تدريب Shadowing: Life Regrets of 90 Year Olds - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

If you could speak to your 20-year-old self, what would you say?

I'd say keep going, enjoy yourself, keep busy, just take life as it comes.

Don't worry about too many problems, you can't solve them all yourself.

I would decide that I wouldn't want to go back to 20 years of myself.

I like my life the way it is.

I don't want to go back.

And I hear people say, oh, the good old days.

Oh, I wish I was back.

I said, not me.

I want to go forward and find out what it's going to be like forward, not backwards.

I'm not a backwards person.

I think the same thing that I did say to myself, and that is keep having fun while you're doing your life.

Make sure you are honest about it.

And don't expect to find everyone as you would like them to be.

Every individual is each an individual and each have their own pluses and minuses.

Get up and do more.

Go enjoy yourself more.

I was a little afraid to do stuff and go out.

I should have went out more.

What do you mean by that?

Go where?

Go anywhere.

Go on trips.

I've never been to another country.

I could have went to another country.

Sort of scares me.

I don't like flying.

I don't even remember back that far.

20 years old.

I was still in college.

I was married.

I had one son.

My best advice would be think twice before you marry a minister.

It's a very demanding job.

I'd say, keep on this road, keep going, love everyone, and just be happy with where you are.

I'm probably going to freak out everybody, but pray.

God's the only one that can change things.

You can't change them if they're really bad, but He can in an instant.

Oh, they think that once we're old, you can just shove us in a closet and we don't have any mind to think with.

I mean, some of us don't, but I've been very blessed in that I have my own mind

and my own hearing and my own everything is still intact.

That is no fun to get old, but I think it is.

I think it is fun.

You could cherish everything.

Oh, growing old?

Yeah.

It's worse than you think if you don't have friends and people and you don't have your mind, I guess.

What would you say to somebody who's afraid of growing up?

You don't have a choice, so you might as well do the best you have.

It's one thing that nobody can tell you, tell you if you can do it or not.

They think it's hard.

It isn't.

It isn't hard at all, it's far too easy.

What do you mean?

Well, what I mean is that they think that life diminishes.

It doesn't.

It goes on exactly as you see it.

And if I see it as diminished, then it is diminished.

But I don't see it that way.

I see it as life changes as we go.

And it doesn't change a whole lot.

You still have the same values.

It's rather miraculous.

I don't have longevity in my family.

So for me to be 85, I've already outlived both of my parents.

and I had a major major fall last November so

that is why I am in this wonderful place I never thought

that I would live to see 85 to be quite honest

it's a God gift to me what does it feel like to be 92 same as always

Meaning I have plenty of energy and I can do anything I want to, almost.

I don't run anymore.

But, you know, my age is only a number.

If you think of yourself as being old, then you are.

If you don't think of yourself as being old, then you are where you are.

What does it feel like to be 97?

I'm lucky because I felt twice.

I broke my arm and wrist and side and I'm able to do everything back again.

And I'm fine.

I don't have to go to a doctor for a year.

I said well a year's a long time.

Who knows where I'll be.

It feels like an age.

I have no idea.

I've been through a heck of a lot in my age.

You look amazing, by the way.

You look amazing.

What does it feel like to be 90?

Nothing.

If my legs worked, I would still be out, working.

But my legs don't work anymore.

But no different.

I'm very blessed, I'm healthy, I can go places, I can walk properly.

I'm so blessed.

And so, it's actually fun.

You have to make your own secret to happiness, because if you don't, you won't be happy.

You have to learn to live with people and have to learn to agree on everything that you want to do.

And if you agree, it's fine.

If you don't, you let it go.

Be yourself and enjoy every moment of it of it.

100

You only have one life that we know of.

101

Actually, my belief is that we come back over and over and over again.

102

We've all lived hundreds of times, probably thousands of times throughout the millennia.

103

Well, you have to have a little fun too, but I did a lot of singing and that I loved the best

104

and I had a trio so we went around Boston singing

105

and we sang for a lot of service people and that really helped.

106

The key to happiness is to know your God and have a really good faith.

107

That's the key not only to happiness but to pure joy

108

and there's a difference don't ask me to explain it but joy and happiness are two different things.

109

External things can make you happy,

110

but it's the joy that comes from deep within and having a good faith.

111

Do you have any life regrets?

112

No. I shouldn't have married a second husband, but outside of that, I'm already sick.

113

Sure, lots of them.

114

But I can't tell you what they are.

115

They're not that important.

116

What do you mean?

117

Well, you know, if I said the wrong thing to someone at some point,

118

I would not like to be hurtful to anyone by saying the wrong thing or whatever.

119

You know, one needs to be kind to oneself and to others.

120

That's one of the most important things in life, is learning to be kind to yourself, learning to be kind to others, always.

121

No exceptions.

122

If I had my life to live over again, I would live it exactly the same way.

123

I'd like to take more trips.

124

I have a bucket list that's still a mile long, which I know will never get fulfilled.

125

I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that my life changed drastically when I fell a year ago in November

126

and broke my femur.

127

My sons and my brother kept saying, you'll never go home.

128

and I wanted to prove them wrong, and they weren't.

129

And so I kind of do it vicariously.

130

Each time my grandson or my granddaughter go someplace, I live that through them.

131

My older son right now is in Scotland with his wife.

132

I'm living that vicariously through them.

133

And they're very good about sending me pictures and letting me know how things are.

134

Boy, that's a really good question.

135

When I was young and in my early 20s, yeah, there was regrets because of the way I got pregnant.

136

My mom and dad were embarrassed and furious at me,

137

so they didn't like the fact that I was pregnant so young and unmarried.

138

As life went on, they became calmer about it.

139

And you know, the most wonderful thing are people and your children.

140

I think you should be kind to people

141

and I try not to argue with anybody

142

because it doesn't do any good and

143

when they got in trouble I just rolled my eyes and they'd laugh so that that would solve it.

144

I'm still enjoying life.

145

I tell the kids Don't worry about anything when I leave because I had a great life.

146

And I did a lot of traveling when I could.

147

I'd go on the cruises and things like that.

148

So I can't complain.

149

To be good to people.

150

To be good to you.

151

because if you don't love yourself, you don't love anybody.

152

How do you love yourself?

153

I love myself because I am happy.

154

I'm still kicking, essentially.

155

And I am enjoying life, and I enjoy life here.

156

Everybody is good to me.

157

and I'm equally good to them.

158

Don't be rude to anybody.

159

Be loving to all because love is the answer and the key to almost everything in this world.

160

Being good to one another, being kind to one another, loving to one another.

161

How do you do that when it feels impossible?

162

Pray.

163

Just simply pray.

164

Briefly, and the Lord will guide you.

165

Thank you.
