Compiled by entrepreneur and writer James Altucher, 'Life Advice From 12 People Over 100' is a chart (and accompanying article) that includes what tips seniors would give to those who are only at the beginning or part way through their journey on earth. It is also probably worth noting that 11 out of the dozen people featured are women, with only one man's voice included. Shigeaki Hinohara encourages people to "make big art," which is a metaphor for lofty goals that will likely not be completed in your lifetime. Other themes include loving people and perseverance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Seniors](https://www.trendhunter.com/seniors) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Elderly Life Advice:** Opportunity for businesses to create platforms or services that provide access to life advice from elderly individuals. - **Gender Disparity in Elderly Voices:** Chance for organizations to address the gender gap in representing the voices and experiences of elderly individuals. - **Emphasizing Personal Growth:** Potential for companies to develop products or programs that encourage personal growth, goal-setting, and perseverance. ### Who This Affects Most - **Senior Care Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the senior care industry to integrate personalized life advice programs into their offerings. - **Digital Content Platforms:** Opportunity for digital content platforms to curate and provide access to a wide range of life advice from elderly individuals. - **Gender Equality Initiatives:** Chance for organizations working on gender equality to highlight the experiences and wisdom of elderly women. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Senior Rental Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rent-elderly-people.md) - [Daily Longevity Prescriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-age-well-pill.md) - [Data-Informed Longevity Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mylifebar.md) - [Elevated Senior Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remsen.md) - [Honest Senior Living Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/in-their-own-words.md) - [Time Awareness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-just-one.md) - [Elder Athlete-Supported Serum Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/longevity-serum.md) - [Heathy Aging Supplement Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-life-vitamins-ageless-theory.md) - [AI-Powered Family Story Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-story-ai.md)
