Life is a journey, and the more years we spend “traveling”, the bigger our baggage of life lessons gets. Needless to say, after decades on this earth, it can become quite hefty, but that’s what makes it a great source of ideas, tips, and inspiration for other voyagers out there.

Atlanta-based fractional sales executive Louie Bernstein recently discussed his experiences on the ‘Life Hacks’ subreddit; but instead of delving deeper into the subtleties of successful sales strategies, he chose to share the life lessons he’s learned over the 72 years spent on this earth. Bernstein’s list of 32 things encouraged quite a few redditors to discuss their experiences, too, resulting in a rather inspiring collection of ideas from all of those involved.

Bored Panda got in touch with Louie Bernstein and he was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about the list, so continue scrolling to find his thoughts in the text below.
