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.
