Speech Highlights:
Three Reasons for Seasoned Folks to Stay Engaged
1. Give Unsolicited Advice--At Least Share Your Opinion
Context is key and in our individualistic culture, you have to use discernment….
But if you see something say something, especially when it’s someone you know and care about.
2. French Wine - Getting Better With Age
Don’t ever think, what do I have to offer?
-You have tremendous value to add to the lives of the younger generations. Don’t sell yourself short.
As you grow older with grace, don’t get bitter, get better—sweeter
3. Act Your Age
“It is not our physical state that limits us,” it is our mindset about our own limits, our perceptions, that draws the lines in the sand. - Ella Langerre.
