"No one can give you better advice than yourself." --Marcus Tullius Cicero

How to Age Gracefully

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.
