Wear sunscreen

Girls, I wanted to share this video with you because for me it has been of great help. I watched it for the first time when a friend of mine sent it to me attached to an e-mail which said: great video. The first thing I read was the title and I thought: “Skin cancer” I know, I shouldn’t’ sunbathe at peak hours. But, I gave the video a chance and I was surprised. No! It’s not about skin cancer and it’s not a Hawaiian Tropic advertisement. It is a video that at least for me resembles a bible which teaches you how to live, in what way, it tells you so many truths that you don’t consider until you watch it and feel it. It makes you think, and it makes you feel confident. It happens to me that whenever I have that negative feeling that things are going too wrong I start recalling phrases from this video and a smile spreads over my face.
• “Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.”
I really like this one. Some days you may feel that you are the ugliest person on Earth, that you deserve nothing but to be eradicated from society. No clothes will fit, your hair is dull, your face is full of freckles and you hate that tiny mole next to your right ear despite the fact that you are the only one who notices it. Well, those days: Remember this video!
• “The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind.”
Another good one! Don’t you think so?
“I won’t pass the exam”, “It will take me another year to finish my studies”. Of course, they are not minor issues but you don’t have to kill yourself because of them. It’s part of the process.
And, tell me the truth. Sometimes you even find yourself extremely worried or angry because a glass has been broken, or because there’s no more coffee left. Don’t you?
Girls, such is life! Those are not real problems. Trust me!
• “Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old”
Do I need to expand on this one? I think all of you know what it is talking about...or not?

Just enjoy the video. I hope you like it. I really do!
(Sorry but subtitles are in Portuguese. Don’t pay attention to them or if you cannot avoid reading them, it may be a chance to start learning a third language. ;))
