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 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 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 and lifestyle, because 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
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you’re 40, it will look 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
Travel.
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
But trust me on the sunscreen!
Construction workers, who spend most of their time working outdoors have a higher-than-average risk of skin cancer. At Ardmac, we are following the Sun Smart Code to reduce the risk. 9/10 cases of skin cancer are caused by the sun’s UV rays and can be prevented. By covering up, seeking shade, wearing sunglasses and using suncream you can help protect yourself.
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 one might run out.
