Maknite ga s pozornice... BRZO!!!



Ladies and Gentlemen... Citisens... Brothrers...

Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you
only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.The long-term benefits of
sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no
basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh never mind, you will never
understand the power and the beauty of your youth until they've faded.But trust
me, in twenty years, you will 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 are not as fat as you imagine. Don't worry about the
future or worry that know that worrying is as affective as trying to solve an
algebra equation by chewing 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 4 PM on some idle Tuesday.Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other peoples' hearts; don't put up with people who are
reckless with yours. Floss.Don't waste your time on jealously, sometimes you're
ahead, sometimes you're behind.The race is long and in the end, it's only with
yourself.Remember 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 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 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.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 greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance.
Even if you have nowhere to do it but 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.
Chorus
Brother and sister together will make it through,Some day a spirit will take
you and guide you there,I 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 ca-a-an
Get to know your parents.You never know when they'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
a precious few, who should hold on.Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography
and lifestyle, for as 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 alible truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you
too will get old and when you do, you'll fanaticise 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'll have a wealthy spouse but you'll never know
when either one will run out.Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time
you're forty, it will look eighty-five.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 wishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling for more than it's worth.But trust me on the
sunscreen.
Chorus
Everybody's Free, oh yeah, to feel good, ohhhhh, to feel good.
