"...трек "Wear Sunscreen" - "Пользуйтесь кремом для загара". Это - историческая речь великого Курта Воннегута для выпускников одного из престижнейших американских университетов."

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97, Wear sunscreenIf 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 f
