WEBVTT - MINI: (Genuinely Good) Life Lessons from a 100 Year Old!

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Now we have such a feel good story for you today.

0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>There is a woman. Her name is Betty Woodhams, and

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>she has just recently turned one hundred years old.

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 2>She actually looks incredible, she doesn't she undy given sixty

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 2>five draconck it. I don't know great.

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>She's definitely been punching some vittom, that's for sure.

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>She always wears a hat, she said.

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>So I really love this. I read this article like

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>just the other day, and I thought it was very sweet,

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.479
<v Speaker 1>because often you get some real batty advice from people

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>who have made it to the old century. But I

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.279
<v Speaker 1>think Betty's advice around how to live life and how

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>to lean into like the really great moments of life

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>is something that we can all take a bit of

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>advice from. One of the quotes that she had to

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>say was her happiness in life over the last century

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.480
<v Speaker 1>has been about great friends, a balanced diet, no regrets,

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and always wearing a hat. She says, try to stay

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>happy even when things may seem like they are getting

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>the better of you. There really is something good in everything.

0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Relaxing with a glass of wine at dinner, or enjoying

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the odd champagne with a friend or two always helps

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like she's really lived alive. Like she's just saying friends, wine, chocolate.

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 2>That sounds brilliant, but she always she said, she has

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>like really good food too. So she said, I eat everything,

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 2>more chocolate than I should. I drink full cream milk

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 2>as well, and wine with dinner every single night. Go Off, Betty, Betty,

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>go off. I have not had full cream milk. Do

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 2>you know this is my problem? I'm going to diet fifty.

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I've not had full cream milk my entire life. I've

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 2>never drunk milk.

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think full cream milk is the elixa to

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>whether you make it to a hundred or not bread.

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>It gives you gastro So I'm gonna say no.

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Calcium for strong bones. That's really important for aging.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>The reason why I liked this is because I think

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>often we get so caught up in stuff as we're

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>like in our thirties or our forties or our fifties,

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and the things that you worry about are not the

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>things that matter when you make it to ripe old age,

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>if you're lucky enough to make it to that age.

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>And like her talking about how she's enjoyed all different

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>kinds of food, how she's been able to enjoy her

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>life without it being about the certain way that she

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>looked or how she presented to other people. You know,

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're in your thirties, you look back on your

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>twenties and you go, God, I wish I appreciated how

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>hot I was in my twenties, And when you're in

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>your forties, you no.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.359
<v Speaker 2>But it's true because like, have you seen me in my.

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Twenty When you're young, you can never appreciate like how

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>lucky you are to be the version of yourself that

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you are then, And it's only with the beauty of

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 1>hindsight that you go, oh wow, Like, you know, I

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>wish I had the ability to appreciate those years more.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I remember some advice that I heard from somewhere.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>I think of someone famous. I don't think anyone told

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.239
<v Speaker 2>it to me. It's like, if you're not going to

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 2>care about it or remember it, or it's not going

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 2>to be an issue in five years, don't let it

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>be an issue now. And I think that that is

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 2>really rings true when you think of the things that

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>get you down, Like sometimes think of how much getting

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>stuck in traffic in the morning or road rage. You

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 2>think of how much I can throw you off your

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>whole day. It's such a stupid little thing when you

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>think about it. Are you gonna think about it next

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 2>week or in five years? No, but we do let

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>ourselves dwell on it.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>But also imagine getting to one hundred years old and

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>being able to confidently say that you don't have any

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.359
<v Speaker 1>regrets about how you live life. It's like, what a

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.679
<v Speaker 1>joy that is. I had a really interesting conversation recently

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>with Dave hughes who so many of you will know Hughesy.

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>He was just an I'm a celebrity, get me out

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of here, and when I was over there in Africa,

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:12.839
<v Speaker 1>we were on a bus trip on the way back

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>from shooting one day and he said, like, one of

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 1>the best things about him doing comedy is that it's

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>given him this incredible sense to be able to really

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>appreciate when life doesn't go to plan and when life

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>is actually a little bit shit, because great things can

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>still come from it, like whether it's funny content or

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>turning it into a skit. There's always moments from every

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>single thing that you experience in life that you can

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>look at from a positive way, even if it is

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>totally not what you had planned for your life, and

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>even if it's not in any way a good experience,

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>but there's often this little silver slither lining in there

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>as well. You know what else I love or other

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>quota I love, oh God, eat, pray love.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 2>No, he's just on the edge of my tongue. Oh

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>we're we're all waiting, or you threw me hang on

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>one's risk it for the biscuit. But that's not what

0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking.

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>No, I've got it. Great.

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Life isn't a dress rehearsal. It's the show. This is

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>the show. Now, there's no dress rehearsal. There's no second chance.

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>It's like, you got to live your life. But before

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 2>we wrap this up, I do want to say the

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>best part about this for me is when you think, like,

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>how would I spend my hundredth birthday? She went and

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 2>did her favorite thing to do in the world, which

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 2>is go plant shopping at Bunnings. And I just think

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 2>that that is the most wholesome, beautiful thing, and so

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what you would do if you're a

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>hundred long.

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I do it now, Yeah, I mean I'll do that

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>for my fortieth it's coming up next year.
