“Don’t listen to other people’s advice. Nobody knows what the hell they’re doing.”
That’s advice from a 93-year-old to someone two years younger. It’s part of this great video from Wiretap, a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation show that recently called it quits after 11 years.
The video features people from age 7 to 93 sharing advice with those younger than them specific to their age — a 7-year-old gives pithy advice to a 6-year-old (“training wheels are for babies, just let go already”), and an 8-year-old gives advice to a 7-year-old (“no matter what anyone says, stay weird.”)
The subjects share brief and important life lessons that are telling of their age. A 91-year-old woman tells someone three years younger to “cultivate younger friends. Otherwise, yours will all die off.” And a man in his 20s just says to back up your hard drive.
What have you learned at your age? Share advice in the comments.
