00:00If you are 70, 80 years old and can still do the following nine things, you are a rare gem.
00:10Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
00:17Mark Twain
00:18If you are 70 to 80 years old and can still do the following nine things, you are a rare gem destined for a long, fulfilling life.
00:30We all aspire to live longer, healthier lives, but as we age, it becomes increasingly challenging to maintain our independence and vitality.
00:40Many never reach the age of 70, and those who do often face significant physical limitations, relying heavily on others for basic tasks.
00:50But there are those who defy these odds, those who, despite their age, continue to live with remarkable energy and self-sufficiency.
00:58Let's delve into what makes these individuals so special and how you can be among them.
01:061. Your mind is still sharp and you can see through people's tricks.
01:11If you are 70 to 80 years old and can still maintain a sharp mind that sees through people's tricks, you are indeed a rare gem in today's world.
01:24Many elderly individuals fall prey to various scams, often resulting in significant financial loss and emotional distress.
01:34They might be tricked into purchasing unnecessary financial products or health supplements, which can deplete their savings.
01:41The worst part is, many of them don't realize they've been scammed, and might even make decisions that could harm their families.
01:49It's crucial to stay vigilant and aware of everything around you, even if you sometimes pretend to be confused.
01:56A sharp mind can distinguish between genuine offers and deceitful schemes.
02:03Unscrupulous businesses often use free gifts as bait, offering emotional care, regular gatherings and gratitude events to gain information about your health, income and trust, ultimately pushing various health products on you.
02:17To avoid falling into these traps, steer clear of so-called expert consultations, free health check-ups, free lectures, organized tours and marketing events outside official business places.
02:33Remember, prevention is better than cure, and rejecting these scams also means rejecting superstitions.
02:40As the famous Buddhist saying goes, do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
02:50This wisdom reminds us to stay present and mindful, especially when navigating the complexities of modern life.
02:59Being aware of the tactics used by scammers and maintaining a sharp, critical mind can protect you and your loved ones from harm.
03:07It's also important to seek reliable sources of information and advice, perhaps from trusted family members or reputable organizations, rather than relying on strangers who may have hidden agendas.
03:21By staying informed and cautious, you can enjoy your golden years with peace of mind and financial security.
03:28In today's fast-paced world, where new scams emerge frequently, your ability to see through deceit and remain vigilant is more valuable than ever.
03:39This not only ensures your well-being, but also sets a strong example for younger generations, teaching them the importance of wisdom and mindfulness in everyday life.
03:51Remember, as the Buddha said, the mind is everything, what you think, you become.
03:59Keeping your mind sharp and alert allows you to live a fulfilling life, free from the worries and anxieties caused by deceit and trickery.
04:08So, continue to nurture your mental faculties, engage in activities that stimulate your intellect, and surround yourself with honest, supportive people who have your best interests at heart.
04:22By doing so, you not only protect yourself, but also contribute to a more honest and caring society, where the elderly are respected and valued for their wisdom and experience.
04:34When you reach the age of 70 to 80 and still find yourself in good physical shape, consider it a remarkable achievement.
04:50Your ability to care for your daily needs independently signifies the greatest blessing in old age, health.
04:58Health is a treasure that far surpasses material wealth, as being able to eat a simple bowl of vegetables on your own is infinitely more satisfying than relying on a caregiver, no matter the cost.
05:13Maintaining your health not only ensures a comfortable life for yourself, but also spares your children the burden of caregiving, a role no parent wishes to impose on their offspring.
05:24In good health, you can enjoy activities such as cooking, shopping, doing housework, and even lending a helping hand to your children.
05:34Staying active imbues life with a sense of purpose.
05:37The key to preserving health doesn't lie in extravagant diets or luxurious retreats, but in sustaining a positive mood.
05:46A positive outlook transforms your entire demeanor, enhancing your well-being.
05:51As you age, prioritizing your physical health becomes even more crucial.
05:58While it is natural for physical fitness to decline with age, maintaining good health hinges on daily exercise and, most importantly, a cheerful disposition.
06:10A good mood is the most effective medicine.
06:13Viewing life positively and minimizing anger significantly benefits your health.
06:19Happiness lifts the heart, alleviating stress and worries, which in turn fosters better health.
06:26Good health empowers you to lead an active life, preventing the emotional toll of becoming a burden to your family.
06:34Poor health can strain relationships with children and a spouse, leading to neglect and loneliness in old age.
06:41Many elderly individuals today lead vibrant, fulfilling lives, dancing in parks, hiking with friends, traveling, or engaging in hobbies like calligraphy, reading, and gardening.
06:54The secret to maintaining health lies in staying happy, eating well, sleeping adequately, and resting sufficiently.
07:04Over time, these habits enhance physical fitness.
07:08Your body, the foundation of your well-being, demands care.
07:12Embrace a positive attitude, keep an open mind, avoid anger, and exercise regularly to stay in good shape.
07:20Consider the story of an old monk in a Buddhist monastery who lived to be over a hundred years old.
07:28Despite his age, he performed daily chores, meditated, and taught younger monks.
07:33His secret, a balanced lifestyle, a peaceful mind, and a heart filled with compassion and joy.
07:41This story reminds us that the mind-body connection is powerful and essential for longevity.
07:48Reflecting on this, what practices do you incorporate into your daily routine to ensure you remain in good health and high spirits?
07:57How can you adapt the wisdom of staying active and maintaining a positive outlook in your own life?
08:03By sharing your thoughts and experiences, you can inspire others in our community to adopt healthier, happier lifestyles.
08:12The lesson here is clear.
08:13Nurture your health with a good mood, regular exercise, and a positive mindset,
08:19ensuring that your later years are filled with vitality and joy.
08:253. You have hobbies, and life is never boring.
08:29Imagine reaching the age of 70, or even 80, and still being able to enjoy life to the fullest.
08:38You are truly a rare gem if you can do so.
08:42And one of the most remarkable ways to achieve this is by maintaining hobbies that keep life vibrant and engaging.
08:50While vigorous exercise or dancing in the park might not be feasible for everyone,
08:55and sitting for long periods playing mahjong could be uncomfortable,
09:00finding hobbies that suit your lifestyle is essential.
09:04Whether it's chess, painting, singing, fishing, or any activity that brings you joy,
09:10having a passion can enrich your daily life and keep your spirit youthful.
09:15Maintaining a playful spirit is crucial.
09:18Many people feel a sense of loss after retirement,
09:21often losing interest in activities or becoming occupied with babysitting grandchildren,
09:27neglecting their own need for leisure.
09:29There's a misconception that the older we get, the more serious we should become.
09:34But on the contrary, embracing a playful attitude as you age is immensely beneficial.
09:40As the saying goes,
09:43in the end, it's not the years in your life that count,
09:46it's the life in your years.
09:49If you don't try the things you didn't dare to when you were younger,
09:53you might feel regret.
09:55Playing and engaging in enjoyable activities
09:58can bring confidence and joy back into your life.
10:02Studies have shown that elderly people who maintain a playful spirit
10:06tend to live longer.
10:08The physical decline, reduced self-care ability,
10:12and changes in social status that often accompany aging
10:16can diminish one's adaptability.
10:19Without mental comfort, psychological problems can arise,
10:23exacerbating physical illnesses and leading to a loss of confidence.
10:28Engaging in playful activities can train the brain,
10:32slow memory decline,
10:34improve lung capacity and blood circulation,
10:36and foster a sense of companionship and belonging.
10:40This mental clarity and joy can significantly promote longevity.
10:45Many long-lived individuals have their unique ways of playing.
10:49Take, for example, the great scientist Isaac Newton,
10:53who delighted in blowing soap bubbles with straws,
10:56mesmerized by their colors.
10:58Economist Huguen Yuen, who considered himself a master of play,
11:04treated it as a second profession.
11:06He indulged in computer games,
11:09wrote blogs,
11:10and solved puzzles with the enthusiasm of a young person.
11:14There's wisdom in the old saying,
11:16A person without a match cannot be friends with a person with hobbies.
11:21Indeed, elderly people who have hobbies are worth befriending.
11:25So, ask yourself,
11:26what hobbies bring you joy and keep your spirit young?
11:30How can you integrate more play into your daily routine?
11:34Perhaps you can take inspiration from Buddhist teachings,
11:38which emphasize living in the moment
11:40and finding joy in simple pleasures.
11:44As the Buddha said,
11:46Do not dwell in the past.
11:48Do not dream of the future.
11:50Concentrate the mind on the present moment.
11:53By focusing on what brings you happiness now,
11:56you can enhance your overall well-being
11:58and continue to live a fulfilling life.
12:01What are some hobbies or activities that bring you joy
12:04and keep your spirit youthful?
12:07Comment number one if you have a hobby that you enjoy
12:10or comment yes if you plan to integrate more play
12:14into your daily routine.
12:174. Continual learning
12:19Continual learning is a testament to the undying spirit
12:25of human curiosity and adaptability
12:28particularly as we age.
12:30If you are 70 or 80 years old
12:33and still diligently learning
12:34and navigating the world with ease,
12:37you are indeed a rare gem.
12:40The unchanging truth
12:41is that reading and continual learning
12:44propel personal progress.
12:46Many elderly individuals find themselves overwhelmed
12:49in today's fast-paced world,
12:52unable to read signs,
12:54navigate digital devices
12:56or perform basic tasks
12:58like checking information or making payments.
13:00These challenges underscore the importance
13:03of continual learning.
13:06Elderly individuals need not immerse themselves
13:08in complex subjects like astronomy or geography,
13:12but learning practical social methods and travel tips
13:15can significantly enhance their quality of life.
13:19Rather than using phones solely for idle gossip,
13:22one should explore reputable sites
13:25and acquire skills such as paying utility bills online.
13:30This not only makes life smoother,
13:32but also fosters a sense of independence and confidence.
13:36As the Buddha wisely said,
13:39an investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
13:43Staying updated with technological advancements
13:46and learning new things
13:47keeps the mind sharp and engaged.
13:51This engagement helps in maintaining cognitive functions
13:54and prevents feelings of isolation.
13:58Remember, the world is evolving
14:00and staying abreast with these changes,
14:03no matter how small,
14:04can make a big difference in daily living.
14:07It's akin to the philosophy of Stoicism,
14:10where continuous self-improvement
14:12and adaptation to change are highly valued.
14:16Marcus Aurelius once remarked,
14:18the impediment to action advances action.
14:22What stands in the way becomes the way.
14:25By embracing continual learning,
14:27elderly individuals can transform potential obstacles
14:31into pathways for growth and empowerment.
14:34This approach not only enriches their lives,
14:37but also sets a profound example
14:39for younger generations.
14:42So, make it a habit to learn something new every day,
14:46whether it's a small tech skill,
14:48a travel tip, or even a new recipe.
14:52By doing so,
14:53you contribute to a more fulfilled and independent life.
14:56In today's modern life,
14:59it's essential to recognize
15:00that learning is not confined to youth.
15:03It's a lifelong journey
15:05that offers endless opportunities
15:07for enrichment and enjoyment.
15:09By staying curious and open to new experiences,
15:13elderly individuals can maintain
15:14their relevance and vibrancy
15:16in an ever-changing world.
15:19As Confucius aptly put it,
15:21you cannot open a book without learning something.
15:24Every piece of knowledge gained
15:26is a step towards greater wisdom
15:28and self-sufficiency.
15:31Encourage yourself to explore,
15:33question, and understand the world around you.
15:37This mindset will not only keep you mentally agile,
15:41but also provide practical benefits
15:43that make everyday tasks more manageable.
15:46Furthermore,
15:48continual learning nurtures resilience,
15:50a quality that is invaluable at any age.
15:54In a world where technology and society
15:57are constantly evolving,
15:59those who adapt continue to thrive.
16:02This adaptability is a hallmark
16:05of a fulfilling and dynamic life.
16:07So, whether it's learning to use a new app,
16:11understanding how to navigate
16:12public transportation systems
16:14or simply staying informed
16:17about current events,
16:19each small effort contributes
16:20to a larger sense of capability
16:22and accomplishment.
16:25In essence,
16:26never underestimate the power
16:28of continual learning.
16:30It is the key to not just surviving,
16:33but thriving,
16:34well into your later years.
16:36Embrace it,
16:37and you'll find that age
16:39is not a barrier,
16:40but a testament
16:41to your enduring spirit and wisdom.
16:455. Financial stability
16:47If you are between 70 and 80 years old
16:52and can still manage your finances
16:55without burdening your children,
16:57you are truly a rare gem.
17:00Imagine the peace of mind
17:01that comes from having financial stability
17:03at this stage of life.
17:04Your finances are stable,
17:07and you don't need to rely
17:09on your children for money.
17:11It is not frightening
17:12to have money you can't spend.
17:14What's truly scary
17:15is to be alive
17:17without any financial security.
17:20While it's normal
17:21for elderly parents
17:22to seek support
17:23from their children occasionally,
17:25constantly asking for financial help
17:27constrain relationships,
17:29especially if your children
17:30are also struggling
17:31with debt or unemployment.
17:33Having a pension
17:35and some savings
17:35means you can live comfortably
17:37without causing much trouble
17:38for your children.
17:40If you own your home,
17:41it's even better.
17:43You don't have to live
17:44under someone else's roof
17:45or feel obliged
17:46to accommodate
17:47your children's needs.
17:49This independence is crucial,
17:51as you might have
17:52many more years ahead of you.
17:54Don't underestimate
17:55the importance
17:56of managing your finances wisely.
17:59By supporting yourself
18:00and only seeking occasional help
18:03from your children,
18:04you prevent money
18:05from becoming a source of conflict
18:07and avoid being a financial burden.
18:10Consider the story
18:11of an old man
18:12living in a small village.
18:14He spent his entire life
18:16working as a farmer
18:17and saved every penny he could.
18:20In his old age,
18:21he still lived in his small house,
18:23took care of his garden,
18:24and never had to ask
18:25his children for help.
18:27The old man often said,
18:29A simple life brings peace.
18:31Thanks to his meticulous
18:33financial management,
18:34he was able to live
18:35his final years
18:36peacefully and with dignity.
18:38Reflecting on this story,
18:40what can we do
18:41to ensure our financial independence
18:43while maintaining harmony
18:44within our families?
18:46Are there steps
18:47we can take today
18:48to secure our future
18:50and relieve our children
18:51from potential burdens?
18:54Engaging with these questions
18:56can help us all plan better
18:58and live more peacefully.
19:01Financial stability
19:02at 70 or 80
19:03is not just about having money.
19:06It's about maintaining
19:07your dignity and independence.
19:09It allows you to live
19:11without constantly worrying
19:12about your next meal
19:13or where you'll sleep.
19:16This sense of security
19:17also gives you the freedom
19:19to enjoy your later years,
19:21pursue hobbies,
19:23spend time with loved ones,
19:24and even help others.
19:27Think about the old man
19:28in the story again.
19:30His contentment and peace
19:32came from living within his means
19:34and valuing simplicity.
19:36He never had to ask for more
19:38than what was necessary,
19:39which made his life
19:40and relationships smoother
19:42and more respectful.
19:44Similarly,
19:45having your own house
19:46or a reliable income
19:47means you can avoid
19:49potential conflicts
19:50over money with your children.
19:51In conclusion,
19:53achieving financial stability
19:55in your later years
19:56is a precious accomplishment.
19:59It not only secures
20:00your peace of mind,
20:01but also preserves
20:03the harmony in your family.
20:05By managing your finances wisely,
20:07you ensure that you can enjoy
20:09your golden years
20:10with dignity and freedom.
20:12Remember,
20:13it's not the amount of money
20:15that defines your happiness,
20:17but how you manage
20:18and appreciate what you have.
20:21What steps will you take today
20:22to ensure a financially secure
20:25and peaceful future
20:26for yourself
20:27and your loved ones?
20:306. Broad-mindedness
20:33Imagine reaching your 70s or 80s
20:37and maintaining
20:38a broad-minded heart.
20:40You don't compare yourself to others
20:42or measure your worth
20:43against their successes.
20:45Old age often brings with it
20:47small tempers,
20:48limited perspectives,
20:50and narrow minds.
20:52It's common to see older people
20:53becoming unreasonable,
20:55stubborn,
20:56and inflexible.
20:57But if you can stay open-minded
20:59as you age,
21:00you are indeed a rare gem.
21:03An open-minded elderly person
21:05accepts imperfections in others
21:07without envy or resentment.
21:09They don't belittle
21:10their own children,
21:12complain about their income,
21:14or worry excessively
21:15about the future.
21:17Instead,
21:18they embrace each day calmly,
21:20treating the present
21:21as the best day.
21:23Living in the moment
21:24and appreciating
21:25what you have now
21:26is a valuable lesson.
21:28As the Buddha said,
21:30do not dwell in the past,
21:31do not dream of the future,
21:33concentrate the mind
21:35on the present moment.
21:36In our modern society,
21:38being in your 70s or 80s,
21:40isn't considered very old.
21:43But that doesn't mean
21:44you should be careless
21:45with your life.
21:47It's important to manage
21:48the rest of your life wisely,
21:50continue to provide
21:51positive emotions
21:52to your family,
21:54and show kindness to others.
21:56By doing so,
21:58your sense of happiness
21:59will only grow stronger.
22:01Remember,
22:02old age doesn't mean
22:03the end of personal growth
22:05or happiness.
22:06One of the hallmarks
22:07of a broad-minded person
22:09is their ability
22:10to see the bigger picture.
22:12They understand
22:13that life is full of ups and downs,
22:15and that every challenge
22:16is an opportunity for growth.
22:19They are not easily swayed
22:21by the opinions of others
22:22and remain true
22:23to their values.
22:25As the Dalai Lama once said,
22:27open your arms to change,
22:29but don't let go of your values.
22:31Living with a broad mind
22:33means fostering empathy
22:34and compassion.
22:35It's about understanding
22:37that everyone
22:37has their own struggles,
22:39and that kindness
22:40can go a long way.
22:42How often do we take a moment
22:43to truly listen to others
22:45and offer a helping hand?
22:47In Buddhism,
22:48the concept of metta,
22:50or loving-kindness,
22:51is central.
22:53It's about developing
22:54an attitude
22:54of unconditional love
22:56and compassion
22:57towards all beings.
22:59For those in their 70s and 80s,
23:01maintaining a broad mind
23:03can also mean
23:03staying curious
23:04and open to new experiences.
23:07It's about embracing change
23:09and finding joy
23:11in the simple things.
23:13Have you ever noticed
23:14how a small act of kindness
23:16can brighten someone's day?
23:18Or how learning something new
23:20can invigorate your mind?
23:23The famous Zen saying
23:24in the beginner's mind
23:26there are many possibilities,
23:28but in the expert's mind
23:29there are few,
23:31reminds us to stay curious
23:33and open-minded,
23:34regardless of our age.
23:37Another aspect of broad-mindedness
23:40is the ability to forgive
23:41and let go of grudges.
23:44Holding on to past grievances
23:45only weighs you down.
23:47Forgiveness is a powerful tool
23:49for emotional and mental well-being.
23:52It's about freeing yourself
23:53from the burden of anger
23:55and resentment.
23:57Can you think of someone
23:58you need to forgive?
24:00How might letting go of that grudge
24:02change your life?
24:04Moreover,
24:04a broad mind is a peaceful mind.
24:07It's about finding contentment
24:09in what you have
24:10and not constantly seeking more.
24:13It's about appreciating
24:14the little things in life
24:15and finding joy
24:17in everyday moments.
24:18As Buddha wisely said,
24:21peace comes from within,
24:23do not seek it without.
24:25Finally,
24:25being broad-minded in old age
24:27means setting a positive example
24:29for the younger generation.
24:32It's about showing them
24:33that life doesn't stop
24:34at a certain age
24:35and that wisdom and happiness
24:37can continue to grow.
24:39How do you want to be remembered

24:50broad-mindedness
24:51in your 70s or 80s
24:53is a testament
24:54to your resilience,

25:307. Strong social connections
25:33Having strong social connections
25:37is vital for everyone,
25:39but it's especially crucial
25:41for those in their 70s and 80s.
25:43If you still have a network
25:44of friends, family,
25:46and community members
25:47with whom you can share
25:49your joys and sorrows,
25:50you are indeed a rare gem.
25:53Loneliness is a significant issue
25:55among the elderly,
25:57leading to depression
25:58and other health problems.
25:59maintaining relationships
26:01helps ensure a fulfilling
26:03and emotionally rich life.
26:06Loneliness can be as harmful
26:08as smoking or obesity,
26:10affecting both mental
26:11and physical health.
26:14Studies have shown
26:15that seniors with strong social ties
26:17live longer
26:18and enjoy better health.
26:21Engaging in social activities,
26:23whether it's having a cup of tea
26:24with friends,
26:26participating in community events,
26:28or simply chatting with neighbors,
26:30can significantly enhance
26:32your quality of life.
26:34These interactions provide
26:35emotional support,
26:37reduce stress,
26:38and give you a sense of belonging.
26:41Social connections
26:42also stimulate your mind.
26:45Conversations with others
26:46keep your brain active,
26:48help prevent cognitive decline,
26:50and encourage a positive outlook
26:52on life.
26:53In Buddhism,
26:54the concept of Sangha,
26:55or community is essential
26:57for spiritual growth
26:59and well-being.
27:00Sharing your experiences
27:02and wisdom with others
27:03not only enriches your life,
27:05but also benefits
27:06those around you.
27:08Reflecting on your social circle,
27:11ask yourself,
27:12how can you strengthen
27:13these connections?
27:15Perhaps you can join a club,
27:17volunteer for a cause
27:18you care about,
27:19or simply reach out
27:20to old friends.
27:22Building and maintaining
27:23relationships takes effort,
27:25but the rewards
27:26are immense.
27:28Consider how you can be
27:30more involved
27:30in your community,
27:32or how you can offer support
27:33to others
27:34who may be feeling isolated.
27:36The Dalai Lama once said,
27:38love and compassion
27:39are necessities,
27:41not luxuries.
27:43Without them,
27:44humanity cannot survive.
27:46This wisdom reminds us
27:48of the importance
27:49of nurturing our relationships
27:50and being compassionate
27:52towards others.
27:54In your 70s or 80s,
27:56showing kindness
27:57and understanding
27:58can create deep
27:59and meaningful connections
28:01that last a lifetime.
28:03Furthermore,
28:04social interactions
28:05can introduce you
28:06to new ideas
28:07and perspectives.
28:09They keep you engaged
28:10with the world
28:11and help you stay informed
28:13about current events
28:14and trends.
28:15This engagement
28:16not only enriches your life,
28:18but also keeps you mentally sharp
28:20and adaptable to change.
28:23Strong social connections
28:25also provide a safety net.
28:27In times of need,
28:29having friends and family
28:30to rely on
28:31can make a significant difference.
28:33Whether it's help
28:34with daily tasks,
28:36emotional support,
28:37or simply companionship,
28:39these relationships
28:40are invaluable.
28:42In conclusion,
28:43maintaining strong social connections
28:46in your 70s and 80s
28:47is a testament
28:48to your vitality
28:50and emotional resilience.
28:52It enhances your mental
28:54and physical health,
28:55provides a sense of belonging,
28:57and enriches your life
28:59with shared experiences
29:00and support.
29:02How can you nurture
29:03and expand your social circle
29:05to ensure a vibrant
29:06and fulfilling life?
29:08What steps will you take today
29:10to reach out to others
29:11and strengthen your social ties?
29:13By sharing your experiences
29:15and wisdom,
29:16you not only enrich your own life,
29:18but also create
29:19a positive impact
29:20on those around you.
29:22Embrace the power
29:23of social connections
29:24and enjoy the many benefits
29:26they bring to your golden years.
29:308. You can still communicate
29:33peacefully with your children.
29:37Maintaining harmonious relationships
29:39with your children as you age
29:41is truly a remarkable achievement.
29:44If, at 70 to 80 years old,
29:47you can still communicate
29:48without major conflicts
29:50with your children,
29:51you are indeed a rare gem.
29:54This ability not only signifies
29:56a life well lived,
29:58but also reflects
29:59the accumulation of wisdom,
30:01patience,
30:02and understanding
30:03over the decades.
30:05The Buddha once said,
30:07Peace comes from within.
30:08Do not seek it without.
30:11And your capacity
30:12to foster peaceful interactions
30:14is a testament
30:15to your inner peace and strength.
30:18In this era,
30:19marked by generational differences
30:21that often lead
30:22to misunderstandings,
30:24your ability to bridge these gaps
30:26showcases an extraordinary skill.
30:29Remember,
30:30maintaining this peace
30:31involves active listening,
30:34showing empathy,
30:34and sometimes stepping back
30:37to let the younger generation
30:38learn from their own experiences.
30:41A fitting story
30:42is that of the wise old man
30:44who always chose his words
30:46carefully
30:46to avoid unnecessary disputes.
30:50He lived by the principle
30:51that words have the power
30:52to either build bridges
30:53or burn them.
30:55Your life experiences
30:57have shaped you
30:58into a beacon of calm
30:59and reason for your family,
31:01and your ability
31:02to navigate conversations
31:03with grace and poise
31:05is invaluable.
31:07In modern life,
31:08with its rapid changes
31:09in technology
31:10and societal norms,
31:12this can be
31:13especially challenging,
31:15yet your steady presence
31:16provides a sense
31:17of continuity
31:18and stability
31:19for your children.
31:21This presence
31:22is akin to the oak tree
31:24that withstands storms,
31:26its roots deep in the ground,
31:28offering shelter
31:29and strength
31:30to those around it.
31:31As you move forward,
31:33keep embracing
31:34this peaceful approach,
31:36for it not only
31:37enriches your life,
31:38but also sets
31:39a profound example
31:40for future generations,
31:43teaching them
31:43the priceless value
31:44of harmony
31:45and understanding
31:46infamilial bonds.
31:49In a world
31:49that often seems
31:50to be moving too fast,
31:52your ability
31:53to maintain
31:53these relationships
31:54through open-mindedness
31:56and adaptability
31:58is more critical
31:59than ever.
32:00It's like being
32:01the lighthouse
32:02that guides ships
32:03safely to shore
32:04amidst turbulent seas.
32:06By continuing
32:07to nurture
32:08these relationships,
32:09you demonstrate
32:10the essence
32:11of true wisdom,
32:13a wisdom
32:13that transcends
32:14time and trends,
32:16rooted deeply
32:17in the fundamental
32:17human need
32:18for connection
32:19and understanding.
32:20This wisdom
32:21is echoed
32:22in the words
32:23of Mahatma Gandhi,
32:25The best way
32:25to find yourself
32:26is to lose yourself
32:28in the service
32:29of others.
32:30Your service,
32:31in this case,
32:32is the loving
32:33and patient
32:33communication
32:34you maintain
32:35with your children,
32:37ensuring that
32:37your family
32:38remains a strong,
32:40cohesive unit.
32:41This cohesive
32:42family unit
32:43becomes a microcosm
32:45of a peaceful society,
32:47teaching the younger
32:48generation the importance
32:49of empathy
32:50and mutual respect.
32:52So, as you continue
32:53on this path,
32:54let your interactions
32:56be filled with kindness
32:57and understanding,
32:59serving as a living
33:00testament to the power
33:01of inner peace
33:02and the invaluable
33:03nature of harmonious
33:05familial relationships.
33:099. Living with Purpose
33:11Living with Purpose
33:15is one of the most
33:16fulfilling ways
33:17to approach life,
33:19especially in your
33:2070s and 80s.
33:22If you wake up
33:23every day
33:24with a sense
33:24of direction
33:25and a reason
33:26to get out of bed,
33:28you are indeed
33:29a rare gem.
33:31Having a purpose
33:32gives your life meaning
33:33and keeps you engaged
33:35with the world
33:35around you.
33:36It can be anything
33:37that brings you joy
33:39and fulfillment,
33:40from volunteering
33:41and mentoring
33:42to pursuing hobbies
33:43and spending time
33:45with loved ones.
33:46Many people find
33:47that having a purpose
33:48gives them a renewed
33:49sense of vitality.
33:51It's what makes life
33:52worth living
33:53and adds an extra layer
33:55of happiness
33:55to each day.
33:57For some,
33:58purpose comes
33:59from helping others,
34:00whether through
34:01community service,
34:02supporting a cause
34:03they believe in,
34:04or simply being there
34:05for family and friends.
34:07For others,
34:08it might be mastering
34:09a new skill,
34:10continuing education,
34:12or exploring new interests.
34:15Consider the story
34:16of a retired teacher
34:17who, in her 70s,
34:19decided to volunteer
34:20at a local literacy program.
34:23She found immense satisfaction
34:24in helping adults
34:26learn to read and write,
34:27seeing firsthand
34:28the impact she could make
34:30in their lives.
34:31Her purpose gave her
34:33day's structure
34:33and meaning,
34:34and she formed new friendships
34:36along the way.
34:38This story is a reminder
34:39that it's never too late
34:41to find and pursue
34:42your purpose.
34:44Living with purpose
34:45also aligns
34:46with Buddhist teachings.
34:48The Buddha emphasized
34:49the importance
34:50of right intention
34:51and right action
34:53as part of the noble
34:54eightfold path.
34:57This means living
34:58in a way that is ethical,
35:00compassionate,
35:01and mindful,
35:02which naturally brings
35:03a sense of purpose.
35:04As the Buddha said,
35:07your work is to discover
35:08your world,
35:09and then,
35:10with all your heart,
35:11give yourself to it.
35:13Reflecting on your life,
35:14what brings you
35:15a deep sense of satisfaction?
35:17What activities
35:18make you lose track of time
35:20and feel truly alive?
35:22Perhaps it's creating art,
35:24gardening,
35:24writing,
35:25or mentoring
35:25the younger generation.
35:27Finding your purpose
35:28might require some exploration
35:30and experimentation,
35:32but the journey itself
35:33can be incredibly rewarding.
35:36Purpose doesn't have
35:37to be grand
35:38or world-changing.
35:39It just needs
35:40to be meaningful to you.
35:43It could be as simple
35:44as tending to a garden,
35:46which not only provides
35:47physical activity,
35:48but also a connection
35:50to nature.
35:51Or it could be
35:52something more social,
35:54like starting a book club
35:55or organizing community events.
35:59Whatever it is,
36:00let it be something
36:01that excites
36:02and motivates you.
36:04Living with purpose
36:05also helps combat feelings
36:07of loneliness and isolation.
36:10It connects you
36:11with others
36:11who share your interests
36:12and values,
36:14fostering a sense
36:15of community
36:15and belonging.
36:17This connection
36:18is vital
36:19for emotional well-being
36:20and can lead
36:22to new friendships
36:22and opportunities
36:23for collaboration.
36:25In conclusion,
36:27living with purpose
36:28in your 70s and 80s
36:30is a powerful way
36:31to enhance your life.
36:33It brings meaning,
36:34joy and motivation,
36:36helping you stay engaged
36:38and fulfilled.
36:39Reflect on what gives
36:41your life meaning
36:41and pursue it
36:43with enthusiasm
36:43and dedication.
36:46How can you discover
36:47or deepen your sense
36:48of purpose today?
36:50What steps can you take
36:52to ensure that each day
36:53is filled with intention
36:55and joy?
36:57By embracing your purpose,
36:59you not only enrich
37:00your own life,
37:02but also contribute positively
37:04to the lives of others,
37:06creating a ripple effect
37:07of happiness
37:08and fulfillment.
