2
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97. Wear sunscreen.
3
If I could offer you one tip for the future, sunscreen
4
would be it. The
5
long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
6
scientists whereas the
7
rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my
8
own meandering
9
experience... I will dispense this advice now
10
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh,
11
nevermind, you will not
12
understand the power and beauty of your youth until
13
they've faded. But trust
14
me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself
15
and recall in a way
16
you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before
17
you and how fabulous
18
you really looked. You are NOT as fat as you imagine.
19
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that
20
worrying is as
21
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by
22
chewing bubblegum. The
23
real toubles in life are apt to be things that never
24
crossed your worried
25
mind; the kind the blindside you at 4pm on some idle
26
Tuesday
27
Do one thing everyday that scares you.
28
Sing.
29
Don't be reckless with other peoples hearts. Don't
30
put up with people who
31
are reckless with yours.
32
Floss.
33
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're
34
ahead, sometimes you're
35
behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with
36
yourself.
37
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the
38
insults. If you suceed in doing
39
this, tell me how.
40
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank
41
statements.
42
Stretch.
43
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do
44
with your life.
45
the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22
46
what they wanted to do
47
with their lives, some of the most ineresting 40 year
48
olds I know still
49
don't.
50
Get plenty of calcium.
51
Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're
52
gone.
53
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll
54
have children, maybe you
55
won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40. Maybe you'll dance
56
the funky chicken on
57
your 75th wedding anniversary.... Whatever you do,
58
don't congratulate
59
yourself too much or berate yourself either - your
60
choices are half chance,
61
so are everybody else's
62
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can... don't be
63
afraid of it, or what
64
other people think of it... it's the greatest instrument
65
you'll ever own.
66
Dance... even if you have nowhere else to do it but in
67
your own living room.
68
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
69
Do NOT read beauty magazines they will only make
70
you feel UGLY.
71
CHORUS
72
Brother and sister together we'll make it through.
73
Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there.
74
I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you.
75
And I'll be there just helping you out whenever I can.
76
Get to know your parents, you never know when they
77
might be gone for good.
78
Be nice to your siblings; They're your best link to your
79
past, and the
80
people most likely to stick with you in the future
81
Understand that friends come and go, except for the
82
precious few you should
83
hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography
84
and lifestyle because the
85
older you get, the more you need the people you knew
86
when you were young.
87
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes
88
you hard. Live in
89
Northern California once, but, leave before it makes
90
you soft.
91
Travel.
92
Accept certain inalienable truths. Prices will rise,
93
Politicians will
94
philander, you too will get old. And when you do, you'll
95
fantasize that when
96
you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians
97
were noble, and children
98
respected their elders.
99
Respect your elders.
100
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe
101
you'll have a trust fund,
102
maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never
103
know when either one might
104
run out.
105
Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're
106
40, it will look 85.
107
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with
108
those who supply it.
109
Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of
110
fishing the past
111
from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly
112
parts, and
113
recycling it for more than it's worth.
114
But trust me on the sunscreen.
115
CHORUS
116
Everybody's free. Everybody's free.
