• 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.
