Wear Sunscreen
Mau Kilauea Lyrics

Ladies and Gentlemen
Hello, this advice is for everyone

Wear sunscreen.
Wear sunscreen to protect yourself from the harmful effects of the sun

If I could offer you only one tip for the future
This is the most important advice I can give you

Sunscreen would be it.
That advice is to wear sunscreen

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
Scientists have proven that sunscreen has long-term health benefits

Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis
Unlike the sunscreen advice, the rest of my advice is not backed up by science

More reliable than my own meandering experience...
The sunscreen advice is more reliable than my personal experience with other advice

I will dispense this advice now.
I will now give you this important advice

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth
Enjoy being young

Oh nevermind
Actually, don't worry about enjoying your youth

You will not understand the power and Beauty of your youth until they have faded.
You won't appreciate how great it is to be young until you're no longer young

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...
Trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and remember how great you looked and how much potential you had

You're not as fat as you Imagine.
You may think you're overweight, but you're probably not as overweight as you think

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.
Don't worry too much about the future; worrying is not productive

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.
The real problems in life are often unexpected, not things you worry about

Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Challenge yourself to do something scary every day

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Be careful with other people's emotions, and don't tolerate people who don't treat you well

Floss.
Take care of your dental hygiene by flossing

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.
Don't waste your time comparing yourself to others and being jealous; life is a long journey, and you're only competing with yourself

Remember the compliments you receive Forget the insults If you Succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Remember the positive things people say about you and forget the negative; if you can do this successfully, let me know how

Keep your old love letters Throw away your old bank statements.
Keep the sentimental things that matter, and discard the ones that don't

Stretch.
Stretch your body to keep it healthy

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.
It's okay if you don't know exactly what you want to do with your life; some of the most interesting people still haven't figured it out

Get plenty of calcium.
Take care of your bones by getting enough calcium

Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.
Take care of your body and joints, because they're important

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.
Life is unpredictable; you don't know what will happen

Whatever you do Don't Congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
Don't take too much credit (or blame) for your choices; life sometimes involves luck

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
Take care of your body, use it, and don't be ashamed of it; it's the only one you have

Dance Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Dance and have fun, even if you're alone in your own home

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Read instructions even if you don't plan to adhere to them

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Avoid reading beauty magazines because they may harm your self-esteem

Get to know your parents, You never know when they'll be gone for good.
Spend time with your parents and appreciate them while they're still here

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.
Treat your siblings well; they're important links to your past and 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.
Accept that friendships change, but hold on to the ones that matter; as you get older, it's important to keep these people in your life

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.
Live in different places and have different experiences, but know when it's time to move on

Travel.
Travel and see the world

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.
Accept that certain things won't change; prices will rise, politicians will be corrupt, and you will get old

Respect your elders.
Show respect to those who are older than you

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 rely on others to support you; be self-sufficient and independent

Don't mess too much with your hair, Or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Don't damage your hair too much, or it will look unhealthy and old prematurely

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.
Be careful who you listen to for advice, but be patient and understanding with those who offer it; advice is sometimes rooted in the past and can be enhanced or edited

But trust me on the sunscreen...
Above all, trust me on the importance of wearing sunscreen
