Advice From The Elderly To The YoungFrom all over the world, older people offer words of wisdom to the young.

If you could say ONE thing to a young person…

 

Youtube personality Freddy Fairhair recruited his followers all over the world to ask elderly people the question of all questions: “If you could say one thing to the younger people, what would that be?”

In total, Faihair and his followers were able to ask enough seniors to equal 3,500 years of life experience. The wisdom they recorded is priceless.

Here are a few of my personal favorites:

“Be true.”

“Without character, you will not succeed.”

“Forget the money.”

“You are unique. There’s never been anyone like you before, and there will never be anyone like you again. Become that uniqueness.”

“Care for others, instead of being a person who only takes benefits from others.”

“Slow down. There’s more to life than picking up speed.”

“The best currency that you can spend freely and always get much more than you put in is LOVE.”

Mental Floss host John Green shares some interesting facts you probably didn’t know about the founding fathers.

Enjoy!

It couldn’t have been easy for John Green to come up with such tantalizing tidbits about our Founding Fathers that we haven’t heard before. Who knew Samuel Adams was ugly? That John Jay got a new job every time he left home? That Paul Revere was drunk during his famous ride? Of course, Benjamin Franklin gets the biggest share of trivia,because that man was a never-ending font of awesomeness.

I’m called by three letters
Though I have a long name.
I’m in all of you,
But I’m never the same.

I’m all coiled up
So that I am quite small,
But if you stretch me out
I’ll be really tall.

I could be the root
Of certain disease;
If man can unlock me
He’ll solve many mysteries.
