Advice From Someone I Met Today

Posted on | August 18, 2010

I had a training session for a new job today and noticed the woman teaching me looked great for her age (which I didn’t know, but assumed something like mid-50s). The skin on her face was very smooth with hardly any wrinkles and I couldn’t find one gray strand in her beautiful dark blond hair.

I asked her what products she uses on her face to make her skin look so good. She smiled and said that she had just turned 60 the previous day and offered a bunch of advice on her lifestyle and other things in general. Right when I left I wrote them all down.

  • She doesn’t wear makeup and never really did.
  • She doesn’t keep track of lies people tell. It’s too much work.
  • She gives people the benefit of the doubt and assumes they mean well.
  • She believes that love is easy to give and receive.
  • She doesn’t smoke, drink or take illegal drugs. She uses prescription and over-the-counter drugs sparingly.
  • She is a very “deep” or intellectual person.
  • She admits her faults when it comes to things.
  • She has a basic organizational system for many things and writes things down to help her remember.
  • She doesn’t wear heels because they aren’t realistic.
  • She has a 12 year-old child which helps keep her young.

Yes, that’s a lot, but it was so great that I remembered it all. I think it’s very important to not only listen to others but especially listen to others that are older than you.
