Greta, upon your stepping foot on dry land, remember this: ※ Go placidly amid the noise and the haste of New York and Santiago and remember what peace there may be in silence. ※ You will be at the center of attention in the media circus around you but carve out your own bed. ※ Whatever you do and whatever you say, do it your way. ※ In New York, at the U.N., you can say "Yo, I did it my way." ※ Choose your New World friends carefully and try to minimize your selfies footprint. ※ No matter the time or the day, embrace your teen angst and joy.  ※ You are the Big Apple of your father's eye, so make him proud. ※ Whatever you do and whatever you say, know that millions support you and always will. ※ Count your media appearances and make them all count. ※ You will. ※ Be cool, chin up, this is your time in the sun. ※ Where there are roadblocks, go around them. ※ Where there are pet peeves, turn them into triumphs and revelations. ※ Above all, be yourself and greet everyone with aplomb and pizzaz. ※ New York pizza, too! ※ Eat to your heart's delight: be as vegan as you wish to be. ※ Remember this: no one can stop you as your message spreads around the world. ※ There will be detractors, but ignore them and create your own headlines. ※ Go to the head of the class and claim your prize, your Nobel. ※ Accept the applause, weather the storms, and pray. ※ Nobody but nobody can ever take away what you have achieved, so make mincemeat of your denialist enemies. ※ Make them into frenemies. ※ Make your mother proud, your father happy and all of Sweden sweet. ※ You have arrived; singlehandedly you have changed the world. ※ Sailing solo, you have revolutionized teen angst and turned it into teen angoisse. ※ There will never be another Greta Thunberg quite like you: when they made you, they threw the mold away. ※ If the world listens to you, as it should and must, you will have won your war. ※ And if the world doesn't listen this time, doesn't hear you this time, just do it again, next time, if there is a next time. ※ Meanwhile, count your blessings, count your Twitter stats, count the stars above the night skies of Central Park in Manhattan.
※ Peace.
