your
worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Sing.
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are
reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if
you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to 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 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.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t,
maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever 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..
Dance…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 are the best link to your past and the people most likely
to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold
on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were
young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard;
live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you
soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young
prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but
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, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen… |
