43 life lessons I’ve learned in 43 years
By - Richard - 27th January 2022
It was my 43rd birthday. Happy birthday me. I started to think about the amount of time I have spent on this earth. This was not an existential crisis, but a round about way of me coming up with the idea for this video. And I decided to reflect on all of the lessons life has taught me and give them to you, dear viewer, as 43 life lessons I have learned in 43 years.
By no means exhaustive, this collection of life lessons is a summary of the important, and less important things which I have learned for myself, either through observation or bitter experience. I hope that these life lessons are useful to you and that you can also recognise that I speak the truth – particularly when it comes to overhead lighting.
I find it funny to think that I am offering advice on life in this video. Consider it more a whimsical look at the trivial matters of life. These are merely things which I have learned and I hope they appeal to young people and old people alike. You never stop learning.
