Baz Lyhrmann - Everybody`s free слова песни
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would beit. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved byscientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliablethan my own meanderingexperience…I will dispense this advice now.Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will notunderstand 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 andrecall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay beforeyou and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as youimagine.Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is aseffective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewingbubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things thatnever crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pmon some idle Tuesday.Do one thing everyday that scares youSingDon’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up withpeople who are reckless with yours.FlossDon’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimesyou’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only withyourself.Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if yousucceed in doing this, tell me how.Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.StretchDon’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with yourlife…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what theywanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 yearolds 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,maybeyou won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funkychicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’tcongratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – yourchoices 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 peoplethink of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll everown..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 forgood.Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and thepeople most likely to stick with you in the future.Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few youshould hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography andlifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people youknew when you were young.Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; livein Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.Travel.Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians willphilander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasizethat when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians werenoble 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 onemight run out.Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you`re 40, it willlook 85.Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those whosupply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way offishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over theugly parts and recycling it for more thanit’s worth.But trust me on the sunscreen...
