Everybody´s free

Hoy me vino a la mente una canción un tanto rara, fuera de lo común, se llama "Everybody´s free (to wear sunscreen)", la compuso Baz Luhrmann, quien es más conocido por su trabajo en cine, él dirigió la cinta "Romeo + Juliet" y "Moulin Rouge" por mencionar algunas. Lo interesante de esta canción es que es más bien un "speech", y la letra tiene algunos consejos interesantes, aquí les dejo la letra original y la canción. Saludos.

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 your

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.

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.
