How to Age Gracefully
49,845 views
What would you say to your seven-year-old self? Play more? Don’t yell so loud? How about ‘stay weird’… as one nine year old puts it. As we move through our lives, our many experiences, mistakes and accomplishments shape how we live in the world. Hindsight is an amazing thing, and the ability to look back and consider what we could have done is a bitter-sweet feeling, as there’s no reliving the past. We can, however, shape our future. As part of CBC Radio One’s farewell video from WireTap, people from all walks of life offer their sage advice to their younger selves. This light hearted, touching and insightful video is all about hindsight. ‘Dear 53 year old, it’s never too late to try something new’. ‘Dear 85 year old, indulge your sweet tooth.’ Want to know what advice a 93 year old would give? Take a look.

What a great video although I'm not sure about a couple of them - "find your babysitter's weakness and use it against them", being one. What?????
I'm just off to back-up my hard drive.
Listen to yourself. Love fully, listen carefully and dance wildly.
Thanks, Wire Tap, will miss you.
