- Sing.
- Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
- Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
- Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.

Still, that shouldn't stop you. Just belt out the occasional show tune in the shower.
