[00:00.54]Ladies and gentlemen
[00:05.00]Wear sunscreen
[00:08.00]
[00:10.00]If I could offer you only one tip for the future
[00:14.80]Sunscreen would be it
[00:19.80]The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
[00:24.80]Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis or reliable, Than my own meandering experience
[00:34.80]I will dispense this advice now
[00:40.20]Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
[00:44.80]You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth ,until they've faded
[00:49.30]But trust me,
[00:50.70]In 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself
[00:54.00]recall in a way you can't grasp now
[00:57.00]How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked
[01:02.80]You are not as fat as you imagine
[01:11.00]Don't worry about the future, or worry
[01:13.80]But know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum
[01:20.80]The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
[01:26.80]The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday
[01:32.00]***
[01:35.00]Enjoy the rhythm.
[02:00.00]***
[02:01.20]Do one thing every day that scares you
[02:06.10]Don't be reckless with other people's hearts
[02:08.70]Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours
[02:12.40]Floss
[02:13.86]Don't waste your time on jealousy
[02:16.50]Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind
[02:21.20]The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself
[02:26.40]Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults
[02:31.10]If you succeed in doing this, tell me how
[02:34.70]Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements
[02:40.00]Stretch
[02:42.30]Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life
[02:45.60]The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
[02:51.30]Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't
[02:55.80]Get plenty of calcium
[02:57.60]Be kind to your knees
[02:59.30]You'll miss them when they're gone
[03:01.80]Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't
[03:04.50]Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't
[03:06.80]Maybe you'll divorce at 40,
[03:08.80]Maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken' on your 75th wedding anniversary
[03:13.20]Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much
[03:16.80]Or berate yourself either
[03:18.60]Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's
[03:22.80]***
[03:23.00]Enjoy the rhythm again.
[04:05.00]***
[04:05.60]Enjoy your body, use it every way you can
[04:09.30]Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it
[04:12.20]It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own
[04:15.20]Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
[04:20.00]Read the directions even if you don't follow them
[04:22.60]Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
[04:27.80]Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good
[04:33.10]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
[04:40.50]Understand that friends come and go
[04:43.30]But a precious few, who should hold on
[04:47.70]Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
[04:52.00]For as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young
[04:58.10]Live in New York City once but leave before it makes you hard
[05:02.60]Live in northern California once but leave before it makes you soft
[05:08.00]Travel
[05:09.30]Accept certain inalienable truths
[05:12.60]Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you, too, will get old
[05:18.10]And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young
[05:21.50]Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble
[05:24.80]And children respected their elders
[05:28.30]Respect your elders
[05:30.80]Don't expect anyone else to support you
[05:34.00]Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse
[05:37.80]But you never know when either one might run out
[05:41.70]Don't mess too much with your hair
[05:43.80]Or by the time you're 40 it will look 85
[05:47.80]***
[05:49.77]Enjoy the rhythm one more time.
[06:18.81]***
[06:19.00]Be careful whose advice you buy
[06:21.40]But
[06:22.30]Be patient with those who supply it
[06:24.79]Advice is a form of nostalgia,
[06:27.81]dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,
[06:31.80]wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
[06:35.30]And recycling it for more than it's worth
[06:39.80]But trust me on the sunscreen
[06:44.00]
