Its been long having written something... but I couldn't resist anymore to post this one.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Well never mind, you will not understand the power of beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at the photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you 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 the bubble gum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindsides you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you. Sing!!!
Don't be reckless to with other people's heart, 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 its only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this tell me how.
Keep your old love letter and 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 years old I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees you'll miss them when they are gone.
May'be you'll marry, may'be you won't. May'be you'll have children, may'be you won't. May'be you'll divorce at 40, may'be 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 what other people think of it. It's the great instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your room 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 then'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They are 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 for the precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths. Prices will rise, politicians will philanderer, 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 were respecting their elders. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, may be 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 like 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.
