1
What's a big mistake that you made or a big regret that you have that taught you a valuable lesson?
2
I was just kind of pushed around by life.
3
The courage of your convictions.
4
Try to have it.
5
It was a horrible nightmare.
6
I didn't want that.
7
I don't see any hope right now.
8
Have you ever wondered what the regrets of some of the oldest and wisest people in the world are?
9
What about their best pieces of life advice for someone of your age?
10
In this video, I will be in New York City, asking strangers in their 90s about their secrets to living a longer,
11
greater, and more fulfilling life.
12
And trust me when I say this, their advice will blow your mind.
13
How old are you?
14
I'm going to be 91 in April.
15
90 years old.
16
I'm 100 years old.
17
A century.
18
A long time.
19
What's your date of birth?
20
November 23rd, 1924.
21
Wow.
22
I'm 85, which I cannot believe.
23
What does it feel like to be 85?
24
I don't know what 85 is.
25
I have no clue.
26
I'm dancing tango.
27
I do everything everybody does.
28
You know, logically, you know your life is ending.
29
While we always forget that our life, your life, any minute can end.
30
It's a little shocking, really.
31
My high school friends and I, who I still see sometimes, they're all saying we never knew we would make it this long.
32
But we did.
33
Used to be we were older at 65.
34
But at 65, no one's old.
35
At 85, I began to slow down, not do the stuff I could do.
36
Why do you think that you're like this and there's so many other 85-year-olds that are not?
37
I'm so curious.
38
I'm so interested.
39
Every day, it's like a cabinet of curiosity for me.
40
I think attitude has a lot to do with it.
41
Sometimes not taking life too seriously.
42
Laughter is important, and kindness is extremely important.
43
What do you think led you to be 93?
44
Well, nothing led me.
45
I just am.
46
What leads you to be whatever age you are?
47
No, but you lived longer than most people still, right?
48
Because I didn't have a fatal illness.
49
I mean, if I'd had a heart attack, I wouldn't have been anything.
50
If you compare when you were a kid growing up, do you think it's harder for someone to grow up today in this world or easier?
51
Yes, I think it's harder because they don't know what's going on.
52
Changes are so rapid.
53
It took 200 years for this country to be a safe democracy where people came to be free.
54
And no matter how poor you are, if you work hard enough, maybe the gold wasn't in the streets,
55
but you could work hard and become somebody.
56
And today, everyone is terrified, and the world has changed.
57
So was it easier to be young then?
58
Indeed it was.
59
Indeed it was.
60
You have to be a jack-of-all-trades, and then a dollar doesn't go anywhere here at this time.
61
Well, in mine, I could hitchhike around Europe for less than $5 a day.
62
You know, we left a big mess behind us.
63
If I were your age, I'd really bitch.
64
My first job, I got paid $45 a week, and I could live on that.
65
Think of it.
66
The price of a bagel now.
67
I know.
68
It's just ridiculous.
69
Now, it's hard.
70
It's really hard.
71
Everybody's in finance and business because they have to get their student loans paid off.
72
So we're kind of ruining the whole point of the education?
73
It's changed it, that's for sure.
74
Are you, were you married?
75
With that lady there here.
76
Married for three years wow so you got married at 87.
77
you've been married three years you got married at 90 to a younger man you're a cougar congratulations how's
78
that feel thank you robbing the cradle I was married.
79
In fact, my husband just died on February 3rd.
80
Oh, wow.
81
I'm sorry.
82
How long were you guys together?
83
60 years.
84
Wow.
85
My husband passed away, but we were married for 66 years, so that was a long marriage.
86
Wow.
87
When did he, how long ago?
88
Actually, it was only a couple, almost two years that he passed away he had a very bad dementia.
89
66 years together.
90
What do you think is the secret to that marriage lasting 66 years?
91
A sense of humor.
92
We both could laugh.
93
Yeah.
94
I was about 21.
95
I never expected to get married that early.
96
In fact, I didn't expect to get married at all.
97
I didn't have more than two boyfriends at the most.
98
But when I met my husband, somehow I knew he was nothing like I expected him to be.
99
but he was the one who was going to live with me for 65 years
100
and indeed he did everyone loved him they would have done anything for him he wasn't handsome he wasn't tall
101
but he was just a really wonderful wonderful man are you married no
102
now i'm divorced now you're divorced i'm i'm a divorced woman two years ago two years yeah
103
and how long were you guys together for we were we were not together for 20 years
104
but he wouldn't we lived kind of family and everything
105
and he always had a girlfriend for 20 something years
106
but two years ago he finally asked me
107
because she asked him to marry him finally wow 20 years he was still a family man
108
and he was still you know a good friend I can't see that always so black and white.
109
What is a lesson that you learn if you're looking back on everything that happened there, the lesson that that taught you about life?
110
I have always been enormously compassionate, and I always see the other side and maybe too much of it.
111
I could see that he wanted something other than me.
112
I was very powerful and very strong and very opinionated.
113
And I think that had its 20 years,
114
and after that he looked for someone who was more looking up at him and seeing him as a teacher or something.
115
You know, you go into things with as good a heart as you could go into it.
116
If it doesn't work, it's not a total loss.
117
I mean, we had these great children.
118
I did care a lot about them.
119
I'm not sorry that I did it.
120
It just didn't work.
121
Can you define the word love?
122
Love means being obsessed by somebody.
123
What I have felt in this relationship is that I haven't felt any red flags.
124
So, okay, so love is no red flags.
125
I had a friend who once said, I love it in life when all of a sudden the lights go green.
126
That's what's happened.
127
I like that you're looking at him too when you said all this.
128
It's something I'm always looking for and I'm completely open.
129
The interesting thing is I have in one book I wrote about in American we say falling in love.
130
Falling and it means like you fall down because you can't fall upwards.
131
It is not so really what I think is correct.
132
Love should be much more a meeting.
133
But I do think it is the most powerful feeling and the most powerful drive is love.
134
It really is.
135
So you're born in 1934?
136
1934. So you get out of college, let's say you're in the 1950s what what is
137
that like what was set up for me was to become a stock broker
138
or make a and go into business make money have a lawn have a wife
139
that smiled have kids that you know
140
that also smile it was a horrible nightmare of a vision i didn't want
141
that so i took an end run
142
and i i had been in europe for my junior year
143
and i got a sense of it so i i met an italian woman and we
144
And she lived in Rome and then I ended up in Rome.
145
And I look at all my co-inhabitants here.
146
And they all went the business way.
147
They made enough money to be comfortable.
148
I got to the same place doing what I wanted to do.
149
So you were coming out of college and you felt the pressure to go and be a stockbroker.
150
Who was pressuring you to do that?
151
My father took me to his office.
152
You know, he confirmed my conviction that I didn't want to do that.
153
Was he mad?
154
Was he mad?
155
He was disappointed.
156
He was a wonderful, happy success.
157
I have a brother who became an opera singer.
158
He looked at us and said, who the hell are these kids?
159
They're not mine.
160
A lot of people try to set goals for themselves, but they don't end up achieving them.
161
Why do you think that most people set goals, but they don't achieve them?
162
I wasn't very focused.
163
I didn't have enough confidence to know what to do.
164
I was just kind of pushed around by life.
165
I think you're lucky if you stumble into something that interests you
166
and you stay with it because one thing does lead to another.
167
And if you keep doing what you're doing, it will open up something else for sure.
168
And then that will take you someplace else.
169
I'm sure that's happened to you already with your own life.
170
Yeah.
171
Well, when I quit my job six years ago, there's no way I would have known I'd be speaking to you, interviewing people.
172
I have to try something, let life take me there, open up ideas, next step, next step, next step.
173
There's no path, right?
174
Yeah, you're living proof of what it is.
175
And maybe you'll talk to somebody who will send you in a completely different direction.
176
And if they don't, so what?
177
Then maybe it's good to stay where you are and dig in and get even better at it.
178
There's so many chances that sort of flukes happen that open up things.
179
If your eyes are open and you're looking for it, I think you can get something interesting if you're looking for it.
180
Don't you?
181
Yeah, but people don't know how to look.
182
Maybe.
183
A lot of people don't lead life following their heart.
184
They follow what other people think is good.
185
Right.
186
They're waiting around to be told what to do.
187
Did you yourself care a lot about what other people thought?
188
Oh, I was a perfect people pleaser.
189
I was really good at it.
190
A lot of people go through life wishing they would have learned certain lessons sooner.
191
What is a truth that you have learned about life that you wish more people understood?
192
That most things just happen.
193
You can't change them.
194
If you could actually manage your life, then obviously you'd want to make as much money as you could and be as healthy as you could,
195
but these things just happen.
196
That even though they do not believe that they are worthy,
197
that they have to try to do the best that they can, even though it seems impossible,
198
and it was impossible, to try to do the best and not give up.
199
I had a wonderful mother and she always would say things like everybody's a nice person until they show themselves differently.
200
You know this is such a lovely country
201
and in this country you can be anything you want to be
202
but I want you to be kind and that stuck with me.
203
She was always so complimentary, gave me a lot of self-confidence.
204
I don't know if anybody agreed with her, but...
205
The words people tell you is what you end up listening to?
206
That's true.
207
That's true.
208
Even though somebody else might contradict that, it didn't really matter.
209
Because then you start believing, because you heard it so much, that that's your opinion, and it doesn't matter to me what you think.
210
What's a big mistake that you made, or a big regret that you have that taught you a valuable lesson?
211
I think what I regret the most is not having the courage to be myself.
212
I'm getting that.
213
That's one of the benefits of being 93.
214
I lost a lot by not being myself and by letting other people define stuff for me, that I shouldn't have let them do that.
215
To the person who feels that way, who's watching, what do you say?
216
The courage of your convictions.
217
Try to have it.
218
If you could go back in time to being 25 years old and you knew everything you knew today,
219
you could give that version of yourself one piece of advice on living a good life.
220
What would you say to her?
221
Listen to yourself.
222
What is it what I want and what I mean?
223
Listen to yourself because it is the only thing you really have and you can change.
224
Everything else is like rain.
225
If you say go back up rain, it will not listen to you.
226
Know yourself.
227
You have the power.
228
You'd be my age.
229
I'm 25.
230
Are you 25?
231
Wow, that's amazing.
232
That's great.
233
Why is it great?
234
Well, because you've done so much with yourself.
235
You've got an interesting life for yourself and career.
236
And I hadn't even thought of that at that time.
237
I think I just had these sort of, they were okay jobs, but they were just sort of typing for somebody.
238
This is my point.
239
You are making a really interesting career for yourself, and you're well into it.
240
Thank you.
241
Basically, you've got to migrate back to yourself.
242
You can't avoid being a people pleaser.
243
So it's a journey back through that desire to be approved of and be loved to who you are.
244
But just try to get in touch with yourself if it's possible.
245
The years are short, yeah.
246
So it reminds you, it brings you back to the self.
247
And that's where you're going to learn.
248
Reflect on what you're doing at this moment, because you're constantly rush, rush, rush.
249
Get this done, get that.
250
And you're multitasking until you can't stand yourself.
251
The next thing you know, it's 30 years later, and there you are.
252
Trying not to dwell on things too much.
253
Some people do have very,
254
very difficult lives, and they never let that aspect of that life go they hang on to it until they're 100.
255
That's foolish.
256
That was then.
257
This is now.
258
And when it starts getting good, and even if it's not all good,
259
you don't hang on to all those things and you don't be so judgmental.
260
Oh, this person doesn't belong here or this person doesn't look right.
261
I don't want to sit with her.
262
I just never had that kind of attitude.
263
And maybe that's why I lived so long too.
264
Thank you so much for watching this video.
265
If you enjoyed it, guess what?

القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| الجمل الشرطية if + جملة، will/would + فعل — شرط ونتيجته | If I were your age, I'd really |
| المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن | Have you ever wondered · has changed · you've been |
| جمل الوصل who / which + جملة — معلومة إضافية عن شخص أو شيء | one who was · someone who was · friend who once |
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | being obsessed · was set · be told |
نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 89 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل you're, I'm, don't. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “sh” و“zh”: rush /ɹʌʃ/, conviction /kənˈvɪkʃən/, shock /ʃɔk/, congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, foolish /ˈfuː.lɪʃ/
- الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: ridiculous /ɹɪˈdɪk.jə.ləs/, disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, differently /ˈdɪf.ə.ɹənt.li/, curiosity /ˌkjʊɹ.iˈɑ.sə.ti/
أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: compare /kəmˈpɛɚ/, disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, aspect /ˈæspɛkt/, rapid /ˈɹæp.ɪd/, opera /ˈɒp.ə.ɹə/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: divorce /dɪˈvɔːs/, conviction /kənˈvɪkʃən/, approve /əˈpɹuːv/
- تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: curious /ˈkjʊɹ.i.əs/, aspect /ˈæspɛkt/, congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, reflect /ɹɪˈflɛkt/, remind /ɹəˈmaɪnd/
كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ابدأ بسرعة 0.75×، وردّد جملة جملة، ثم عُد إلى السرعة العادية عندما يصبح الأمر سهلًا.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل lesson, regret, rush.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
