Excellent advice for newbies

I was helping at the final day of our local Bike Camp yesterday and found myself giving a couple of new people some advice which sounded strangely like the cartoon below.  Nearly everything I said mirrored the first 4 pieces,

of course I didn't tell them of the life they were headed for, I just hope they will happily find it for themselves.

I don't know who sent this to me or where I got it, but I have been holding it on my computer for some reason.
