Ziegfeld Girl Gilda Gray.

Gilda Gray - who so rightly warned us in 1919 that “you can’t make your shimmy shake on tea!”

Lists of Note has a great letter from renowned author F. Scott Fitzgerald that he penned in 1933 to his 11-year-old daughter, Scottie, that ends with a list of things to worry about, not worry about, and simply think about.

It reads as follows:

Things to worry about:

Worry about courage
Worry about cleanliness
Worry about efficiency
Worry about horsemanship

Things not to worry about: 

Don’t worry about popular opinion
Don’t worry about dolls
Don’t worry about the past
Don’t worry about the future
Don’t worry about growing up
Don’t worry about anybody getting ahead of you
Don’t worry about triumph
Don’t worry about failure unless it comes through your own fault
Don’t worry about mosquitoes
Don’t worry about flies
Don’t worry about insects in general
Don’t worry about parents
Don’t worry about boys
Don’t worry about disappointments
Don’t worry about pleasures
Don’t worry about satisfactions

Things to think about: 

What am I really aiming at? 
How good am I really in comparison to my contemporaries in regard to: 

(a) Scholarship
(b) Do I really understand about people and am I able to get along with them? 
(c) Am I trying to make my body a useful instrument or am I neglecting it? 

With dearest love,

Daddy

my older and sister and I were watching a movie last nite and there was one line that stuck with us.  “Childhood is what you spend the rest of your life trying to overcome”
