Everybody's Free (To
Wear Sunscreen)
Baz Luhrmann - Mary Schmich lyrics
From the book Wear
Sunscreen , and the CD Something
for Everyone
.......................
Wear
sunscreen.
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, never
mind . You will not understand the power and beauty of your
youth 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 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 algebra
equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your
life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried
mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle
Tuesday.
Do one thing every day 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 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.
S--T--R--E--T--C--H
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. 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 of 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 your
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 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 who knew you 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'll 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.
