‘The Wisdom Pot’ was inspired by posts on a seniors’ platform that were meant to help members, their families and friends prepare and navigate through different stages in life. While compiling tributes to a fallen colleague, the author soon realized that the platform had so many informative, educative and entertaining words of wisdom for different ages. He collected those he felt could be shared with the wider society because of their relevance and usefulness.
As the world wrestled with the COVID 19 pandemic, tips on protective measures such as sanitizing, washing hands and wearing masks featured regularly on the platform. So were tips on general health, especially for the elder citizens. The elders got to learn that proper networking, like checking on each other daily, can be lifesaving.
The elders exchanged notes on the mid-career, getting married, bringing up children and finding real happiness. What many are ignorant about are the changes that come about in our families, jobs and ages. Did you know that many married women, when they reach 40-50 years and have children, become rebellious to their husbands?
