- We asked three unique and lovely centenarians what their most valuable life lessons were, and also their regrets.
The conversations that followed were remarkable. They talked about the importance of family, people, relationships and love. Their view on life, as an elderly citizen with a lot of experience is truly an inspiration and motivation. Enjoy the video! And please let us know what your thoughts are!

"I don't have many failures. If I make a cake and it fails, it becomes a pudding."
-Cliff Crozier
@ Stephen Scott - I love the guy!... Cliff Crozier was my old headmaster - a special man indeed
That statement stood out to me too. Wonderful perspective.
Mr. Cliff Crozier passed away at the 12th of March this year. Just one month ago. He will be greatly missed.
@@Noahboy8 He most certainly will be missed. No doubt 17 million people are wiser because of him and everyone in this video, he/they live on through us. That energy is infinite and transfers. My belief at least ❤
He is really funny
Wow that 102 yr old man moves faster and looks better than most 60 yr olds
he walks faster than me! and im 16
one could argue that the food industry was quite different during the first half of their lives and a reason for their good health. i dont think most of us millennials will make it past 60.
if the guy was black eat organic and avoid shitfood
I have a feeling a lot of it if not all of it is due to how they allow themselves to be treated and treat others. Even in what you might call a difficult situation there's still help if you need it and by calling it in you love yourself. It's easily a nice thing to do.
On the food subject, yes the food was different for the first so many years of their lives but these people live in England and people there still eat differently than those in America. I do love eating wonderful fresh food, a garden-grown organic potato or tomato feels so... Alive.
welcome to amerikkka
" I don't have many failures. If I'm baking a cake and it goes wrong it becomes a pudding ..." . A priceless metaphore for how to live our lives. Thank you.
😍😍
I was like WOW 🤩 🤩
that is the power to put things in perspective,
WOOOOOW!!!!!!
Turns out what happens in life is not what affects our happiness, rather how we react to what happens to us is much more important. How we react is what we are able to control.
I think the healthy, fresh, food is so important, and rare these days. Also air and water.
Notice how healthy they look? No bad arthritis, so healthy immune systems. I bet they all came from loving homes, too.
It’s a shame adults in our society do not value elder people and the wisdom they have accrued throughout their lives.
Thank you, Seniors, for your participation, and thanks to Life Hunters.
"I'm a hundred and two and a half." What a great, positive and humourous outlook they have. Just lovely.
Can you imagine. They lived all threw the 70s,80s and 90s; i know they had a good time.
do you believe in the resurrection of the dead and the kindom of heaven jesus christ promised us?
Well it's strange, because my friend's daughter told me the other day she's 3 and a half, and we all laughed at how cute it is. And of course, when you have only been alive for 3 years, a half a year is a very long time, and quite a big deal.
But it was refreshing to hear a man 99 years older still using the half 🙂
John was my Great Grandfather & he always loved introducing himself with "Hi, I'm John & I'm 104 years old" he really was a special man. I hope to live up to his life one day. We miss him greatly & seeing these comments warms my heart even after so many years. Thank you everyone ❤
Too good
"I don't have many failures. If I bake a cake and I fail, it becomes a pudding." That was so simple yet so beautiful.
fantastic quote and beautiful moment. also agree about how they said "people give up too easily nowadays" and you "have no idea how strong you are" ... all of these people have zero quit in them. very inspiring
RetroBacon It's so beautiful and inspiring
Kind of like the saying that goes, "When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade." Fountains of wisdom these people are!
6672rock When life gives you lemons, oranges are usually close by.
such a great attitude
Imagine being 70 and living another 30 years.
imagine these popos taking History 101 : )
It goes quickly. Or at least that's what I imagine.
Time flies when you’re that old
@@secular8887 when your young you wish your life away, I bet it's the opposite as we get old.. I'm 33 n I suffer sometimes with awful anxiety n depression, I've often wished I could die. Lifes a journey, it's yours to plan
imagine remembering everything taught in a modern history class.
I started a conversation with an older gentleman at the gym the other day. I like talking to people and have been into the gym for 20 years now. I'm 37. I knew this guy was older but when he told me he had just celebrated his 95th birthday I was shocked. That is by far the oldest person I have seen lifting weights and in such shape. So cool.
He told me his son died at 52 and he outlived his wife. Then he said what I was seriously hoping for. He asked if I would go for a coffee with him sometime. It was literally the cutest thing in the world. He said the following:
"You have no idea how much you made my day by talking to me, thank you."
"When you get to my age there aren't many people left you know."
"Most people just pass you by."
It was heart warming seriously people.
I shared that cool story because as younger people we don't feel the way they do. The world still sees us. Heck, sometimes we get so much attention we want people to actually leave us alone!! lol. I know I do sometimes.
Most cultures hold their elders in very high regard, we should all hold them there.
Try to talk to these lovely people whenever you can. Just say hello if nothing else, you will almost always receive a warm smile.
Cheers
These people inspire me to work harder. This video is so inspirational; I wish I could hug them.
Beautiful 💕
Beautiful 😊story I hope you go for that coffee ☕ your new friend sounds wonderful at the gym 😊😊
Did you ask him what his diet was?
Completely agree with you.
Cliff walked more rapidly than I can. Seems all of them shared one thing: Loving parents.
I thought the same
Unfortunately, this is what i dont have. So, i dont expect to live long. Actually, i dont want to.
@@adekxii, what about your peers, friends and alike? I don't agree that loving parents is the key. It's a variable, but life has MANY of those.
in the bible says honor your mother and father to be happy and live many years on earth
Break the cycle, mate. I know it's hard, but if you decide to start a family, you can become the parent you never had.
Stay strong!
"If I make a cake and it fails, it becomes a pudding."
Now that's a life motto.
Stefan agreed
Exactly !
Very wise words
I'm gonna steal that line!
@6:34
Cliff looks like he'll live till 150 :/
':/'
demencia89 :)*
hahaha of course it makes me happy, but it's kind of surprising.. I felt like :l + :)
Cliff looks better than some 60 year olds I know...
morgan freeman he a old nigga
I really felt this. I'm 17 now, making plans for my life, wanting to chase money and success, being great and change the world, becoming important in a wider meaning. But when I see such things, when people who have already lived tell me what living really is like, I think I'm completely missing the point: I just want to be happy, and live a happy and fulfilling life. And when I'll be old I think it won't matter if I had been rich or if my life plans had gone right, I will only care about how I really lived my life.
Thank you for sharing your stories, teaching us these life lessons.
Should definitely talk more with my grandparents...
You are a very wise 17 yr old. Never loose sight of your own words said here. I can only add, respect, honesty, consideration and kindness to others is what brings us real happiness.
Nice. I’m 15, and I hope that, at the point of death (if I know I’m about to die, technically. Can’t say I won’t die without knowing I’m about to die, though) I want to have no regrets about my life.
Brother, In this world everything needs money, money can save half of your problems...money can bring you happiness.....People with lot of money used to say this dialogues like 'Money is not everything'
Ask to poor , they will tell you the things than money can do.
Er, the whole time I was watching it, it struck me that they all look quite well off, live in nice homes, in nice locations......so I think you should chase money and success in your younger years, or you won't be living like that once you're retired (unless you are coming into an inheritance at some point). And that is the reality.
@@mmartin7483 Lol, but these elderly people all look well off financially! They're not living on a housing estate in Brixton or Liverpool are they.......
I talked with my neighbor who was 97 years old. He was becoming incredibly frail and I would see him sit outside with his walker. I would join him whenever I saw him outside, and he would talk about his experiences in Poland and being a child prisoner, and his experience in the RAF as a radar operator during WW2, also how he came to the USA and started a family. That man really lived a life that I will never come close to experiencing. He passed away about this time last year and I was really glad that I sat and talked with him. We both share the same first name and heritage, I only knew him for about a year and I miss him.
You're very lucky to talk such a person who is 97years old !! If I would get a chance to talk to an old man I talk about ww2 and the war1 and life at that time !! Some people like Solomon Perel share a precious information about how life was a long back ago !!!
I hope to become 100 years old, and when someone age 70 comes up to me, I'll go "hello young man". That would crack me up!
Oh my gosh 🤣
When I get old I'm gonna call all the guys "sonny" and the girls "doll"
The old ones are the best.
Imagine - if you were thirty they would have just been born
They look healthier, hell even younger, than a number of 65/75+! Year olds I have come across.
look how happy that first little old-man was saying how much he gets off with screwing Uncle Sam on his pension, loloo
"a bit of whiskey helps".. When a 101 year old has more swag than you do at 24..
only people in their 20s has "swag". I bet a 101 year old would punch you in the face for using this gay ass word to describe him.
HoboTango nah, hed justbtake a swig of whiskey
I think he said a "spot" of whiskey. Which makes him even more swagtacular, by theory.
He said a shot of whiskey
my grandfather is 99 this year. A doctor recently asked him the secret to his longevity. Expecting some deep philosophical revelation, the doctor was shocked when he said, "I drink 3 beers a day, and I eat whatever's put in front of me."
As a 92 year old man... I love this video... I am American but I understand these folks very much...
Hello Nathan, hope you are doing well. Love from Dilly in London England xx
Thank you very much, sir
I pray that you also reach this age.
I think Nathan is gone...
Hey, Nathan please reply, if you are there....
@@Emotional_Damage365 he might just be offline
@@Emotional_Damage365 Hello, I am still here as of today and in good health. I am sorry for not writing back as I do not always go online CZcams. I am going to turn ninety-four-years-old on March first. Thank you for checking on me, I hope you have a blessed week.
They all look about 80 to me
Chicken Nugget maybe 90
Did you see great great grandmother's fingers?
Serpil Bicak me too. i never got to meet mine
Maybe the first man. The other man and the woman show more of their age.
And they can still walk fine 😯
Imagine being in your 30s in 1945 and living so long that you can order things online on an iPad
My god imagine how much he's seen. How much he's watched the world change. It boggles the mind.
Michel Schweinsberg me too !!!
The teenage Casual people always say things like that .. we always think things are speeding up, but are they quite? Maybe not from the 40s but someone from the 60s I think would be actually quite disappointed by the level of dubsequnt development particularly in the transport sector .. an I pad is pretty decent tool but many of those people might have expected flying cars.
We are nowhere near that. Also the western growth rate is considerably lower than in the post war era
Or samsung galaxy tab
I'm in my thirties and grew up without a computer. I really hope to see a similar mind boggling change...
I’m 25 years old and I’m always worrying about the future and regret a lot of my past but watching this has moved something in me that was so beautiful and i’m thankful. I’ll keep this video near so i can look to when I’m feeling down.
Same here. And I wish some day I can look back to life like they do. It's a really wholesome video 😊
I'm 35 now. It took me until this age to really get it together. I'm just starting out. 20 years I lost with drugs. It makes me sad, but also I'm optimistic there are plenty years ahead. Seize your days now, at age 25.
You are young so a little free advice, try being kind and do your best. U will have no regrets. Try being quiet to those who hurt you or reply gently.
never get into debt, do without. there is so much you really don't need, live in the country and grow your own food. and love nature and animals are your best friends!
@@thisiswhatseansays Well done. It's never too late to start. You might have 70 years left in you 🙂
I'm 22 years old, and I know it's still early and young, but I've gotten advice from a ton of people that I have either grown up with or people I've met while working or just out and about. The biggest piece of advice I can give, is this: "As long as you give your heart to someone that needs it, you are doing good in the world. It may be small, but it makes a huge impact."
Good on you for taking the advice. Make the best of everyday, your life is still full of adventures, Hope you have a wonderful life 🙂
The Czech women says she's never been unlucky meanwhile her father was a prisoner of war and she lost 2 children, very strong spirit!
It's actually inspiring: instead of making yourself a victim and complaining about it, just know that there is always going to be someone in a worse situation than you
there's people who spend most of their time complaining rather than looking for a solution.
Maybe those stuff is lucky to her?
Hitman 4Hire Fuck you, you lifeless bitch!
Her father survived, even after being defeated and captured.

Crazy to imagine the musical history they lived through, how many changes in style there was
Right!! Imagine going to classical jazz to the music nowadays. Omy!
from the Beatles to BTS
From jazz to phonk that's insane haha
The first man, Cliff… I can’t believe he’s 101! I would have said late 70s! Still as intelligent and sharp as ever, I hope he’s doing well still 💗
Sorry to break the bad news, but he passed away😭
'' We all have two lives. The second one begins when we realise that we only have one. ''
The most profound statement I have heard in my life...
Who said that (i.e. who is that quote from)? xx
Deep!

perhaps...unless Jesus Christ is who he said he is... something to consider, anyway.
"If I make a cake and it fails, it becomes a pudding". ayyyee

Loved that! haha so cute

Matt London in other words..dont stress life or have regrets
“Be as independent as you can but don’t be reluctant to ask for help when you need it”. I just turned 25 and honestly this has been helping me … I had to learn it the hard way. I pray I grow old as this man and I pray the lord grant me the grace to achieve all my dreams. It’s not easy especially considering I’m from a poor African country but I know I’ll get there.
I’m 67. Each day I awake, I thank God for but one more day to live better, in the day. I’m happier than I have ever been. I’ve got a fabulous life partner, my wife. I also have a relationship with the creator of the entire universe. I thank everyone of these beautiful men and women. Love them, each.

Great memories of great music, thank you... that’s my point is that your pic brings me back many great memories!
Robbing government? 101 years old and still doesn't understand where those money came from... Hope that was a pure sarcastic joke.

I come from Poland and my own grandparents were extremely uptight, rarely smiling people. I got married with a Japanese man and all the elders in his family are the exact opposite. I never knew someone can be over 90 and this happy, this joyful, this social, this nice. I'm surely glad to become part of his family. Seems people don't really change with age much. They just are who they are.

No. It is nearly impossible to change who you are. You are who you are. You can become more patient, more kind, more understanding, etc. but you will always be who You've always been even with effort to change you are really just polishing yourself.
I’m only 48 years old. Life has taught me humility. Life has taught me one thing and one thing only: to be humble. And it’s been a very painful life lesson to learn.

@@Dave-sr2vu How so? 48 is no spring chicken.
Cliff looks like he's in his early 70's holy shit. Just casually walking fast down to the street and back at 101 years old without a cane or help from another, this man looks like he'll live to 120 lol
ADankPineapple He seems to be in great shape, very insprirational
When he gets the oldest man in the world i will be there saying: "I WAS THERE!"
ADankPineapple right that's what I was saying.
He is officially my role model.
ADankPineapple it was John walking
It's sad that the woman outlived her own children.
Madi Wyttenbach But also kinda great for the children. To see my beloved parents die is unimaginable.
NeoShineLP I couldn't imagine the sadness my parents would feel to see me pass away. I don't believe any parent should go through that. I'd rather bear that sadness instead.
NeoShineLP that's true but the love that a parent has for their children is just so much more. Not saying that children don't love their parents but parents would easily give their life for their child
Madi Wyttenbach in my native culture we are not allowed to bury our juniors.
Madi Wyttenbach yeah that's the one thing that probably sucks about living a long life, you have to see all your loved ones die
Tears at the end. There's so much to learn from older people. But mostly their smile and positive outlook! They sound happy! I'm 72 and I'm still looking to "change the world" and complete my artistic pursuits. My motto is " Never give up!" God will do the rest! ✝️💜
I clicked this by mistake and so glad I did. I smiled all the way through it. These three have positivity, optimism, and happiness in common. It makes sense to that live a long life one has to really want it, like they do. Lovely!
😀
It probably is hard and lonely for them at time but they just try to stay positive. Joy and happiness is the key!
Man seriously, same here 😅
They look better at 100 than most people that are in their 60s and 70s
That's what I was thinking!
They must be doing something right to live this long , and that’s why they look better than most ppl are in their 60s and 70s.
Ill be unexpected lmao every day I would think “man, I haven’t died yet?lmao.”
Ikr more beautiful than boomers! (Jk sjsjjsjsj)
That's because they don't live in the America's and they probably don't smoke or drink much 😂 but there are people who have smoked and lived that long so don't get it confused 😜

I am 18 years old and me and my gf (my first ever relationship, kiss, love and everything in between) are on the verge of breaking up, and hearing Tereza say "Make the most of it. Especially if its the first love, there is nothing like it" really breaks my heart even more :( im so sad how such good things end.
I'm sorry and if it did happen, I know how hard that can be. Know that it will get better. It takes time but it will get better. Keep moving forward. Wish you the best.
Don't worry mikkel it will happen for you, when you least expect it x
Thank you very much for ur kind words. We ended up taking a break/breaking up for a while but found eachother again. All good for now, but as i wrote previously; good things tend to come to an end. Im just enjoying what i have at the moment.

I shed a few tears when Emelia talked about her children. I can't imagine outliving my daughter, it was bad enough saying goodbye to my Mum. Bless her, I hope she continues to live happily for a while longer. Sorry to hear the other two have since passed away 😢😭

#Swagat101
Because he wasn't born in our generation
I was about 9 years old at a penocostal church. An there was this old world war 2 veteran he was 90 something. An at that time i dressed like a soldier cause i wanted to be a soldier when i got older . When church was over i walked up to him an saluted him an he started reaching in his pocket to hand me something . But his hands were shaking too much. I always wondered what he was gonna hand me. Godbless him i know hes in heaven now maybe ill find out one day when i see him in heaven what he wanted to give me .
I always come back to watch this when I’m demotivated. Hearing all 3 off them speak just warms my heart. God bless everyone!
thanks! so happy to read your comment
Me too. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen this video now because it’s comforting.
this is beautiful.
"I wanted to marry a handsome man. a man with good manners. and I got both". 😭😭😭😭
There's a lot of handsome well mannered guys around. The problem is that females now a days are attracted to asshole guys that treat females like shit - sadly
C.J Power yea I know that :) I was just quoting that lovely lady. I just admired her words.
lola lovesyou I married a not so beautiful overweight woman with a hot temper and stubborn as hell. I sometimes regret my life. I think it is going to cut my life short. But I would never split up my family.
trkoby people like you are admired. Think about the positive in your life. It'll be better!
trkoby I could be wrong and don't mean to speak out of turn, but maybe some of her temperment & stubbornness stems from the fact that her husband sees her as a "not so beautiful overweight woman" as opposed to his lovely bride.
"be independent, but don't be reluctant to ask for help"
Why didn't I ever find him earlier?
Shayaan Morshed this same old lady said she simply wanted a handsome man with good mannerisms. Bruh, if us men had women of that caliper to smash... Life would sure be grand
I always thought: Being an adult doesn't mean to do ALL by himself. But to recognize when help is needed and to learn to ask for it.

My grandfather lived with me for awhile when he was in his late 80’s before he passed away. He told me to live my dream and let no one ever hold me back from living it. He told me that good men are as rare as diamonds, and not to fall for the fake shiny and sparkly ones. It takes time and examination to find the true gem of the earth. He lived to 92 years young. We grandkids used to joke that he would be found propped up on some sort of farm equipment out in the field when he passed. It wasn’t far from the truth in the end. I want to be like him.
"robbing the government. for my pension" This man. Is. The class act :D

"I don't have many failures.
if i'm making a cake and it fails it becomes a pudding" - 102 years old Cliff Crozier
The best one
Danil Danils Truly inspiring😢
You can only fail if you make failure an option!
we would never test a delicious brownie if somebody in the past hadn't failed into make a cake
Danil Danils a good one indeed😊
I agree! That was the best line and the complete truth. Why do we always feel like such failures when things don’t go exactly as planned. Everything happens for a reason. We may not know why at the time but if we don’t lose hope we can figure out why.
I remember I was taking care of a man in Hospice a few years ago and he was in his 80s. And he said "wow, this has been quite the experience" and I remember getting so sad because I could tell he felt like life went by so quick. And it truly does :( We can't slow it down. And the older we get, the quicker it goes :(
There's a lot of science behind this feeling. Don't be afraid to look it up.
So true. Life is one fleeting moment, blink and you’ll miss it.
Whoever shot or edited the video is a legend 🎥👏
And guess what? I learnt every single word that came out from these cute people’s mouth.
Thanks so much sir/ma’am, may the good Lord continue to grant you Peace-Amen. 🙏

it's been a year after your comment. how are you doing now?
Love and prayers
"I think nowadays people give up too easily"
Yes sir, unfortunately.
Arguably the biggest and most valuable lesson out of this video. I am 28 and the current generation is completely out of depth when it comes to problems in life. I hope I have the strength to follow his advice when bigger problems eventually come my way.
ucanbrome ifudontknwme 500th thumbs up👍
Hang in there bud. Everybody learns at a different pace. Don't focus on others and everyday just try to be better than you were yesterday, and as the old man suggested 'don't give up easily'. Good Luck!!!
I think it's not a matter of "too easily". We don't think about "too easily". It's tough for us too. But we just give up. If it doesn't work, we give up. Life is different now, different culture. Too many choices. Doesn't work? Try another thing.
Benevolent I am stubborn as they say. I don't really give up, and never feel like I should. But society has twisted the minds of a lot of women. Have fun, always have options, then if you persist there's a chance you'll look unattractive. Unfortunately I still don't give up. And am too forgiving. Society looks at me with pity but I refuse to change for this world. I'm happy this way, and playing games like that has never been me. I know I'll be good enough for somebody someday.

I've seen people in their 50's that look older than the first man.
The third too ! I think you see who is happy with his/her life and who is not. I think if you be happy all your life you will live longer than the others. Maybe mindset is a big part.
It's genetics.
Healthy lifestyle and clean environment helps
The affects of smoking are insane
Both of my grandparents smoked their entire lives. They live to be in their 90's.
Man, those people are looking so good for their age. Seeing their smile in these times is also quite heartwarming.
These people would have seen so much; two world wars, the birth of cars, planes, silent movies turning to talkies, the advent of TV, man landing on the moon, the computer, the internet, mobile phones, ipads, the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and now the 20s again. Amazing!
"If I'm making a cake and it fails it becomes a pudding." 6:34

I’m so proud for caring for elderly people. It’s a blessing job.
I remember me and my school traveled to an nursing home, it was so fun
The people (both the elderly and caregivers) were amazing, I remember we sang songs. Im glad my school had that trip.
That is an incredible job! It takes a special person to do it.
What a lovely comment. Bless you.
That is a noble job. People fear their own mortality and cast out the elderly. I'm glad you enjoy your job. I have always loved hanging with the old folks! Have you seen the movie "Young at Heart"?
I think they are probably lucky to have you as well. Thank you for caring for them.
I'm only 60 and recently retired and I've suddenly come to realise just how fast life goes. I'm still wondering what happened to the last 40 years. The answer is work took those years away, with no time to think about my life ticking away in between.
Enjoy your retirement ❤️

I loved that too :)
Kayciaz World considering getting a tattoo with that.. 🤔
Kayciaz World also when he mentioned people giving up too easily in relationships.... he got through them.
I should think about that... it's strange but very intelligent to make something good out of a failure
because of your comments I'll go and watch the rest
this somehow gives me a feeling that older generations lived real and intact lives. they have their own world full of their own feelings. nowadays we always build too many connections and get ourselves influenced by unimportant things and people too much, our lives are torn up and feel so fake.

That generation is truly beautiful and so inspiring❤️ I am Gen z, and while there are good things about my generation, we lack the gratitude, humility, and selflessness generations before us have. Sadly, these beautiful things have been replaced with self-entitlement and narcissism. I only hope to have the wisdom of these three one day, and live my life with selflessness, positivity, love, gratitude, humility, and kindness toward others. This can be such a battle though as the pull of the world I am living in is strong. I, along with our society, need to refocus on God again! He is our only hope.
Thank you for your reply. I'm Gen X and often look down on Gen Z but realize that I'm just repeating a pattern and reacting the way the media wants me to react. There are great people out there, of all ages, as well as angry, greedy, selfish types - of all ages.
Im gen z and was in foster care and i have these traits of humility, and selflessness, gratitude, love, and kindness because I shopped at goodwill since a child and witness others get abused by there parents since the age of 4. I cant agree at all. Im gen z and have these traits but I think it comes from how you were raised and what you went through. Truly I think the harder the journey the more softer it’ll make you
@@justhere7630 I’m sorry for the struggles you have gone through in your life! I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to grow up in foster care and witness what you did, and I am sure that you are a very strong person who does embody all of these beautiful traits!! I did not mean to imply that every person in our generation is entitled, narcissistic, and completely lacking these positive qualities, and I do believe that a person’s (no matter his or her generation) upbringing and and life experience play a huge role in character!! I guess I just meant that in the day in age we are living in (especially with the selfishness that is often attached to social media), the level of self-entitlement and narcissism seems to be much more pronounced than it was in the generations that experienced terrible things like war and economic depressions (kinda like what you mentioned- “The harder the journey, the more softer it will make you”).
@@emmabetty8391yes I agree. Sorry for my late response
I'm Gen X and I adore Gen Z. I have concern for what you all are up against financially and politically but your generation is so on point with mental health awareness, and inclusiveness of all types of people. A VERY open-minded bunch of people. ❤ Gives me hope!
If this video didn't affect your heart, deeply, you need help. I feel as if I was hugged by each one of them just by listening!! Bless their hearts!!
The best part is when he said "I've been retired for 38 years and am robbing the government with my pension" HAHA LOVED IT!!
Ya love if you would pos
Heavy Metalurgist Agreed!☺️😂
The "government" is the same as "taxpayers". So the only ones being "robbed" are other people.
He deserves it for doing what hes done for his country his entire life. But youre right, its a ponzi scheme

So blow your grandpappa kisses. Tell him you love him. God may not allow him to manifest to you, but HE IS HERE. Amen, Lord Jesus, You made this possible.
Btw, I watched a video and I did a similar comment. A guy asked me to call my nonna. I did call her, and we will see each other this week.
educative, will share w my grandpa, my granny has unfortunately passed away a year ago . but i recently got from my grandpa a great and surprising birthday gift. natural sex drops spanish fly pro which are for both genders (for me and my guy), easy to use + even relieve stress from both of us
wow, your stuff about spanish fly is absolutely life changing to me otherwise my wife would certainly divorce me. thx to this thing she wants me in bed forever and be with each other forever

The secret of these generations were time, they had time to live life.. Today we are compelled to live beyond the time we have and more, and we are surrounded by constant stimulation that tells us how much of a failure we are for not having done enough..
I love how elderly people make my heart melt of love for life itself.
So beautiful!
I like how they are always positive, fantastic

I'm a 45 year old man who isn't prone to crying, but when the lady described how she still talks to her dead children I lost it. sobbed.
petetube99 Very deep and real
Me too, broke my heart. She loved her children and husband so much though, I'm happy she has her memories to reminisce.
petetube99 same here.
im not one that cries much, but man this video got me!
petetube99 I've lost a child and it gave me strength to see her perspective on it. God love her soul, she's a survivor
Its a good reminder of whats really important in life, kindness and happiness

Wow.... That's what you gathered? Thank God not all of us are the same.
they do, don't they?
Easy, lucky, stress-free life with a positive/happy outlook seems to be the recipe for a long life. There seems to be no trauma in the childhood of those that live very long. Plus they also seem to gravitate towards stable, mentally and emotionally healthy partners, continuing the bliss. Shows you how stress is a killer and harmony a healer.
Amelia outlived her children who she says she loved ‘immensely’ and her husb who she’d been with since 16. That’s not stress free. She was emotionally resilient and adapted to the cards dealt. Very few can do that now. If either man was in the war they saw and experienced things most of us hopefully never will.
@@jmc8076 you’re right!!
Burying your husband/children are very stressful situations that can kill you.
It's been proven that people can died from grief, if they can't take the loss of loved ones.
A woman told me that her father died from cancer at 62, then her mother died from heart attack just 2 months later at 60.
This woman is healthy, her mind is healthy. Omg. She processes things that most suppress, even talking out loud 😭 when thinking of her children. She is lucky for sure. She said it x

I know right, dem English people always thinking that their language is the only native language in the world. They should be grateful we actually speak it so well, considering most of them don't speak a word of the other language, let alone two none-native languages.

you're telling me this 102 year old man can online shop better than my mum.
Hahahah
dude😂😂
Hes had more time to figure it out
Not really. Regardless of age, we’ve all been exposed to technology for the same duration of time. Age wouldn’t really help you with how to work with technology but perhaps having more knowledge or experience would. Maybe this is what you meant as the older the person, the wiser one generally is.
He did say you have to keep up with the times and that what works 70 years ago doesnt work now...so I guess he is still sharp mentally because of that attitude.
I clicked this out of curiosity and im glad I did. It's nice to see them so enthusiastic and full of humor at their age. I wished my mother was still around, because theres days I could use a hug from mom or to even sit down and have a talk, but unfortunately cancer got the best of her at the age of 62, I had to end her life support and dialysis..
My dad is still around and I visit him more than I visit my friends, my dad is my best friend and it hurts losing a parent. I hope he doesnt go any time soon.

He doesn’t even look like he’s 101. He must’ve been a healthy person and active back in the day .
Yeah,they still look young
90% of it is genes.
Most people who live long are always like that to be honest. Take Queen Elizabeth II for example. She's not a centenarian but she is 94 years old which is old for someone born at her time, but even so, she looks like in her early 70s or so thanks to her healthy lifestyle.
And he thinks and talks very clearly, amazing
He really looks only 60 years old
I used to take care of a centenarian. Sadly, she passed on 3/12/23, the day before my bday. She would have turned 101 on 5/17. Miss you, Eleanor. I’m so grateful for the insight & many stories you shared with me. 💛
There is so much to learn from the elderly. When we're young we think we know it all. But there is so much to take away from our elders.
"I don't have many failures. If I'm making a cake and it fails, it becomes a pudding". Thats actually quite a nice way to see life and a nice motto to live by
McSantoryu Ever make mistakes in life? Let's make them birds. Yeah, they're birds now
That can be our new motto! Pure wisdom and light on them. God Bless them.
I was impressed by this saying too
Let's see it as a pudding
McSantoryu yeah I admired his positivity I'm trying to apply this to my life and so far it's been great life is just too short for us to complain or not live it to the fullest
Kind of in the same vein of "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade". An optimistic way to view things.
