The key to growing old is always having something to be passionate about. My grandfather died after a car crash when he was 93 had he not been in that accident I know he would have lived like a young man well into his 100s he was up seven days a week at 5 am to take care of his cows and horses he loved so much walked thousands of steps a day and ALWAYS smiled and laughed and doctors would tease him when they would say he’s got the body and bones of a 40 year old man, they were serious tho. Passion and joy my friends. That is the key. And being kind and serving others is a must too. He also addressed himself as a young boy. This guy reminds me of my grandfather in so so so many ways I love this video.

You sir are my favourite collector of especially the Islamic art, even though its a diverse collection compromising,Japanese and also Chinese collection's, it has been a revelation of sorts to even be able to view them virtually 👏🤝😊

[@lisengel2498]

Its a very fascinating story about the meaning of passion, dedikation and the language of Art as the language of the heart. The language of joy, dedikation, and of the intertwining of reality and Imagination. And I also recognize the joy of looking at old notes - the written notes gathers “ the speechless” ❤️❤️❤️

[@llstarlight]

I think about the people who's hand did the work. The miners, the harvesters, the metalworkere, the painters, any any all who's life and efforts contributed.

[@urnosey23]

Thank you for sharing your amazing collection! Love your thoughts..

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

As someone who loves embroidery, especially Japanese, that landscape was a revelation.

And I really appreciate this qoate: “All you have to do is to breathe the Light into them” 🎶🖤🎵

[@kerder8660]

my oh my..my goodness ...amazing I am speechless .. even seeing that on utube gives me goosebumps of euphoric appreciation for the beautiful art created by fantastically skilful artist of the past & today's passionate generous custodians of such collections .. huge thanks to Khalili family..

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

That calligrapher created an absolute masterpiece of his art. I am unashamed to admit I started crying when he quoted “this stays but I won’t be around.” I hope the same can be said for my passion and my part as a small soldier as I approach the end of my life.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

A small soldier for human rights and equality.

[@stephanebelizaire3627]

BRAVO !

[@llstarlight]

I enjoy evrrything. Especially the enamels.

Amazing and moving.

Amazing man that put art above religion and politics. Art as universal language of beauty, skill and relentless work.

It’s sad that it’s in a private collection.

Eventually it will be a public collection. This is how it usually works.

Atheists are not losers. Some are loving, kind, intelligent people. They are okay with a finite experience.

[@TimWrightt]

No, all athiests are losers because a loser is someone who loses. Athiests are incorrect, so they lose. So are muslims, hindus, buddhists, and any religion that isn't Christianity or Judiasm because only The Bible has any basis in reality. Study the science, only The Bible and Jesus have any scientific proof. Athiests have literally no science to defend their beliefs. Proverbs 25:2. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.

Where is This collection?

[@classicalaid1]

One wonders what financial resources Nasser David is able to draw upon in order to manifest such a sophisticated collection.

[@drchang]

If most people sleeps only four hours a day, they would be dead long ago! So I’m quite skeptical of his claims.

[@joeb4142]

I’ve heard of people needing much less sleep than the average person. It’s not that rare a phenomenon.

[@faries4794]

There are people existing, who naturally sleep less than 5-6 hours a day without feeling tired or without having any *known* medical condition caused by their sleeping pattern. It apears that they have normal mental and physical health conditions like the rest of people. It has even a name, "Short Sleeper Syndrome" and it is the result of some genetic mutations.

@@rebuzz6866 Well as they are both on your screen it amounts to the same thing. I'm not not sure if they were actual photos of the pieces anyway due to some of the editing used during the programme but it also might be that the originals are on loan.
