which resonate for me the most, despite all of the points being wise statements for anyone to uphold:


'I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.'
Immanuel Kant, my favorite philosopher, would wholeheartedly agree biggrin....

'I walk away from people who don't value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.'
Self-worth! 'Nuff said.

'I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.'
Never raced anyone other than myself! smile

'I have learned to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.'
I've long ceased postponing anything I can do at present.

By the way, I happen to be 37 years old. Cheers to living long, fruitful lives!!

I asked a friend who has crossed 70 & is heading towards 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself? He sent me the following: 1. After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself. 2. I hav... 

Serious words of wisdom!

I am printing this out and sharing it with the family. Many thanks!

This is very good advice...

...and while I have a bit to go before I hit 70, I am beginning to loosen up quite a bit...

37 years young, Filip, I envy you…

They keep saying 50 is the new 40, so I’m just 3 years more than you, lol….I wished 😊

Wise words bro.

 
 By: mj23 : January 24th, 2022-02:10
I still can’t do all of the above.

So do I and I’m sure the list is longer, more to explore…

PS: I just watch Horoguides YouTube on Redbar + MAD Gallery and I noticed a familiar watch 😉

Wonderful post.

" Peace is more precious than perfection." Really stands out to me. Thank you for sharing this!

Not sure about #8. An olive oil stain on a t-shirt . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 24th, 2022-02:12
. . . is enough to cut my evening short. Especially if it's one of my better t-shirts. ...  

Fashion....

 
 By: InHavenPro : January 24th, 2022-02:19
is for people who don't have a style of their own . Cheers to that sentiment!! Filip

You slay me, Art :-)

 
 By: Echi : January 24th, 2022-02:27

Lol…you’re always so resourceful and like yourself, I am also having a challenge on #8 too…

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 24th, 2022-03:36
Why not use the opportunity to remove the shirt and show the macho side 😅😊

Now Art , what did you do to deserve this

 
 By: GLau : January 24th, 2022-04:10
beautiful lady friend of yours? Must be being a popular WPS moderator ? 😃

Honestly, nothing, Gordon. Sarah's . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 24th, 2022-11:12
. . . one of the best . . . . . . 3-ball players in our gang. She's the only player in three decades of weekly competition to score two aces in a single day. 🎱

Do you mean Sara is

 
 By: GLau : January 24th, 2022-12:32
not your lady friend? 🥲

Sarah's most definitely a lady, and . . .

 
 By: Dr No : January 24th, 2022-16:37
. . . she is a friend, but not 'more' than that, Gordon. Sorry to disappoint ;-) . . .

Oh no 🤦‍♂️! Thought you

had it made !

That does not look like you're standing outside the bar...

Love this photo!

Many thanks for sharing! Am about to turn 50 this year but all of those thoughts resonate deeply with me... Will share them with those around me 😊

This is also my big 50…what a coincidence 👍🏻👊🏻

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 24th, 2022-03:38
I always believe it is like a mirror, when you smile, the image smiles back. Thank you!

Wow 🤩 These are really

words of wisdom !! Thanks for sharing !!!

Let’s all have a good time together…

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 24th, 2022-03:59
Enjoy more good things in life, cheers Gordon!

Good one! Thanks for sharing.

 
 By: countzero : January 24th, 2022-04:19
These thoughts really resonate - in particular #6. Still need to work on that... (not to mention a few others!)

I know it’s hard sometimes not to correct others…

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 24th, 2022-04:35
But seems we get adverse effects. Active listening is a great skill I have yet to master. You’re very welcome.

I feel honored and appreciate your acknowledgment of some of these, Sir…

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 24th, 2022-06:24
Thank you and have a great week ahead.

Perfect. All perfect.

I love your post!

 
 By: MTR : January 24th, 2022-21:01
Many thanks for these wise words. To be honest (and not too humble 😎) I think that I have already realized many of your points a few years ago (when I started to behave like an adult = when I got around 50 🤣). And I try to live them. But it also happens a... 

You’re very, very, very welcome Thomas…

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 24th, 2022-21:23
I’m not far and catching up on you in terms of wisdom 😊 Yes I do need reminders at times with all the distractions around too. Cheers and Enjoy! Raymond

Are you sure that came from a 70 year old?

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 27th, 2022-03:28
How did he remember all of that??

70 is the new 50?

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 27th, 2022-03:59
What’s your name again Mike?

And you’re not even 70, Mike.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 27th, 2022-11:10
Mike?

If you do, you'll just confuse yourself Raymond. I am MORE of an accumulator than a TRUE collector as I like too many different types of watches 😜🤣

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : January 27th, 2022-19:05
Doesn't help either that I have the attention span of a 6 year old 🤣🙊🙉🙈

Wise words my friend..

 
 By: jp884 : January 28th, 2022-06:27
Far too often we find ourselves in a race that only we are running. Sometimes I have to remind myself to stop, breathe, look around and appreciate the things we have and not the things we desire.

Less is really more and just like watches…

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : January 28th, 2022-06:50
We tend to anticipate the next one so I make it a ritual to wear all my watches. Life is too short and everyday is one day less to be with love ones. Enjoy, my friend!
