Personal Growth

18 years old or 81 years young? The ultimate proof that age is just a number.

We often think life is sort of over when you get older. The golden agers in the video below prove that’s not the case at all, as long as you’re young at heart. I know 18 years olds that don’t have a much life in them as these 81 year olds do.

Mamy Rock – oldest DJ ever

Ruth Flowers (AKA Mamy rock) shows us you’re never to old to try new things. At age 66 she discovered EDM! And in 2010 she had a hit with her single "Still Rocking".

Since then she shared the podium with e.g. Lenny Kevitz and played in Pacha. She died at age 84 and until her very last day, she lived the way she wanted without caring about what other people might think. Good for her!

Dancing Nana

Nana’s grand daughter regularly picks up her grandmother Nana. When she arrives at her home, she opens the windows of her car and pumps up the volume. 

Her moves are fantastic and show she enjoys life to the max. And that she does not avoid the F-word makes her even cooler. Watch the video till the end 🙂

Paddy  is a 78 years young grandma from England who moved to Spain with her husband. After he passed away she went back to dancing classes where she met Nico, her dance instructor. Since their appearance at Britain’s Got Talent they became a living attraction. 

At first I thought I was looking at a young person wearing a suit and make-up. But there is no disguise. She is the real deal. Source: Facebook Antena3

Georgina Harwood is not intimidated by heights (or sharks)

Georgina celebrated her 100 birthday by going skydiving. This was already her third jump. She took her first jump when she was 92. And she’s got more plans… she wants to shim with sharks. What will be next?

Love her self-mockery

We do not know who this lady is, but we do know she has a great sense of humor. Even if you’ve seen the video before, watch it again. It is hysterical.
