Are you old? What would your advice on life be?

I am just about to turn 30.





I never had any parents growing up and would like some advice on life from others who are older (50/60/70 etc)





Do you have any advice on life?Are you old? What would your advice on life be?
Bravo for asking! Most younger ppl have no idea of the resources walking quietly all around them.





My advice would overwhelmingly be this one thing: as it turns out, love is CENTRAL to us, to our happiness, to everything. Devote yourself to the finding, and care of, love. It is more important than everything else put together.Are you old? What would your advice on life be?
and that is All hat Report Abuse

I agree with ';all hat,'; and I would add this: try to keep learning and educating yourself, make NEW mistakes because you learned from the old ones, ask lots of good questions like the one you asked here and let love lead you instead of your fears. Report Abuse

I am 16 years old but I am not the typical type of teenager so that doesn't stop me from giving you advice on life. My advice would be for you to abstain from hedonistic pleasures and find something pure and natural to satisfy you. Maybe have faith in God and you will know what your true purpose of being in existence is. I am sorry that you didn't have any parents while growing up. The others have posted good advices for you so I don't have to say anymore. But just don't get influenced by the pleasures in today's society. Hang around with nature for it's purity.
1. Enjoy the perception that time is slow, that minutes sometimes seem like hours. It really does fly by as you get older.





2. Never take for granted that you can move every part of your body without stiffness and pain. Run and jump and bend those knees!





3. When you're young, feel blessed that you can look forward to things that will happen in 20 or 30 years. When you're older, celebrate all that you've done with your life. And, for Heaven's sake, don't skip over all the little things that are so easy to ignore. They're what fill up most of our time and give spice to our lives.





4. Say ';Hi'; and smile when you can. Give a kind word to the people you see all the time, like the folks at the grocery. These little things are what the others in your life will remember about you and love you for.





5. Appreciate your life every minute of every year, at every age. When you can no longer do what you did at 30, do something else. Being alive is a trip on the opportunity bus. Age tells you when to change gears;-)





6. Don't get bogged down in the things that don't matter. If you must ask ';Why was I born?';, then answer ';Because.....'; and realize that ';because'; is the only answer anyone can give. Each of our lives is important in ways that we'll never know. It's part of the mystery of life.
I wish I could advise people. I wish I could tell them how to be happy, successful, caring, forgiving, and content. But with all my knowledge, a blessed and charmed life, I have learned one thing. We would like others to learn from our mistakes, but we forget that the only way we learned was through our own. So my only advice; fear nothing and anything you want can be yours.
My advice is : Don't kill yourself with hard work, everything in moderation, and learn how to say no to yourself, and others. I'm in my seventies. I wish that I had asked that question when I was that age. Have a star
G Use the ';life+decryption+key'; as soon, and as much as you can. You can make a huge change in your future without agonizing efforts. I waited until I was 43 and lost a lot of useful time.
Your not that old.
