Everyone Is Free to Wear Sunscreen


Stumbled upon this particular piece of speech during my search for great works from notable orators. Just like a cool breeze during a lethargic afternoon, gently but surely wakes one up and it is potent enough to keep one awake all day.

It was written by Mary Schmich and published as a newspaper column in 1997. Later, amid its ever growing popularity among readers, and its pithy way of providing useful advice, Baz Luhrmann made it into a song and released it in 1999.

Tea used to be my best companion when i was weary and tired; now, words from this article-turned-into-song has become another refreshment that keeps my spirits high.
