I'm 84 and I Wasted the Happiest Years of My Life Without Knowing It

Описание: My name is George. I'm eighty-four years old. And the thing I never expected to carry into old age wasn't grief or regret — it was the quiet realization that the happiest years of my life were the ones I spent wishing they were different.
In this video I share something that took me over six decades to understand. About a young couple in a Pittsburgh apartment, a Tuesday evening in 1987, a newspaper I never put down, and a life I kept treating like a rough draft.
If any part of you is waiting for life to really begin — this is for you.
