My dear wife died at 68, almost 5 years ago. She was my life. Soon thereafter, I adopted my dog. We immediately bonded. He is never more than a few feet from me at all times. A few months after my wife died, my oldest son and his family offered to sell their house and move in with me (I have a big house). A few months later they moved in with my (then) 3 and 5 year-old grandsons. It’s been like a 2nd chapter for me. I do all the cooking and shopping, put them on the school bus in the morning and meet the bus when they come home - with my dog Prince wagging his tail beside me. I’ve gotten active in a small church with my grandsons who are both ringing the bell, lighting the candles, and taking the offering. I am busy. Too busy to feel sorry for myself. I thank God for my blessings everyday. I am a lucky man.

People who are older are often depressed not because they never trusted people or never loved anyone. Actually it's quite the opposite. They were young, they had their families, they got married, had children, had many friends, had their careers. They did love and trust their partners, their children, and their friends but, life changed, people change, then, they got older. Husband or wife left or died, friends moved away or died, grown children left home and so on and now children don't want to be bothered with their aging parents. They just don't give a damn. Beleive me things don't stay the same and it can happen to anyone once you start getting older plus everything seems to get more difficult with age. You get sick, you have an accident, you lose your home, you need surgery. Don't be too fast to judge older people You're life can change in the blink of an eye. It's certainly not because they didn't love or trust. It's not that easy for older people to make new friends Older people are more sensitive, nervous and not as capable of handling the punches anymore. People don't have a lot of friends and if they think they do then, they should ask themselves who are the truly good friends that they can count on. Most of their friends are probably just aquaintances, neighbours, coworkers but who are the few true friends. There's a saying that" if you have 1 or 2 really truly good friends in life then, you are blessed or you are very fortunate. The thing to learn here is to have compassion towards your fellow human being no matter how different they are and what they're going through because one day that might be you and you wouldn't like to be judged that your lonely because you did something wrong. We all make mistakes and we all have our time to learn. Yes some people learn faster than others but that doesn't mean they're better. Remember, everyone is on their own journey here on planet earth so, lets judge less and have more compassion for eachother ❤✌️

I’ll have to remember all of this when I get old. I’m only 92 now.

I'd rather be lonely alone than to be with someone and feel alone.

True friends will cry when u leave, fake friends will leave when u cry.

"Keep Busy" best advice heard here

As a 65 year old man, as friends get older, they get married, have a family, possibly relocate to another state, possible illness. There are many reasons that the connection to close friends are broken, and not the fault of the person, its just the circumstances of life.

Aside from my wife, I have never had a ‘best’ friend in my life and I am now 73. I have never considered the lack of close friends a handicap. I have zero expectations of any person I’ve ever met and have never approached them with the hope that they would be ‘my’ friend. Some people collect friends wherever they go. In the past I have wondered what that must be like, but now, with a lifetime lived without friends I occupy myself with activities and there seems to be no shortage of things to do.

As someone who has lost many members of the family, but worst of all , my husband who was 38 and I was 34, with ,2 small children, I am a senior now, and I know pain , greaf, and sorrow. I am still here in one piece. You have the power to heal, someone higher than you is in charge. Just believe, and never give up.

I am 62, my best friend died last year at age 88. There was standing room only at his funeral. He was a joy to be around.

I don't agree with the advice to get friends by showing interest in others' lives and their interests. I read that when I was a teenager. I'm now 73. The experience I had was that the relationships I built up using that advice eventually had me realizing that everything I experienced with those people was all about them. But finally it dawned on me that they knew nothing much about me and had never showed personal interest in me. So I'd continue on with the relationships but gradually begin subtly pulling away, testing to see if they would do anything to try to continue the relationship or just let it fade out, which is always what happened. So you may get relationships with others following that advice but I think in most cases they won't really be interested in you in return. I wish I were wrong. It sadly cost me a lot.

Older people often LOSE their friends to death or serious illness !!! Since 2014 I lost my husband, my cousin, 3 good friends and 2 neighbors!

Not building meaningful relationships is not why people don’t have friends in old age. It’s not because they didn’t trust people. It’s because they chose the wrong people to trust. And because the people you can trust make up a very small percentage of the people you’ll ever meet.

"2 men looked out proson bars,1 saw mud,the other saw stars."Needed this this morning!! thankful..

I've always been blessed with many friends throughout my lifetime. I come from a very large family as well. Thank God that I've always still considered myself a loner, or never relied on anyone, but I've always been there for all of them when they asked me to. I've been married, had my 2 kids, no grandkids. In the past few years I've lost many relatives, my ungrateful nephews and nieces don't bother to stay in contact, only when they need something. I've learned to get away from friendships that I realized were toxic and needy. My lifestyle has changed, but I've always kept myself busy enough to stay happy and never lonely. People to talk to are abundant, I'm friendly and talkative wherever I go without ever sharing too much. Whenever I read comments like these, I know I'm just like everyone else, I don't rely on others to make me happy. I'm close to God, that keeps me strong 🙏

PEOPLE NEED GOOD PEOPLE NOT BAD PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES❤

I took the Dale Carnegie Course several years ago. One of the best moves of my life. I highly recommend everyone take it in their early 20’s before heading out into the world. I’ll never forget one person in the class… he was homeless, depressed and withdrawn, the state paid the course fee. By the end of the month he was doing hilarious standup comedy before the class, full of confidence and charisma. I’ve never witnessed such a transformation before or since.

I like how this quote reminds us that keeping busy can be good for our well-being. Work, a hobby or any project can not only give us a sense of purpose but can also be good for our physical and mental health by distracting us from negative thoughts or emotions. 👉 "Keep busy. It's the cheapest kind of medicine there is."

"No one cares about how much you know until they know how much you care." - T. Roosevelt

My Teacher of 30 years ago, Once my Teacher always my Teacher.

I have read Dale Carnegie's all time hit book "How to win friends and Influence people" and I must say it truly has changed my life.

I've learned this long ago, and tried since then to be my best friend. And now, as i'm getting older, living well with myself is the best thing happening to me. No one understand and was good to me better than myself, my wife excepted., of course. As of my kids, they got their own life & family and don't care much about their aging parents. So be it. My preferred quote is the one saying you better be alone than having bad company. So true indeed. And finally, i wish you all to be the best friend to yourself above and apart from any friendship that may come and go.

I received those words the day before Mother's Day from 92 years old friend with three children. "Tomorrow will be hard for all mothers who suffer the indifference of children they raised with love. Put me on the list" ❤

We can be alone but not lonely.

Had huge families growing up. They have all passed and alit if cousins, friends, colleagues and classmates gave passed. Time you cannot replace.

Absolutely true. Spin off the fake friends, the people who use you, and pretty soon you don’t have many left. My dad decided to make friends with younger people when he was in his 80s and by the time he passed away, he had many young friends. It takes an effort to do that. I have usually had one or two real friends. Sometimes that is all you need!

When i was younger i had a couple of friends and we did everything together. We liked the same food, music, sports, activities, movies etc. Today tastes are very fragmented and diverse. It’s impossible to find a friend that shares more than one or two of the same things. In order to stay involved in my favorite 10 or 15 activities today i need 10 or 15 people instead of one or two. Its too hard to juggle that many schedules so I spend the majority of my time alone but im not lonely because i like my own company just fine.

There is an issue with being only interested in another. Its boring to talk to someone only interested in you. We like people who share of themselves as well. This is true relating.

I had such great times in my younger years. I did practically everything I wanted to do and had a fantastic social life. I’m in the 3rd quarter of average life. I never feel lonely although I’m alone most of the time. It’s called contentment.

I knew a guy who worked at Salisbury Labs in Iowa. Sold vacuum cleaners in his spare time. He told me he took the Dale Carnegie course. He said he used to argue with people. After the course he never had to argue with anyone

Words of wisdom we can all benefit from. Some sad stories from the comments here. We should always try to be kind and compassionate to all living things. Smile more and hope and courage. No one knows what tomorrow holds.x

Being a friend is more important than having

I loved, trusted and was very generous with friends and family...Most of them are on the other side already...Even my 30 year old grandson died of a motorcycle accident...I thank God for the few I still have left...But I have the most of them on the other side...

Caty999you described my exact sentiments. I went through those journeys. Was married for over 51yrs lost my husband near 2yrs ago. I’m 67yrs old now. And all alone . People don’t want to hang around older folks because u may need little help here and there . To change a light bulb or lift something . Or just to talk with . Despite you did your fair share in the past for many when you look around you see no one . That’s our life in this world . I’m thankful that eternity will be glorious

Old people gets lonely because they're alone all the time..Kids & friends are seldom around, outings are limited & reading or watching favorite t.v. shows doesn't compensate the desire to be with friends & loved ones...😢

I use to not trust many people and had only a few friends but yet i enjoyed my own company too. In my older years ive made lots of friends and have a fun social life but yet i tell my friends at times i enjoy my private time so if i dont always participate dont feel im snubbing you all. They respect me for my honesty

People talk about themselves because they know the subject well.

Also, (material-wise) happiness is not having what you want; it's wanting what you have.

Listening is the most underrated gift. I have been thanked often for listening actively to others' stories/concerns. I always long for someone to listen to my stories/concerns as I do, rather than just focusing on themselves --- talking, talking, talking. I have rarely experienced someone truly listening, but when I did, I found that I shared things I hadn't realized I knew/decided. Such a magical gift!

Being old doesn’t mean you’re lonely.

Two of my favorites, though not from Dale Carnegie...."Old age is a privilege denied to many", and "EVERY day above ground is a good day!"

I live in CA and most of my friends are moving out of state. Sometimes circumstances take away friends.

A quote from me: "Laziness, procrastination and depression are often the spirit's rebellion against a life that sucks."

Love hearing Dale Carnegie again. This guy’s wisdom is timeless.❤😮😅😊🎉

"Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success." -Dale Carnegie

I like Dr Jordan Peterson's quote. " Do not talk to people who don't want to listen". Certainly saved me a lot of wasted time in the last 3 years.

Best is """ dont expect any thing from any one,, believe & trust SELF"""

I LOVE the one that says..."the reason birds and horses are happy are because they are NOT trying to impress other birds or horses". So very true...never worry about pleasing others that could care less about you. I am glad I have always known this, and don't care to impress anyone!

Friends are people that come and go for their own purposes.

Excellent Dale Carnegie ❤❤❤

I graduated a Dale Carnegie course a few years ago. This video reminded me of the significance of that.

I've seen many people grow up in violent homes filed with substance abuse. I am in my seventies and survived to live a great life. Many, many, did not. Only the survivors of the horror know this.

Keep busy is the cheapest kind of medicine! Be it with a book, work, sport! This is ironclad and proven and one of the best self healing methods! Our fatigue is caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.... and boi I couldn't agree more!!!

Taking the Dale Carnegie Course was the BEST thing I did for my future/career.

I have always suffered from a lack of loneliness. Now that I'm older, I enjoy finally being alone for myself

I read Dale Carnegie around 15yo. Then another book around 25yo something about happiness by another writer whom I could not recall. These 2 books indeed helped me through life. Now I am at my 60s I could accept life quite well although things around not too good. Keep busy is really good. Always keep in touch with friends online, cost nothing. Meeting friends is a must once in awhile. Be generous with 'unknown' people around you or on the streets. I prefer to help people whom I dont know cos they would not come back easily 😊. Little acts can easily put a smile on them. If I were to help people I knew well some would rely and always come back to you. Not sure anybody here understand my point. Well my point in 'giving' is magical in whatever ways you can afford. It really gives us some sense of satisfaction and joy 💕💕

Friends are easy. Show interest in other people. Ask questions. Even if it’s just standing in a long line talk to the people around you. I was fortunate to work at a coffee store. Our job besides getting the customer’s drink correct is to make everyone feel welcome. Love or hate Starbucks their motto was “it’s not home it’s not work, it’s the third place” I like talking to people. Ask questions, everyone wants to talk about themselves and feel they are heard. Listen and make a short comment every now and then. Everyone wants to feel seen 😊

Dale Carnige was a great Master of wisdom and a great psychologist the world has ever created.

My mother worshipped this man along with Vernon Howard and am forever grateful for her introducing him to me ❤

Dale Carnegie’s work had a huge influence on my life, and still continues to do so. I attended the Dale Carnegie course as part of my professional development, and went on to become a graduate assistant and then instructor on the course. The quote that has the most influence on me is the one about thinking of the worst that can happen, accepting the worst then working to improve on it. I use it often. One of the things I like about Carnegie’s quotes is that many of them are action-oriented. They’re practical things that you can go and do today. Still got my Golden Book!

I read that book always when I am down and need some inspiration. It amazes me how much it changes you.

A life changing course. I highly recommend it for anyone.

It's been a long time since I read How to Makes Friends and Influence People. Dale has much wisdom, which is an enduring asset to American optimism.

Unfortunately as you get old, your friends and acquaintances get sick and die. This is why family becomes crucial to the old.

*Be your own best friend - you'll always be in delightful company.*

"talk to someone about themselves, and they'll......." assume you're fascinated by them and never change the subject. That's my experience over and over and over. But thanks, these are interesting thoughts.

A matter of tradition and culture. In my country we used to live together , parents children, grandfather/granmother. No children left their parents although had got married. No feeling of loneliness. Old parents might move from one child's house to another at will, to prevent boredom. We care our old parents full of love . Until one by one we passed away

I took the Dale Carnegie course in 1974. I'm glad to see this coming back. We have come to accept self-centeredness too much causing breakdowns in communication and healthy personal and business relationships. Be the one to care, and they will care too.

"The only thing they hear, is the jingle in their pocket book." Best quote Dale ever made.

These are fantastic. Another one I like is "Just be yourself. Everyone else is taken.

No company is better than bad company. Go out there and talk and be kind to others. Then, go home and live privately. People can be/cause trouble in your personal life.

I'm amazed at Carnegie's altruism and optimism even if he's occasionally very dark. Great video.

as someone who has had a hard life and been alone all my life I agree with this .

I was lucky to take, and graduate from, the Dale Carnegie Course at the age of 16. I went on to be a graduate assistant for other classes. That was almost 5 decades ago. Looking back, it was one of the best experiences of my life and to this day I still remember and do my best to implement the things I learned. The more things change (AI, TikTok, politics, robot cars, whatever) the more you realize the truth and the good things that come from it are simple and never change.

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.” Dale Carnegie

Let go of yourself ♥️🤙😇and true love does find a way.Thanks.True words spoken.Peace comes from within but flows to others in many ways.

Great quotes! Love it!

Listening is one skill that many of us of the older lot learnt to be more adept at after reading his writings.Alas there aren’t many who have the time to listen.Most often we are to outscore others in our interactions

The best quotes i ever learn and heard in life truely magical inspiration video thank you❤

How To Win Friend’s And Influence People is one of the best self help books out there, BUT just reading it won’t change your life you have to put what it say’s in there into practise.

Mr. Dale Carnegie's principles are GOLDEN. We're truly blessed to be able to learn from him.

I came across Carnegie when my first child was a baby. At the time I didn’t realize how much of his advice got into my marrow. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best has become part of my philosophy, here fifty years later I’d forgotten where it came from.

I found the more people i meet the more i love my dog

I was 18 when I read "How to Win Friends and Influence People." It changed my life.

"If voting made a difference, they wouldn't let us do it." MARK TWAIN

Be a good person ❤

"Too late" is a depression, not age. The most difficult thing is to believe in oneself. People can do a lot more than they think at a later age they believe

I dont mind being alone...the 2 other voices in my head dont get lonely...😮

words of wisdom, read his book 43 years ago👍🏼

My personal opinion is to keep smiling and feel confident about yourself 👍 Always try to be more Social in your Society Life has different ambitions of courage and disappointments each day Our mistakes which we have experienced are our lessons Yes I agree a very basic word Yes Life is too short we must appreciate each little thing in front of us , nature listening to the birds the crushing waves slamming on the rocks , children singing,the giggles of the children, seeing the sunrise early in the morning with tinges of pink and yellow shades penetrating through the clouds because most of us live in a city these little observations can't be done People wake up with ANXIETY and have to face being in a traffic jam to get to work I've left the city and am currently living beside the sea coast ❤ take lovely walks every morning and ENJOY each second of the day This was a wonderful video 🌹

Watching from Switzerland

I agree 100 percent with what's been said above. We will all get there.

I have slowly lost all the friends I ever had, many are dead, others moved abroad. The rest just slowly faded away, life happened, interests changed. The pandemic didn't help. The love of my life died in 2018. Last year my 18 yr old dog had to be put down. I'm 50 yrs old and just haven't got the energy to deal with strangers. I see myself dying alone, being found when the smell gets too much.

Being called a good talker means you are a good listener.

I’m 70 live alone and I Am Not Lonely … I like my own company !!!!

When Dale said most people are only interested in themselves, I think that’s because as a rich business man, he only associated with other people like him.

Great quotes

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." -

People who unconditionally help others. Have been taken full advantages. They are the fools. I learned it hard way. I rather follow now: “Never help a beggar. He will turn on you” Homer 800 (BC)
