Show Notes

Is there a point where we should stop striving to become our best?  

 

Our guests today, Clarence and Sheila Blair, are living proof that doing that would be the worst of mistakes. Married for almost 70 years, retired for over 20, and after visiting more than 50 countries on 7 continents, they still work daily on improving themselves as individuals and as a couple.  

 

In this episode, Sheila and Clarence share the most significant lessons they learned in almost a century of life and their views on how, despite the rapid changes the world saw in the last 50 years, basic principles like respect, hard work, commitment, and resilience can still make a difference in everyone's life. They also talk about why we must learn to laugh at ourselves more often, avoid taking ourselves too seriously, be comfortable with failing, and much more.
