35 pearls of wisdom from old people 👴

Spend time with your parents. They will not always be there for you.

Hate less and try to forgive more. You will be much happier this way.

Don't postpone your dreams. If you don't have five minutes in a day for yourself, then you are not living.

Don't spend money that you don't have.

Find a passion, something that you love to do. It will keep your life fulfilled even when you are alone.

Life is not fair, but it is still good.

Don't compare your life to other people's lives. Your happiness and wellbeing are independent of anything else.

Spend time with your children. They grow fast, really fast.

It's never too late to live your childhood.

Live your age. Don't rush it.

Don't waste time. It runs out fast, really fast.

The ability to forget can be bliss. Time heals in ways you can't imagine.

You don't have to win every argument. Sometimes it is best to concede.

Save for your retirement before it is too late.

If a disaster hits you, ask yourself the following question: "Will this matter in five years?". The answer is almost always "No".

Don't be afraid to apologize and say sorry.

Make friends. They will be there for you when your loved ones are not around.

Work less. There is not enough time in the world to finish everything that you wanted to do or accomplish all the things that you wanted to achieve.

Take risks. Nothing feels worst than regret from wasted opportunities.

Express your feelings more often. Tell the people that you love how much you love them.

Money alone will not make you happier, it only make things a bit easier.

Never go to bed angry.

You may not always get what you want and that is just fine.

No matter how desperate or sad you are, you will recover.

Take your time with love. Don't rush into it.

Compatibility and respect are more important than love.

Travel more while you can. You will not be able to do it when you are older.

Prevention is much cheaper than medication. Take good care of your body and your health.

Be careful before you speak because you can't take back your words. People forgive but they don't forget.

It is up to you to be happy.

The joy of life is within the details. Enjoy the little things: your cup of coffee, your morning walks, etc.

Live with a cat. It is the weirdest, funniest, and best companion that you can have.

Work is essential for your life. Don't feel bad because you have to go to work every day. Even billionaires do it.

You have to like what you do. If you find a job you love, you will never have to work a day in your life.

Take fewer pictures and live the moment. You will never see half the pictures that you captured.
