Older people try to help younger people with “Words of Wisdom” but do they listen?

There’s a lot we can all learn from older people, and now some retirees are sharing some words of wisdom we can all benefit from.

• In a new British survey, which can easily translate here, retirees are sharing some of their biggest regrets of their life, as well as advice for young people today.
• The survey notes that 67% of retirees admit to having some regrets about their life, including
  • Not traveling the world (44%)
  • Worrying about what other people thought (43%)
  • Not keeping physically fit (40%)
• But even with their regrets, 69% of retirees say they live a happy and healthy lifestyle.
• And 89% say they may be old, but they are still young at heart.

So, what advice would retirees give to young folks these days? Well, words of wisdom include:

• Treat others how you’d like to be treated yourself
• Manners don’t cost a thing
• Always try your best
• Accept a company pension scheme if offered
• Don’t spend all your time on social media and live in the real world
• Start saving for retirement in your twenties
• Don’t take anything for granted
• You don’t have to go to university for a successful career
• Hold onto those closest to you
• Be confident in your own skin
• Respect your elders
• Enjoy your youth
• Never give up
• Do what makes you happy
• Family comes first
