I ask retired Japanese seniors in their 60s, 70s, and 80s what their biggest mistakes and regrets are, how it feels to be their age, what advice they'd give to someone younger than them, and so much more. Filmed in Tokyo, Japan.

😂 any other Asian feel this world is fuked up? Asian men are castrated and humiliated in the west, yet unattractive losers from the west thinks because of that Asian women love them? This is the most racist shiiiit in modern world. Asians should stand up and fight back. No more Asian Castration and Asian fetish.

My biggest mistake was staying in a toxic relationship for too long because of the fear of being alone....but then gathering the courage to get out of it has been the best decision of my life. My advice is to get out as soon as possible.

These videos are so inspiring to watch. Everyone currently living on this planet will have regrets. No such thing as a regret free life or a perfect life. And you’re still young as well in your 20s, that’s a huge advantage! Time is still on your side! You are way ahead of the game to know all this. Keep going! I support you!

I recently read a piece of advice online and I decided to use it as my life guideline: Imagine you are old and on your deathbed, reviewing your whole life, you feel deeply regretful and sad. You wish for a second chance, then you wake up to your current life. Treat your life as if it's your second chance.

@claudiauhlir2282 11 ай бұрын

Lessons I‘ve learned (not in order of priority): 1. Don’t overthink and don’t be too afraid. What seems to be almost a disaster can bring you on a much better path. Cross the bridges when you get there. 2. Take care of your body. In younger age it can compensate a lot. Not so in older age. Do something to stay fit. 3. Take good care of people who are near to your heart and stay away from energy vampires. 4. Leave a job you hate rather earlier than later. 5. Time is very precious. 6. Don’t care too much about what others think is important or what they think of you. Define your own goals and find people who share them. 7. Find out what makes you genuinely happy. Sometimes there is a discrepancy between what you want and what you need.

I used to think his videos were cringe. Maybe still a bit. Especially when going up to old people and asking how old they are, is insensitive. But at the same time, they are often neglected, and yet so many young people can be helped from hearing and talking with them. Most western societies, and maybe in the world as well, treat older people with disrespect, and ignoring them...almost like a strain on everyone, when they really can be so helpful to so many people if just included in people's lives.

I agree a ton with the 63 year old man. I think that everything that happens in our lives is meant to teach us a lesson, whether it goes the way we want it to or not. I would love to live my life the way I want to, but I would be leaving my loved ones behind and for me, they are more important than my dreams. I'm 29 and can maybe accomplish them at a later time but if I can't, that's okay too

I’m from Japan and listening these seniors makes me feel home. Thank you for this❤ At the age of 24, I thought I’d regret if I didn’t try living abroad. So I studied English for a year and moved to Canada without a friend or a job. I got a good opportunity and got a PR myself. It was 7 years ago and I recently realized that although my dream of living abroad came true, i wasn’t happy. I’m now trying to change my career because I’d regret if I didn’t pursue what I truly like and I’m good at.

I am also in late thirties and have no regrets but I am not as happy as I used to be. My standards were somewhat high but not very high. I guess everything has a trade-off. I felt like a Harvard graduate (also went to a pretty good school) in my 20s and 30s. Made a lot of money and lost all of it at one point. But money wasn't the biggest thing. It was losing people as you age. and also hitting the limits of my career. Anyways, I hope everybody gets what they need.
