A wise person can learn something new everyday and has an open mind. A guy by the name of Sahil Bloom turned 32 recently and decided to spend the month leading up to his birthday asking 90 year old friends for some life advice. Here’s what they shared:
1. Now and then, break out the fancy china and drink the good wine for no reason at all.
2. Dance at weddings until your feet are sore.
3. Tell your partner you love them every night before falling asleep. Someday you’ll find the other side of the bed empty and wish you could.

4. Don’t fear sadness, as it tends to sit right next to love.
5. Treat your body like a house you have to live in for another 70 years.
6. Never raise your voice, except for at a ballgame.
7. Do one good deed every single day, but never tell anyone about it.

8. Time doesn't heal anything when it comes to relationships. Don't delay difficult conversations.
9. Find the things that make your eyes light up. Do more of those.
10. Always remind yourself that your track record for making it through your bad days is perfect.

11. If something has a minor issue, repair it. Minor issues become major issues over time. Applies equally to love, friendships, health, and home.
12. The most damning lie you can tell is the lie you tell to yourself.
13. No one has ever argued their way to happiness.

14. If you’re going to lose a fight, make sure the other person thinks twice before fighting you again.
15. Getting old is no picnic, but it's much better than the alternative.
16. You may occasionally disappoint others, but make sure to never disappoint yourself.
