Advice From Old Folks On How To Live Longer • 12
Benny Reddirt — Age 89
Old people may not be able to fix your computer when it is not working the way you want it to. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t smart. It just means they have wisdom in other areas of life, with a lifetime of experiences they can tap into.
Sadly, people have chosen to ignore this wealth of knowledge and choose online search engines instead. How impersonal. How cold. How isolating. I like my advice with a personal touch.
Publishing companies have also chosen to ignore this gold mine of wisdom by refusing to publish my book Super Useful Tips To Squeeze More Days Out Of Our Meager Human Lifespan.
But I remain undeterred. I am posting these nuggets of wisdom online. Because that’s where people go these days for advice. Mainly because my book isn’t available. It’s a vicious circle.
Savor each tip. Allow them to soak in and become part of your consciousness. Then incorporate them into your lifestyle.
Here is tip number 12:
If your feet are wet, don’t put on electric boots.
Excellent advice, Benny. Thank you. Hopefully, the kids are listening.
