When you're young, you're so quick to judge.

It takes guts to do that.

The world around you changes and you have to change.

If death comes, I wouldn't be too upset.

I don't want to die.

I feel like, what's the point of living?

That's I guess my big regret.

Today I'm asking strangers in their 70s, 80s, and 90s what advice they would give to their younger self.

These interviews were filmed over the last few months in different parts of the world but never shown before.

Yet the advice that is given is some of the most powerful and interesting that I've ever heard to date.

So without further ado, let's jump into it.

How old are you?

69. 71.

What does it feel like to be 69 and 71?

Well, beginning to feel a little bit older.

I mean, up to I'd say last year, I was like in the greatest shape of my life.

I mean, we did the Compostela in Spain and we walked.

So we were training, we were in great shape, but I'm feeling, I'm beginning to feel my age this year.

I live on my own, so it does get lonely and it just feels lonelier each year, I think.

I'm still working a bit and I need to work to feel as though I'm still contributing to something.

I feel like I'm a 39-year-old person trapped in a body that can't do the things I want to do anymore.

OK, updated version with Russell.

Russell, how old are you?

I'll be 97 in November.

What does it feel like to be 97 soon?

It's interesting.

I live with my son now and otherwise I couldn't make it.

I'm so limited in what I can do now.

It's so frustrating.

Can't go to restaurants, can't go to movies, just completely like a prisoner of old age.

If death comes, I wouldn't be here to look such.

It's over, it's over.

I've had plenty of years.

I don't want to die and yet I figure, what's the point of living?

How old are you?

82.

Angela?

87.

What does it feel like to be 82 and 87?

I'm a kid.

She's a kid.

I'm a kid.

Attitude's good.

You've got to be around young people, not around old people.

That's the gig.

What do you do to be around young people?

You have them at your house.

You bring them in, entertain them, hang around with them.

That's it.

Our grandchildren's friends who are at McGill, we've been having them for dinners for many years now.

It's depressing to be around old people all the time.

If you ask them how they are, they're going to tell you.

And that's not so much fun.

The key is don't ask how old they are.

Never ask that question.

Never ask that question.

What's one thing that when you were younger you put a lot of importance on and as you got older you realized it wasn't actually that important?

I think maybe personal possessions, your clothing, your jewelry, your things that really don't count for anything.

What is more important?

Your relationships with everybody and the world and the planet.

How do you have a good relationship?

How do you know what a good relationship is?

You feel good.

You feel comfortable.

You feel protected.

You trust the person you have the relationship with.

And hopefully you're not disappointed.

I put a lot of importance on what I'm doing when I was younger.

Now I'm putting more emphasis and importance on what is important to the people around me because I find that if they're functioning well, I'm functioning better too.

What's one thing you put a lot of importance on when you were younger and as you got older you realized it wasn't worth worrying about?

I guess what other people thought.

My mother was very influential in what I could and couldn't do, even as an adult.

She didn't want me to travel on my own.

And you never did it in the end?

Not very much, no.

I didn't do as much traveling as I should have.

That's I guess my big regret that I didn't see more of the world.

What's a big risk that you guys took that changed the outcome of your life?

Rachel.

You gotta have your mate with you as long as possible when you get older.

To be single when you get older is not good at all.

How long have you guys been married for?

It's going to be 60 years in October.

What has gone you 60 years?

Still happy?

I'm assuming, right?

Still happy?

Still enjoying?

There's a couple of days here and there that are pretty good.

What's the secret to a long lasting relationship?

You gotta be flexible.

You can't be dogmatic.

You're not always right.

She's not always right.

That's the way it is.

I know what she's going to say.

You told me I'm a lot of talk, so I'm talking.

You can't let things fester.

You got something on your head, you talk about it, you resolve it, finish it.

Can you define the word love for me?

I don't know what the hell that is.

I can't define it.

If you can smile, you're, you know, regularly, you're okay.

A lot of it is it's caring, it's respect.

And I mean, love.

What's love?

He's crazy for her, you know.

Life worked very well when, after I met, my first husband died.

After I married John, life was just very, very good.

We've been fortunate enough to always travel, so we've been almost everywhere.

We've just had a wonderful life.

We're very lucky.

So you guys are both on your second marriage.

Can you define the word love?

I'd say love is care.

It's a big word, but I think love means caring for someone.

It lasts.

It just lasts.

My wife died a couple of years ago, and my son moved into my apartment.

He's making life livable for me.

How long were you and your wife together before she passed?

About 65 years.

Can you define the word love?

It's hard to put into words, but it's a feeling of completeness, and I miss her.

What's a big mistake that you made or a big regret you have that you learned a valuable lesson from?

Perhaps I would have made more of an effort to have found a partner after my husband died, and I didn't.

And, you know, in a way, I became stronger because I had to take care of everything myself.

But, you know, it would have been nice at this stage in my life to have a partner that I could, you know, walk with and talk with and travel with and so on.

A lot of people go through life wishing they would have learned certain things sooner or someone would have taught them something sooner.

What is a truth about life that you wish more people understood?

It's to accept differences, to try and understand the reasons why people behave as they do, even though their behavior might not be your type of behavior.

I guess watching politics the way we watch politics or the way politics confronts us every day, before you jump to the conclusion that X is evil and Y is great, you try and look at the bigger picture and what makes people the way they are.

When you're young, you're so quick to judge.

This is my view and off I go sort of thing.

I would say being kind is not enough of that.

You know, the word that keeps coming to me is respect.

You don't pick fights.

Respect.

You have to have your parents teach you those things.

You don't know what it is when you're a kid, right?

You watch your parents, how they react.

You follow them.

And both our parents had very good marriages.

Yeah, and they were not rich.

Money was not the issue.

You know, they were not rich, but they were rich in every other way.

And as you say, you never knew you were poor.

I never knew I was poor.

And I was poor when I was young.

Not everyone had food on the table because somebody brought it over.

That was life.

What did you guys do for a living?

I'm a nurse.

I'm a physician.

Did you love what you did?

If you don't enjoy work, you're really in trouble.

Let me tell you.

A lot of people work in jobs they're not happy with.

And you know what?

It shows on their face and their demeanor.

Their attitude.

Yeah.

What's your advice to that?

How do we do what we love?

Do it.

Do it.

You have to adapt.

Nothing's gonna be a straight line.

The world around you changes and you have to change.

If you don't, if you're an unadaptable person, you're never gonna be happy even if you have a good job.

Yeah.

So click the link in our description to learn more and not just listen to the advice you hear from these elders, but start making serious upgrades to your life.

If you could go back in time knowing what you know today and give your younger self one piece of advice, what would you say to him?

Speak up more.

I did a lot of just listening and packing knowledge away, but I didn't really express it until I was a lot older.

It takes guts to do that.

You do learn more by risking like that than you do by keeping things to yourself.

I would have saved a lot more money along the way because I am working because I need to, as well as to be connected, but I do actually need it financially.

You know what?

You learn as you go along, and we don't give our kids advices.

People have to learn.

They put one foot in front of the other and they learn as they go along.

And experiment.

Don't always go with your neighbors next door.

There's a guy across the street.

You should know what he's like too because if you know what other people are like, you'll appreciate more people around you too.

Is there something that you had specifically or no, an advice for your younger self?

No, I don't think anything else.

No.

I mean, we're perfect.

We're tens, you know.

Jesus, Murphy.

We're going to end up on the garbage floor in this interview.

You said that your family showed you the last time that we interviewed you, right?

Oh yeah.

I've seen it on television.

I was pleased to see it.

And my whole family and friends enjoyed it.

I never thought I'd miss you guys again.

Still walking.

We're still meeting you in the same park.

No fuck.
