(TFT) Intentions

Okay this is STRAIGHT off the web.




"Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 99 
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 
experienceI will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not 
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. 
But trust me, in 20 years youll look back at photos of yourself and 
recall in a way you cant grasp now how much possibility lay before 
you and how fabulous you really looked.Youre not as fat as you 
imagine. Dont worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as 
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing 
bubblegum. 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. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Dont be reckless with other peoples hearts, dont put up with 
people who are reckless with yours. Floss Dont waste your time on jealousy; sometimes youre ahead, sometimes 
youre behindthe race is long, and in the end, its only with 
yourself. Remember the 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 Dont feel guilty if you dont know what you want to do with your 
lifethe most interesting people I know didnt know at 22 what they 
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year 
olds I know still dont. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, youll miss them when theyre gone. Maybe youll marry, maybe you wont, maybe youll have children,maybe 
you wont, maybe youll divorce at 40, maybe youll dance the funky 
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversarywhat ever you do, dont 
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either  your 
choices are half chance, so are everybody elses. Enjoy your body, 
use it every way you candont be afraid of it, or what other people 
think of it, its the greatest instrument youll ever 
own.. Danceeven if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you dont follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when theyll be gone for 
good. 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. 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. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will 
philander, you too will get old, and when you do youll fantasize 
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were 
noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Dont 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. Dont 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 
its worth. But trust me on the sunscreen "



Now here is a realization of the text.
