He offers great life advice!LyricsLadies and gentlemen of the class of 1997, wear sunscreenIf I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be itThe long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientistsWhereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliableThan my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice nowEnjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mindYou will never understand the powerAnd the beauty of your youth until they’ve fadedBut trust me, in twenty yearsYou will look back at photos of yourselfAnd recall in a way you can’t grasp nowHow much possibility lay before youAnd how fabulous you really lookedYou are not as fat as you imagineDon’t worry about the future or worry that know that worryingIs as affective as trying to solve an algebra equationBy chewing bubble gumThe real troubles in your life are apt to be thingsThat never crossed your worried mindThe kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle TuesdayDo one thing every day that scares you, singDon’t be reckless with other peoples’ heartsDon’t put up with people who are reckless with yours, flossDon’t waste your time on jealousySometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behindThe race is long and in the end, it’s only with yourselfRemember compliments you receive, forget the insultsIf you succeed in doing this, tell me howKeep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements, stretchDon’t feel guilty if you don’t know what to do with your lifeThe most interesting peopleI know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their livesSome of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’tGet plenty of calciumBe kind to knees, you’ll miss them when they’re goneMaybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’tMaybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’tMaybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the “Funky Chicken”On your 75th wedding anniversaryWhatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too muchOr berate yourself eitherYour choices are half chance, so are everybody else’sEnjoy your body, use it every way you canDon’t be afraid of it or what other people think of itIt’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own, danceEven if you have nowhere to do it but your own living roomRead the directions even if you don’t follow themDo not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel uglyBrother and sister together will make it throughSomeday a spirit will take you and guide you thereI know you’ve been hurting, but I’ve been waiting to be there for youAnd I’ll be there just helping you out, whenever I canGet to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for goodBe nice to your siblings, they are your best link to your pastAnd the people most likely to stick with you in the futureUnderstand that friends come and goBut a precious few, who should hold onWork hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyleFor as the older you get, the more you need the peopleYou knew when you were youngLive in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hardLive in northern California once, but leave before it makes you softTravel, accept certain inalienable truthsPrices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get oldAnd when you do, you’ll fantasize that when you were youngPrices were reasonable, politicians were nobleAnd children respected their eldersRespect your elders, don’t expect anyone else to support youMaybe you have a trust fund, maybe you’ll have a wealthy spouseBut you’ll never know when either one will run outDon’t mess too much with your hair or by the time you’re fortyIt will look eighty-fiveBe careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply itAdvice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way ofWishing the past from the disposal, wiping it offPainting over the ugly parts and recycling for more than it’s worthBut trust me on the sunscreenBrother and sister together will make it through, oh yeahSomeday a spirit will take you and guide you thereI know you’ve been hurting, but I’ve been waiting to be there for youAnd I’ll be there just helping you out, whenever I canEverybody’s free, oh yeah, everybody’s free, oh yeah, oh, to feel goodSongwriters NIGEL ANDREW SWANSTON, TIM COXPublished byLyrics © Peermusic PublishingSong Discussions is protected by U.S. Patent 9401941.
Quote> Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
I haven’t read a beauty magazine for ages! they always make me feel inadequate. I have bought Beauty Brains book and am learning more… lol
Yesterday my hubby listened to the beautybrains podcast with me and heard a husband commenting how buying the book made his wife spend less on beauty products. Hubby said to me if buying the BB book make me spend LESS on skincare, i said i have already bought the book and I am making more informed decisions. I have spend over $100 on books this year.lol
