“An advice to my 20-year-old self”

Christine is 65 years old. She is a board member of the national Older Women’s Network in the Netherlands (OVN-NL). This winter, she shared an advice to her 20-year-old self.

As a young person, I would state that ageing is not something to be afraid of. It is a natural process that is part of life. The challenge is to embrace the opportunities in becoming a better person. Facing and tackling problems is simply natural during your life.

Never be afraid of communicating with others, with young and older persons: one always needs another person to become better and to make the world a better place for everyone.

Christine, 65
