I’m 106… This Is The Secret To A Happy Life

Submission by Salvatore. A 106 year old. He lost his mother at 5, his first wife at 31, his shop at 58, and his second wife last year. He should be the saddest man in Brooklyn. He's not. This isn't toxic positivity. This is a man who survived everything and chose joy anyway. Recorded in his Brooklyn apartment, January 2026. He asked me to tell you: stop waiting. Be happy now.  What's one small thing you're grateful for today? Tell me in the comments.  #happiness #lifesecrets #gratitude #wisdom #joy #lifelessons #centenarian

This is straight, no-sugarcoating perspective from someone who’s lived long enough to see what truly matters. Don’t spend years learning it the hard way. Take the lesson now, avoid the same mistakes, and make better choices while you still can.

About Young vs. Old

This channel shares candid, no-fluff conversations shaped by people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond—stories about the choices they regret, the mistakes that cost them the most, and the lessons they wish they’d learned earlier. Each week brings a new perspective, but the same core themes keep showing up: life, love, time, and what matters when everything else falls away.

Topics include: wisdom from older adults, common regrets and how to avoid them, priorities and time, relationships and family, career and success, health and aging, mortality and meaning, living with intention, and the advice they’d give their younger self. Don’t spend decades learning these lessons the hard way—learn from people who already paid the price.
