Man asked people aged 60-90 what advice they had for younger self and they all gave same answer

A man decided to ask different people between the ages of 60 and their 90 what advice they’d give to their younger self.

And let’s be honest, normally when you start hearing the whole ‘back when I was you age’ spiel, it’s time to tune out. But this lovely lot pretty much all gave the same answer, and it’s quite touching.

You’ll be glad to hear it’s not them suggesting you stop ‘buying avocados’ or ‘cancel your Netflix subscription’ to save money and buy a house, because we’re all sick of that sh*t. We’ve already heard all that, plus some sweet interviews with people ages 70 to 80 talking about what their biggest regret was.

There was one bloke who answered the advice question with a rather different answer but honestly, even that was cute.

Because despite the decades of age difference, there was generally one common theme in the answers.

‘Sprouht’ aims to teach people how to live a more fulfilling life and shares content from speaking with older generations to social media.

And when he asked a 95-year-old bloke what advice he’d give to his younger self, the answer was pretty clear: “Try to be as positive as you can, because tomorrow is going to be a better day, unless you make it a worse day."

Wheeling back a few decades, a 64-year-old man said his advice would be: “Don’t really take things as seriously as you should. Because, over the last 30 or 40 years, I’ve had a lot of my friends die, get diseases, accidents – you don’t know when it’s going to end.

“So, relax, enjoy life.”

And similarly, a couple, both aged 79, shared their advice: “You’ll only regret in life things you didn’t do, not the things you did do even if they didn’t turn out just as you hoped.”

Yeah, see, common answers knocking about here.

It was summed up well by a 70-year-old woman who simply said: “Don’t worry so much.”

While a 73-year-old fella echoed: “Enjoy it, live life.”

And a 94-year-old lady also said: “Don’t dwell on the negative, it’s not necessary.”

So basically, nearly all of the people featured in the videos give the advice of enjoying your life and simply just not worrying too much about the small stuff.

Although, a 98-year-old bloke did say: “I don’t want to give anybody any advice.

“They’ll get it themselves.”

Well, tie that in with the other tip, and you might be saying the same thing when you’re nearly 100, lads.
