WATCH: People Don’t Have Sell-By Dates
Back in 2011, the British over-50 lifestyle and life insurance outfit Saga (think AARP with an English accent) launched a contest for the organization’s 60th birthday: Called “Being 50,” the contest sought short videos that challenged conceptions of aging and promoted understanding between generations.
The winner was this film by London-based commercial filmmaker Tadas Vidmantas. Its message: People don’t have sell-by dates. It’s a great message whether you’re 60-something or 30-something.
Last week, Vidmantas’s video went viral via the social site Upworthy, which specializes in finding highly emotional feel-good and get-mad videos that people will want to share.

It is not about aging changing how we live.
It is about how life changes as we age…at ANY age.
Bravo! If more young people were concerned about getting/being older, older age would be nicer and easier. Prepare your future – that is, if you are lucky enough to grow old!! I’m 68, a retired lawyer and college lecturer, and I’m getting a Master’s in Gerontology. I want to know more before I become old! How about that?
