Japan’s 80 Year Olds Share Their BIGGEST Mistakes

[@Sprouht]

What is the biggest lesson that YOU have learned that you would like to pass on to a stranger? Drop it below!

[@haddaupdate6256]

My favorite KZbin channel After watching a video I started exercise every day .

[@lppoqql]

😂 any other Asian feel this world is fuked up? Asian men are castrated and humiliated in the west, yet unattractive losers from the west thinks because of that Asian women love them? This is the most racist shiiiit in modern world. Asians should stand up and fight back. No more Asian Castration and Asian fetish.

[@maimunahibrahim5499]

It's a flashback...to me we have the chance to improve @ make the best of ourselves... tqvm for your videos lots of humor 😂😂😂👍👍👍

[@deedoodles465]

My biggest mistake was staying in a toxic relationship for too long because of the fear of being alone....but then gathering the courage to get out of it has been the best decision of my life. My advice is to get out as soon as possible.

[@linzhao2235]

These videos are so inspiring to watch. Everyone currently living on this planet will have regrets. No such thing as a regret free life or a perfect life. And you’re still young as well in your 20s, that’s a huge advantage! Time is still on your side! You are way ahead of the game to know all this. Keep going! I support you!

[@halloweenist664]

I recently read a piece of advice online and I decided to use it as my life guideline: Imagine you are old and on your deathbed, reviewing your whole life, you feel deeply regretful and sad. You wish for a second chance, then you wake up to your current life. Treat your life as if it's your second chance.

[@tired.....247]

But no matter how hard we try we'll still have regrets right

[@jarrodsio]

begin with the end in mind.

[@SpenceTravels]

Really made my day this comment, thank you

[@PuReXtremeGaming]

I'm in this spot daily after becoming severely I'll and disabled with constwnt pain, I still can't do alot of things like I used to but I DO notice the massive difference between my way of thinking and time compared to others now

[@PuReXtremeGaming]

@@rafaelw8115 firstly i never waste energy or time on mundane shit, always try my best to be caring towards others, spend alot more time on hobbies. others - > my gf of four years worried becuase im not grinding my ass off at work now, as an example. Reality: im young, im unlucky that i got sick, i dont need to kill myself working when i dont even know what my future holds. i should just enjoy myself, while still being aware of the future and what is needed to survive etc. something like this? concrete is hard unless i have longer to think. theres just a shift in peoples priorities, most people are toxic to the core without even knowing it, never letting anything "stop" them from getting their "careers" or whatever they deem the most valuable version of themselves are, rather then just existing to breathe air and thanking the world for that alone.

[@islandon22]

Now that 70 has passed, I wish I had met my wife in my 20's and not my 50's. For 16+ years she has been the joy of my life.♥️

[@leonab545]

At least you met her at all! Some never do, but I understand what you mean. Enjoy every moment.

[@MarokoJin]

Who knows, maybe if you met before you wouldn't have clicked... sometimes we meet the best people but we're not ready for them. So the best time to meet her was in your fifties.

[@eileenwatt8283]

If you met her early you might not have appreciated her because you would not have seen her value. Maybe all your other relationships taught you something of who will bring peace to you so when you met her you know she's the right one.

[@cathychats]

Trust God's timing 🙏

[@bobolulu7615]

I live in hope then. I'm 60 and have only had 2 relationships in my life. I've never been married, have any kids or lived with someone. Everyday I wonder when it's going to be my turn for happiness.

[@cublau]

Lessons I‘ve learned (not in order of priority): 1. Don’t overthink and don’t be too afraid. What seems to be almost a disaster can bring you on a much better path. Cross the bridges when you get there. 2. Take care of your body. In younger age it can compensate a lot. Not so in older age. Do something to stay fit. 3. Take good care of people who are near to your heart and stay away from energy vampires. 4. Leave a job you hate rather earlier than later. 5. Time is very precious. 6. Don’t care too much about what others think is important or what they think of you. Define your own goals and find people who share them. 7. Find out what makes you genuinely happy. Sometimes there is a discrepancy between what you want and what you need.

[@callmequeenc3582]

Thank you for this!

[@worldorthoorthopaedicsurge6147]

Very wise advice.

[@Mitsoufanny]

I hope your parents are tremendously proud of you. Taking your time to speak to elderly people is wonderful to them and us. We don't see that often. Thank you, thank you.

[@aliciahurtado5496]

TRUE!

[@GodofStories]

I used to think his videos were cringe. Maybe still a bit. Especially when going up to old people and asking how old they are, is insensitive. But at the same time, they are often neglected, and yet so many young people can be helped from hearing and talking with them. Most western societies, and maybe in the world as well, treat older people with disrespect, and ignoring them...almost like a strain on everyone, when they really can be so helpful to so many people if just included in people's lives.

[@GodofStories]

Great job buddy Sprouht!

[@Sprouht]

Thank you so much!

[@Sprouht]

@@GodofStories It's all about perspective. Glad you came around :)

[@jo.wanders]

I love this so much. They’re all so genuine and giving us reminders to: 1) appreciate everyone we meet and have 2) do the things you love 3) exercise 4) and do the things you’ve been holding yourself back from doing. These are the kind of videos I need to give myself a push. Thanks for sharing!

[@Sprouht]

I got you!

[@tingle2323]

These are things which made to not lose hope in fighting for things because I know if I lose hope .I have to live in regrets..so better just think about ur future for a minute and think if u r ready to live like this..if not...work for it

[@blackrosepages6886]

I am contemplating a career change and these words "I wish I lived my life the way I wanted (to)" from the gentleman with a dog just hit home. I will try harder to overcome the fear that threatens to hold me back. Thanks Will for a great video!

[@shawtym1]

I did and and it required me to leave the country. Its not perfect but its seriously the best thing I have fone for myself

[@cattt467]

Feel the fear, then do it anyways. Have heart, my dear. Sending you lots of love !

[@annstewart8506]

Keep true to your calling. I graduated as a nurse 3 months before my 60th birthday. I love my new life and have no regrets. Never let age stop you and goodluck on your life pursuits.

[@natalienewtonebookwriteram1399]

I feel like people become more honest as they get older; I love that!

[@Mtl-zf9om]

When you grow old, not only your organs start failing but your filters as well.

[@mihaeladog7187]

You have nothing to lose anymore…

[@tingle2323]

​@@Mtl-zf9om😂

[@sasanice7112]

Maybe you realize that its the best way to be clearly honest and dont hide. And you simply do not care anymore about critics.

[@rollinghippo2940]

lying or beating around the bush is so time consuming

[@xFailage]

The soba chef seems so whimsical and like a jokester! What he said made me chuckle and the rest of the other interviews were great and I enjoyed these interviews, thank you

[@Lunay08]

I agree a ton with the 63 year old man. I think that everything that happens in our lives is meant to teach us a lesson, whether it goes the way we want it to or not. I would love to live my life the way I want to, but I would be leaving my loved ones behind and for me, they are more important than my dreams. I'm 29 and can maybe accomplish them at a later time but if I can't, that's okay too

[@dovien1779]

Im in the same situation and at the same age. Im considering my career choices and worrying a lot about it. But your comment make me feel a bit at ease. Even if its not the best choice we can stay with our loved ones without regrets later when they're gone, right?

[@mikitanaka9675]

I’m from Japan and listening these seniors makes me feel home. Thank you for this❤ At the age of 24, I thought I’d regret if I didn’t try living abroad. So I studied English for a year and moved to Canada without a friend or a job. I got a good opportunity and got a PR myself. It was 7 years ago and I recently realized that although my dream of living abroad came true, i wasn’t happy. I’m now trying to change my career because I’d regret if I didn’t pursue what I truly like and I’m good at.

[@erikariveraaah]

I find this so interesting. We are roughly the same age, and I too am going through something similar. I am working towards brushing up on a new language and living abroad. Would love to hear how you did it! Wishing us well 🙏

[@dudewhathappenedtomycountr9099]

Big lesson: Everything is temporary. There is no recipe for happiness and no happy ever after. Stay curious and keep moving.

[@yuckyhamsandwich]

I recently discovered that I am 50% Japanese and I hope to visit Japan someday to explore my roots. I am fascinated by Japan's deep understanding of humanity and the world, and it would be amazing to experience it firsthand. I found this interview to be wonderful.

[@natashadickson4819]

Best wishes ❤️

[@Nikesh977]

50% Japanese likely means withre your mom or dad is Japanese. What took you so long to figure that out?

[@lbn6486]

Were you adopted out internationally when you were young?

[@dasgerbil5189]

Get certification of the genealogy and present to Japanese embassy. You may guided to obtain Nikkei cert and Japan passport

[@typower9]

The Japanese respect their elders. In the west that has been lost.

[@fio8549]

8:15 has to be the best thing I've ever heard, I've never been able to find the words but she did perfectly.

[@ralitsamladenova]

Wishing the guy in treatment a fast healing and a long and happy life! It was a very meaningful video

[@lexusls4305]

This is the best series on KZbin. You can learn so much about what’s important - and what’s not - in life

[@Sprouht]

I appreciate you!

[@FJ26622]

I can proudly say I'm a person who makes lot of changes every year. I used to be disappointed with my own behaviours and my own decisions at one point but when i look back I'm proud that i walked away from people who poorly treated me at workplaces, friendships and relationships. I definitely don't have a-lot of friends but have handful people who matter and I'm a glad i left people who always couldn't align with my standards in life.

[@shweta-gx3nu]

Ditto! Best decision of my life!

[@jujulvs]

Happy for you 🎉

[@Catata123]

No matter what your profession is, at the end of the day it's just a job. Don't neglect your family and friends, they may not be here tomorrow.

[@LookDeepWithin]

The past is gone, and the future has not arrived. If I probe on the past, it is like crying over a burst bubble. If I worry about the future, it is like trying to catch a burst bubble. I learned to let go and live in the present here and now. And surprisingly found myself way happier and healthier, with tons of stress and whatever removed. So Yes, this is what I want to share with everyone.

[@Calcifurr]

“Every experience is important.” Wow I felt that one! Life has led me on a roller coaster of a journey. I’m almost 30 and still trying to pave my way into the right career, something that I actually enjoy and want to do. I feel like all my previous experiences will eventually lead me to the right path and I feel like I’m finally getting there. This quote is very true.

[@gurugantaal5782]

Elder people have loads of Treasure in the form of knowledge and experience ... We must respect them 🙏🏻

Everyone was really happy that you were talking to them and asking about their lives. They were also really happy to spend time with you. I really liked the peaceful vibe of this video. It was a really educational and helpful video about life. Thank you! :)

Lovely people and lovely interview very thoughtful people and most of all kind ✨

[@Sparda11222]

Always treat the elderly with respect. Life is really hard, just to even get by. And for these people to make it to that age with a smile on their face.. that requires a lot of inner strength. Hope we get to keep our smile when you get there. Great video.

[@290revolver290]

One thing I've learnt is life is about tradeoffs. Even when we sometimes do what we wanted, we might eventually wish we had done the opposite. But then again, a lot of people also never did what they really wanted to do. 🥺😔

[@joshuaBrooks.nicholas]

Facts tho there’s a couple stuff I shouldn’t done like give my ex girlfriends money,and let them use social media.I had to sell my car I couldn’t fix it,and now I need another one badly.

[@tingle2323]

True... simply our life has two side...what we want and what we need..so according to this . better to see the reality of things..if it's really needed to do or good for us .if we do this then do and then just learn from it and move on...

[@SproutingofSpring]

But from that point of Regrets, comes the Lesson. And a courage to live according to what is better than now and yesterdays. Our regrets, pains, struggles and trial and errors, make/made our story a whole piece of us. ☀️

[@ginamarie5575]

Lol I did exercise and dance a lot lol and didn’t go to college. So I Aced that one !! 😂I had so much fun so I wouldn’t have any regrets later in life . I’m 40 now . 😅 time goes too fast darn it . Enjoy each moment. Live how you want to and don’t do everything society tells you to do ;) follow your soul …. ❤😊

[@hahahahaha7824]

I am also in late thirties and have no regrets but I am not as happy as I used to be. My standards were somewhat high but not very high. I guess everything has a trade-off. I felt like a Harvard graduate (also went to a pretty good school) in my 20s and 30s. Made a lot of money and lost all of it at one point. But money wasn't the biggest thing. It was losing people as you age. and also hitting the limits of my career. Anyways, I hope everybody gets what they need.

[@InspiNatio]

I find it quite pleasant to take in different points of view from people of various ages. We have much to learn from the others around us and it is joyful to see that these people have a smile on their face even at an old age. Keep living and do what you want, we only get one life so make sure you take advantage of it and become who you want to become.

[@mahmoudsir319]

I absolutely love the Japanese respect, mindset, and thoughtfulness. I hope to visit your wonderful country one day, Insha'Allah!

[@bradbates2339]

Thank-you Will! I'm watching this from Hokkaido (Japan) where I've been for a few weeks on a teacher exchange. I'm younger than some of these people (but only a little). After watching your videos and YT shorts for several months it is so exciting to see you've taken your interviews from Montreal to Tokyo. The wisdom here is both enlightening and entertaining, and I wish you well with it all!!

[@Sprouht]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@andreiamendes9116]

Such a heartwarming video, we have so much to learn with elder people's experience. In a world where people are only hyping about beauty standards, or how to look younger, how to date a foreigner, etc. this was a refreshing topic. ❤

[@ShesooBreezy]

That darn noodle 🍜 man 😂😂😂😂. I love how wise Japan 🇯🇵 is and a lot of Japanese people, especially since the country has been around for a long time. The feudal age and everything. Japan is rich with history and full of culture.

[@M3W3]

Treat everyone u meet as if that’s their last day of their life. I learn that after my dad passed away. Everyday can be the last day of someone’s life. You will be more patience, forgiving and also more willing to accommodate. Imagine u argue w your loved one, and knowing that will be their last day, you will surely wish u never had that argument or say the nasty words. So with this in mind, every moment u spent with someone, u learn to be respectful, patience and gentle to others.

[@ahm7944]

My best advice is a poem called Desiderata. But my personal experience is that I was flexible in my goals. And to know that dreams not always come true, but their pursue is worth it. Especially if they are the dreams of helping your parents and the good and abandoned people of this earth. Try your dreams ,don't regret later not trying to accomplish them. And be tenacious. Don't give up. All of these things must come from love. Without love, life is meaningless. Love is the currency of love.

[@roxanneberry3304]

I feel like the real questions you are asking everyday people are generating valuable feedback and insight. If you feel like you're working too much maybe you can delegate some of your workload. Have you made enough to possibly outsource some parts of it as your channel grows?? Just a thought cuz you shouldn't give up on this priceless dialog you are creating. Clearly you are doing something you genuinely enjoy...from what im hearing thats what life is all about.

[@diffe7819]

I'm just 19, yet i feel really wasted.. i wish for a family with love snd affection rather than Violence and toxicity and lack of freedom.. not being able to do what i desire and think for myself.. even if I've heard from these gorgeous elders, trying to implement them is very difficult in my environment.. thanks
