I wrote this a while back and finally decided to share it with the world outside the two small guilds I'm in.

for those of you how don't recognize it please go watch this

Sunscreen


Ladies and Gentlemen of Azeroth Roll a bank-alt.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, a bank-alt would be
it. The long term benefits of bank-alts have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering Leveling…I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of the horde; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of the horde until you have rolled an alli.
But trust me, in 20 levels you’ll look back at screenshots of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how stupid you really looked….You’re not as leet as you
imagine.

Don’t worry about patch day; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to pug a 40 man raid.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
gank you while afk; the kind that blindside you at a quest turn-in in contested territory.

Do one battleground everyday

Chat

Don’t be reckless with other people’s repair bill, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours.

RP

Don’t waste your time on DPS jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…on long bosses what matters the most is downing him.

Remember the buffs you receive, forget the debuffs; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.

save copies of your old ingame mail, it only lasts 30 days.

/Stretch

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what spec you want to take
the most leet people I know didn’t know at level 22 what they
wanted to do with their toons, some of the most leet 80's I know Respec daily

Get plenty of buff food

Be kind to your weapon, you’ll miss it when durability hits 0%.

Maybe you’ll raid, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll grind rep, maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll respec at 40, maybe you’ll perfect your rotation at 80…
what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your gear,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..

/Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but on mail boxes

Read the quest description, even if you don’t follow it.

Do NOT read barrens chat, they will only make you feel dumb.

(Brother and sister together we'll make it through
Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there
I know you've been hurting, and I know I've been waiting to be there
for you. And I'll be there, just tell me now, whenever I can.
Everybody's free.)

Get to know your guild leaders, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good.

Be nice to your guild mates; they are the best hope for heroics and the
people most likely to go on raids in the future.

Understand that pugs come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in gear and play time
because the higher level you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were a lowbie for raids.

Try mining once, but quit before it makes you hard;
Try Tailoring once, but quit before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, mat prices will rise, gold spammers will
spam, you too will get ganked, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were new prices were reasonable, spammers were
few and noobs respected level 80's.

Respect level 80's.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a max trade skill,
maybe you have a high level alt; but you never know when either one
might get nerfed.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, the beauty parlor was just a plot for a gold sink

Be careful whose leveling guide you buy, it might be available for free elsewhere.
Rerolling is a form of nostalgia, low level re-questing it is a way of fishing the past
from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more
than it’s worth.

But trust me on the bank-alt…

(Brother and sister together we'll make it through
Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there
I know you've been hurting, and I know I've been waiting to be there
for you. And I'll be there, just tell me now, whenever I can.
Everybody's free.)

Thank you for that blast from the past. Good advice it was, and will always be.

I thought of giving it a shot but I cant fine a karaoke version of the song ...and I'm probably not the best one to give the speech I'm more of the writer than giver.
