This was great, the only thing I disagree with but empathize, with is the guy who feels he missed his chance to be an actor because he worked corporate too long. I was in the opposite scenario, working in hotels and restaurants (minimum wage jobs with almost no tips) till my late 30s. One day I decided if I could get my time and years back what would I do? As if time was imaginary, I always wanted to be an engineer. So I quit my job, took out a smallish student loan, did 3 engineering degrees, and now work in corporate tech building tools and I am now a subject matter expert in AI (expert via education and application). All I did was list my goals (what I would do if I knew I couldn't fail) and make a plan with a timeline. I decided I would never discuss, preface, or think about my age as a determinant for anything. People underestimate what they can do or change in 1 year, 2 years, 3 years all the way to 10 years. There is no age limit to your dreams, the only person who cares about your age is you if you choose to, and the person you decide to tell it to. So just don't center your life around age, age is valuable it's not meant to discriminate you from life. I made that decision in my late 30s and by 41 I was done and established in tech and it's like I never lost a decade + doing odd jobs. For the record, studying was challenging, but I outdid everyone literally and the average age in my classes was 20 years old, even 17-year-olds who had excellent grades in high school couldn't beat this lady who spent a decade + cleaning floors and tables. Working in odd jobs where time and organization are of the essence taught me how to be quick, efficient, and focused on the thing that would deliver the service. I used the same approach with my goals. So yeah, relationships, jobs, education, career, children you can do it at anytime. Never ever think about the time you spent or "wasted" or invested as a reason to stay, in economics this is called the sunk cost fallacy . The sunk cost fallacy is our tendency to continue with something we've invested money, effort, or time into-even if the current costs outweigh the benefits. It's what keeps many people from making a drastic change in their lives.

Life is what you make of it. I’m in my 70’s but I look like I’m in my 50’s. Everyone asks me how I look so young, the answer is RELAX. You don’t have to be the first person to punch the time clock at work, you don’t have to be first in the checkout line, you don’t have to be first out of the theater when the show is over - just give yourself a few minutes. Be on time, but don’t make yourself rush. What’s in the mirror has _nothing_ to do with what’s in your heart - you have to choose which one is more important and then live that way. Be kind to everyone around you, their life might really suck but your smile as you pass on the sidewalk might just make their day. And remember that you’re not as important as you think you are; arrogance will stress you to your deathbed.

I had a catastrophic year when I turned 30. My father died, and I had a brain tumor removed in the same year. I'm 47 now, yet I feel so much younger because over the years, I have been so focused on being super healthy and happy.

Best life advice I was ever given was “to enjoy the ride, it goes quick” can’t believe it’s been 20 years since he told me that. It’s true

I'm 50, my advice to the younger me is "Keep doing what you are doing, you are a good guy"

Save and invest 15% of the money you earn from the beginning. Don't touch it, don't get afraid of down markets, just let it grow. The first $100k is the hardest to save but it really grows quickly after that. Pay yourself first, your lifestyle will adapt around it. Compounding growth cannot be underestimated. Stay out of debt. Embrace a minimalist lifestyle and treat your body well.

That 'working in a restaurant ' advise was a gem... It'll make one humble & empathetic

Was called too old at 50! Started training in crumbling garage lifting rocks doing pushups on paint cans pullups on beams got ripped af at 53 years old!!!

I hope the 50 year old listens to himself and pursues his acting dream, he can still do it 💪

I agree on the time thing. I'm 57 (I can't even believe I'm even typing those numbers). Time starts flying faster and faster with each decade you get older. I was born in 1967. The first 20-25 years will seem to go by very slow as a kid. You feel you had all the time in the world. You kind of did and you take that for granted. As you get older with each decade, time moves faster and faster. The last 24 years for me went by ridiculously fast. Seriously, it went by so fast that when someone says "20 years ago" to me, I'm still thinking 80's. So my advice to my younger self is: Time is of the essence. Do not procrastinate on any goals or things you want to do.

for someone who i believe has admitted to being an introvert, i am so impressed how you can interact with so many people around the world.

"I've come to realize my feelings about things are one of the guiding influences in my life." so true, especially for women. we're constantly being told to second guess ourselves, our feelings and intuitions aren't real, just put up with this, give this guy a chance, that's not a red flag you're just too sensitive, then we end up dead.

All the money in the world will not help, when you just don't want to be there… that hits hard!!

I'm 64 yo and I'm okay with that. The biggest surprise for me, at this age, is the age discrimination out there. Ageism is real. It's the only "ism" that is tolerated.

Polishing the turf and working in a restaurant are 2 of the biggest gems in this video.

At 70... totally agree with all of those comments/advise...been thru it all...a lot of times when I look back ...my SOUL HURTS! WANNA YELL SCREAM AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE...SUCH IS LIFE! LIVE YOUR BEST LIGE! BALANCE...IS KEY! I PUSHED AND PUSHED AND PUSHED THRU MY ENTIRE LIFE SINCE CHILDHOOD WHERE I WAS FORCED TO BECOME ADULT as a teenager/while in school/holding down 9 to 5 job etc..TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE in the household due to losing mother at age 5....an adult starting since teenager...right up until 65...when I decided... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH... TIME FOR ...ME...NOW! ALTHOUGH DEALING WITH ALL KINDS OF MEDICAL ISSUES TODAY...DUE TO ...STRESS TRAUMA WEAR AND TEAR TO MY MENTAL AND PHYSICAL...THE LAST 60 YEARS... STARTED ASSUMING ADULT RESPONSIBILITY SINCE CHILDHOOD... GROWING UP... MOTHERLESS

After watching your content in last few days I have started interacting with Locals and its been amazing. I don't know how I even lived before.

One of the best things that could happen to a person in their middle 20s is to get sick and weak almost to death, but recover. They the person has the opportunity to act on the knowledge of the finite nature of life while still possessing the energy of youth. I say this as a person who sailed though life with unusual strength and stamina right up until my mid 50s. No matter what stupid things I did, I always had my physical strength. Then it was gone. That's a bad time to begin on the knowledge of the finite nature of life because the energy of youth is in the past.

I remember being 11 and thinking 18/19 was ancient. If that helps... I realized, it's not so much the age but how I thought about it. Then I remember turning 31 and realizing 'Gee, If the next 10 years pass as quickly as the last 10 years did, and they have, then 50 and 60 aren't old because they'll be here before I know it.' I'll be 43 in November wondering where the last 5 months went. "The days are long but the decades are short."

"I am not okay with polishing the turd" is a great statement.

1 I wouldn't have wasted so much time sitting around feeling sorry for myself every time something terrible happened. 2 I would have listened to criticism and used it to improve. Rather than being dismissive, I would have used the critique to make improvements. Or alternatively go in another direction. I thought my determination was a virtue. 3 I would not have spent so much time worshiping celebrities and trying to emulate them. 4 I would have given up on people so much sooner. I tried obsessively to make it work when I knew it was hopeless. 5 I would have used failures as teachable moments. If I course-corrected after each failure, I would have gotten so much further. 6 I wouldn't have wasted so much time ruminating on things over which I had no control. 7 I wouldn't have been so nice to and tolerant of morons. 8 I wouldn't let anyone get close enough to me to hurt me. 9 I would have recognized a hopeless situation and moved on. 10 I would have surrounded myself with better people.

I worry too much about stuff, and most of the time, I feel like I don't live my life as I would like. I am 32 years old and toward 33. Now, I overthink what I can do to enjoy simple things around me and move on

I've already seen so many of these but they never tire me. So full of wisdom nuggets.

Steve Job said it well. Here's what he said: “I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. If you want to be wildly successful, you need to love what you do and do it with passion. No matter what you sell, you need to love it.”

Your videos are SO amazing and real. The advice is SO GREAT! Time to listen up! 😊

I'm nearly 50 and that guy in the glasses is absolutely SPOT ON. They all had good pearls of wisdom to share 🙂

I'm glad to see that, at 48, it's not just me thinking these things! Thanks for that!

Your manner with people is so lovely. You have created a great channel. Blessings!

It's inspiring to hear from those who've walked the path ahead, sharing wisdom to guide our journey. Remembering to pursue our passions, embrace failure, and cherish each moment can truly shape a life without regret! 🌟

One of your absolute best videos. 👏👏

This was golden! I had to share this video because I personally know too many who seem unaware to this information. Lucky for me at 31y/o my trials & tribulations so far help me resonate with about 98% of what these ppl said. I went from pursuing a career in tech to focusing on what I truly want in life and I feel so much better about that decision. I no longer sacrifice things that are important to me like happiness for the sake of common societal norms that don’t align with who I am or my purpose.

Love what you do. Thank you for this content. 👏🥰❤️

I just turned 30 recently and my biggest regret is not sticking with things long enough to see results. I’ve definitely done a lot of cool things, but I spent my early 20s bouncing around so much because I wasn’t seeing results quick enough

Only work in jobs where you're content and want to go to everyday. You may get more money in another job Yet really hate going to in the end its just not worth being miserable everyday

I needed this , thank you🤍

I'm 47 years old......spent my entire 20s and 30s working 3 to 4 jobs and 100 hours a week to make enough money to buy my own house and move the heck out of my parents' house and be financially independent. I've finally become a multi-millionaire and own my own house mortgage free. But in the end, even though I've achieved all my goals, I feel empty inside 😢. I spent my entire life focusing on money and financial independence, I didn't enjoy my life. My parents are dead, and everyone that treated me horribly in the house I grew up in died. I've come to realize enjoying your life while accomplishing your goals is very important. Don't be like me - just working away your life.

Comepltely agree with the ‘working in a restaurant’ comment. It really does give you a perspective on things.. and I can spot those who have never worked with/for the public.

The way you placed that Opera browser was so smooth 🔥

Awesome to see advice from real world people most of us can relate to.

What I appreciate that even at 50 they don’t take the advice that they are giving. You should never give up. Be ambitious at any age!

Great video. Should listen to this everyday to set you priorities and perspective in the right direction.

I really love your contents!

Great clip! As a 48y old, I agree with all the folks on the clip. I live a happy, great life but have a few regrets..thanks for sharing.

Thanks for being so honest& vulnerable to us ❤ you safe so many people with this. Can anyone who is in the movie industry consider this man as an actor? He seems to burn for it 🎉

A really spectacular video. You elicit brilliance and love.

So much real wisdom

“ polishing the turd” definitely going to be using that term in the future 😂

It’s incredible to hear the obsession with age from youngsters these days. They talk about 30, 40, 50 year olds like their lives are over. Stop obsessing over age and grow a pair. Just get out there and do things and stop thinking that your 20s is the only time of your life that’s gonna matter. It’s not that hard.

46 years old here. This is great info and should be a required watch for any young adult.

Great finds! Thank you 🙏

I love this content brother...bless bless

As a man at the age of 54 , really great job with this .

Thanks for the video

wonderful video - I think that even as a 26 year old tumbling through life, I am gradually taking life a little less seriously and enjoying the more important things in life like family and friends... Even though, ambition is still important I think that I can see my priorities shifting. Everyone lives long enough to experience hardship, crisis, existential problems and I think this is why age brings wisdom and insight for those that have yet to go through those experiences.

That actor guy is great .. he still has time .. good 20 yrs .. 50s isn't that old mate

Lovely video, thank you for sharing!

Great video and great advice but I have come to realise that you need to have a certain amount of experience and maturity to internalise these advices and that comes with age. Like everyone else, sometimes I think back and have regrets but then I also realise there are things I could not have done differently given my age, mindset, circumstances, finances, peer pressures, environment etc at that time. I cannot fully trust my mind now in remembering how I made the decisions to do what I did. I might be under peer pressure when I made that decision but I can never be sure now unless I wrote it down. So now I just trust that whatever things that I have done and decisions that I have made are what I thought was the best option at that time. It makes me more conscious of living in the moment and making decisions now. I’m 52 but somehow don’t feel like I’m already in my 50s. I’m glad I made it so far in one piece and in relatively good health as I’ve known and seen people leaving this earth way younger. I’m glad I had the chance to live through the glorious 80s and early 90s. Those from the era will know what I’m talking about 😊

I dono about others, but you changed my mindset thank you, hope we meet someday:)

Phenomenal content

Some people sleep through life while others live in their dreams.😂

"lame corporate job" yeah, I quit the best job in my life when I was 30, because I never dreamed it would be that hard to find another salaried position with benefits working in a non-toxic environment. The main problem I had with the work was that it was meaningless and boring, after 30 years poverty - I want that back!! worst decision of my life

Useful insights ❤

Amazing video!!

Beautiful! 💗 Important.

Appreciate their insight. Hope most of the younger folks learn something from their responses.

Thanks.

I think that such interviews are only half the equation. Because many people answer like their life has already ended. I would love to hear a follow up question - with what you just said, what you changed in your life in last year? If someone says they wanted to travel more I would like to hear - but do you travel now? Do you use every opportunity you have? Unless they follow their own advice the wole thing is BS.

"I'm not okay, polishing the turd 💩" 😂 Great advice lady

You’re resilient and full of energy when young. It tapers off with age. It’s like a trade off. Nike says Just Do It which sums up most of their regrets. Restaurant work definitely would help. Especially youngsters. You don’t make much and work your butt off. You appreciate higher paying jobs afterwards. Plus know what hard work means. You value the dollar 💵 more too. 😊

@53 I would advice myself - have mentors - don fear to fail at something. You ll learn from that - do something you enjoy and gives you purpose

The restaurant or low wage job is a good idea for younger people, especially teenagers, because it gives you (or it should) incentive to increase your skill set and experience so that you are able to add more value in the marketplace and procure better employment. When I was washing dishes and bussing tables at a banquet hall throughout high school, it never dawned on me to push for a “living wage” so I could do that job forever. It motivated me to get my act together and focus on expanding my capabilities through education and a mindset shift through seeking advice from the business owner as well as learning the basics of responsibility, reliability, workplace discipline, etc.

all the money in the world wont help if you don’t want to be there- so true

I've missed your videos.

Great stuff

Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart for making these videos. It’s so meaningful and warms my heart to hear all this advice as a 21 year old tryna get a grasp at this life thing. You are such a pure, genuine guy and deserve thr world

Though not a regret, the most life changing thing I did was to travel in my 20s, preferably backpacking style. Even domestically is fine. Do it before you have real responsibilities, before your body starts breaking down and your energy level isn't what it used to be. As for backpacking style, it teaches a person to be a minimalist and see that sometimes we can give up on certain luxuries. Whenever the working life gets too repetitive and mundane, I always think back on my backpacking experiences. It's a big world out there and our small bubble of a daily life is just one way of living it. Traveling prevents tunnel vision and helps us to see the bigger perspective in life.

Life is all about you. Don’t let other people push you around or keep you trapped

At age 61 now, my advice to my younger self would be, "Come out as a younger person. Do not worry about what people think about your sexual orientation. Most people will like the real you and find you more interesting than a fake you. Those who don't like the real you are just draining your energy, reinforcing a false narrative about yourself and need to be left at the curb sooner rather than later."

5.25......the woman is just spot on.

The guy in red, he's only 34, it's not over yet buddy!

Great video

Lol. . . 34 yrs old, c'mon Sprouht. They're just getting started themselves let's talk in 10 to 15 years from now.

its never too late to know these things

Very good much needed advice, thank you all. I must do the best I can before I pass on to hereafter! Accept myself! Be myself unapologetically as I learn and grow!!!

Another one for sprouht

I'm 72 and agree with them all.

dope!

I would recommend reading a book called The Power of Regret.

I am 55. Don’t dwell on the past. Learn to love yourself and the people in your life first and foremost.

The guy with the red blazer was my manager in a restaraunt that has since closed called “watty & Meg”. Personally didn’t like him but he was a coworker. Hope you doing good man.

These are not advice.. more like projection of regrets. I think advice act as a guide for someone to achieve what you've accomplished. They aren't be cautionary, and offer a new perspective, without saying you need to do this, or shouldn't do this. Advice speaks softly, and says.. you might consider this as well.

Welcome in New Delhi

1:50 most important lesson

Try to be happy as present and start baby steps of improving. Sometimes you may need disciplines that can prevent to hurt your beliefs, and sometimes you may need a flexible space that can prevent to stress yourself.

A lot of wisdom gotten the hard way, through experience.

Actually I've been saying this to people since I was 20 .. thought I was crazy

I do like your channel a lot ❤ but I have a suggestion, could you interview a more diverse audience such as people from Asian and African descent? Just to get a bit more diverse perspective on how everyone feels about those issues you try to bring out 😊.

At 74, I jumped into several different careers. Mostly bc I didn't really know what I wanted to do and didn't have a lotta confidence. But each one was a great ride learning something new. The most enjoyable and meaningful was being a Mom. My regret was not being picky enough when choosing a husband. 😏

I am 56 - the advice I give to younger people is try to never say "I wish I...." I was going to move to LA after college (90) - I got a job back in NYC so I stayed - I always regretted that, I tell them - you can always move back if it doesn't work out, but if you don't go you will always regret not doing it, you most probably won't regret doing it. The other thing is I wish I was not so afraid of failing - I had some very vey good opportunities that I didn't succeed in because I was afraid of failing - Time flies by, cliche but true - feels like I graduated for school last May - not 34 May's ago....
