Don't worry about the future

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
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
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can
Don't be afraid of your body 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
Get to know your parents
Be nice to your siblings
Understand that friends come and go, but a precious few, who should hold on
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what to do with your life
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it
