Life Lessons From 100-Year-Olds

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I've done all that I wanted to do. As long as I can be helpful and keep going. That's the main thing. My name is Clifford, but call me Cliff Crozier and I was born on the 6th of September 1915. Makes me now a hundred and one. born in Birkenhead in the Wirral, Cheshire. Apart from the war and the time I was at college, I've been everywhere in my life. I've been retired now for thirty-eight years. It always pleases me though that I can keep robbing the government with my pension. hmm It's just that you keep going. It's only a number. A hundred and one is only a number and you live for the day. A spot of whiskey occasionally helps... ...although it's not on National Health. I have a pile of fond memories. I sometimes sit down in my chair and think of my past, and I try to sort of reorganize the story about these people that I have got in my mind and mix them up together first, and then pair them all. (laughs) And I think there are quite a few people out there that would be... ...very very happy to be together because they are such lovely people that they are. Amelia Tereza Harper. Tereza, It's Tereza because it's Czechoslovakian. A hundred and three, my goodness me. Three is my lucky number. I have always been lucky. I've never been unlucky, touch wood. Oh, there's wood underneath there. I was in Czechoslovakia when I was a young girl... ...and I was living with my grandparents because my father was a prisoner of war. We came over to England to be with our father when he was released from the war. Everything makes me happy. I love talking to people. I like doing things. I like going out shopping. Once I go out shopping I don't want to come back. (laughs) I don't think there's anything I really need to do... ...because I've done practically everything that I ever wanted to do in the past. I've got beautiful memories you know. I can live happily forever after because of my lovely memories.

I don't have many failures. If I'm making a cake and it fails, it becomes a pudding.

Great video. There's some really sage advice in there.

This is beautiful and I would watch an entire series with more of this, total delight.

"I dont have many failures, if I'm making a cake and it fails, it becomes a pudding.".

"We did have problems, but we got through them. I think now a days people give up to easy."

"life goes on, regardless"

"They are there, they are in your mind, I think often of my children"

Any regrets? .. "None, none whatever"

"If you are happy. If you are happily married, and happily living, that is the finest remedy for all illness. Because everything is in perfect harmony."

Motherfucker doesn't look a day over 60 (hopefully that's a compliment - as it was meant - to a centurian)

[u/sodsnod]

Its not surprising they dont have many regrets. Youre not going to see 100 if you spend almost any period of your life carrying angst or regret with you.

I love how calm and mellow they are, I think that is a clue to their longevity.

[u/AirborneVeteran1999]

Ugh caught the feels..... damn awesome video. Older folks have so much you can learn from.

[u/iHateDem_]

Damn 100 that's like over 800k hours at life. They've gotta be pretty good.

That lady is a real champion. I cant remember the last time I said this, if ever, but I honestly have no other words.

Bless that soul of hers.
