Listen As People Age 7 to 93 Give Heartwarming (and Funny) Advice to Their Younger Selves

You'll be smiling all day after watching this video.

If you could go back in time and give your younger self some life advice, what would you say? That's what CBC Radio's Wire Tap asked a group of people in a sweet video titled "How to Age Gracefully."

In the clip, people aged 7 to 93 impart some words of wisdom to people a year younger than they are. (The age gap widens a bit as the video goes on.) Instead of general topics, their life lessons are more specific, making the clip one to pull on your heartstrings and tickle your funny bone at the same time. 

It starts with a 7-year-old girl encouraging kids to ditch training wheels. "Just let go already," she says adorably. For the next four minutes, you hear over 80 years' worth of prime life advice. 

From a spunky (and slightly terrifying) 9-year-old saying, "Dear 8-year-old, find out your babysitter's weakness. Then use it against them," to the matter-of-fact 91-year-old advising an 88-year-old to "cultivate younger friends. Otherwise, yours will all die off," every person proves that we truly never stop learning.

Watch the thoughtful video in full above, as we go back-up our hard-drives right now (because a seemingly wise 29-year-old just told us to).
