In a market research call centre role, everyone came in jeans and t shirt and I was the only one in a suit. Everyone respected me and complimented me. Also, no one took the mickey out of me. Also, it was casual work so I had to book my shifts and they only gave shifts to those who met their daily targets. Even at times when I didn't meet my targets, I still was given shifts. Also, one gentleman copied me and came to work in a suit lol.

Great advice, Ash albeit the smoke reminded me of a 1980s Gary Numan concert. Less is more. Buy cheap, buy twice. Enjoy solitude and also the company of strangers. Avoid mood hoovers. Love your cat and revisit interests when you become more time rich. Leave your comfort zone. Avoid social media.

A truly beautifully engineered suitcase. I would personally try and panel beat the dent out and get it back to as nice a condition as possible.

In this day and time, I think you’re basically paying for snob value in most cases. I will pay for a quality product. I will not pay for snob value. I own an Islander ISL-38 Datejust styled piece and have no real desire to own a Rolex. Very happy with the watch. To Marc Elias’s credit, he did some things to the design that very clearly differentiated the Islanderjust from the Rolex. I have no qualms wearing it wherever one would wear a DJ.

Wow this is a tough one. Like you, I was exposed to 007 as a kid through Roger Moore, and I used to think he was far and away the best Bond. As I grew up and continued to watch all the Bond movies over and over again my opinion changed. I truly believe Sean Connery was the ultimate Bond movie actor, followed closely behind by Daniel Craig. I feel the character demands a level of athletic prowess and aggression that Connery and Craig presented better than Roger Moore. Having said that, Live and Let Die and For Your Eyes Only or amongst my favorites of the movies. I thought Timothy Dalton was underrated and his premier in The Living Daylights is another one of my favorites (though License To Kill was a train wreck). Dalton could have developed nicely into the role I believe. Though I will watch every Bond movie that comes along, I will reserve comment on the Pierce Brosnan movies (recovering PTSD), even though I loved him as Remington Steele. Interestingly, as a martial arts practitioner I think that amongst the early Bonds, George Lazenby did a great job in his fight scenes demonstrating fight skill that was rarely seen in movies until much more recently (al la John Wick). What I loved about Daniel Craig is that he was the first actor to present a Bond character that actually bleeds. This was important because it is inconceivable that an agent can go through the adventures that James Bond goes through and always come out unscathed. My vote for the next James Bond actor amongst the choices in your previous video: Henry Cavill hands down. One just needs to watch the movie The Man From Uncle to see that he's got this. I think Aaron Taylor-Johnson is great (Bullet Train!!), but I don't see it just yet. Give Cavill the chance first, and then Taylor-Johnson when he matures a little. I'm not the least bit worried about the ages of these actors. Much to the credit of contemporary action movie stars the level of physical fitness they are achieving to play these roles is extremely impressive. Just look at Keanu Reeves and Hugh Jackman at what they did prepare preparing for their respective characters. At 50+ years old, truly exceptional!!

Nice keep up the good work

Another excellent video ❤

I so enjoy all your videos, as a man with Scottish heritage, and desire to be a chap. I believe that joy and contentment are more important than happiness, which is based on circumstances in our lives. The only thing about you that makes me sad is that you appear to be either agnostic or atheist, though I hope it’s only so as not to alienate some of your followers.

Sounds like a fantastic day very interesting

This looks to be the perfect luggage set, for the discerning traveller. The collaboration with Hackett is an added touch of class. If I were lucky enough to win the giveaway, I would be proud to take this luggage on all of my adventures!

A View to a Kill is such an experimental movie, it's kind of amazing it is as good as it is. if you think about it, there are 3 different plots to the thing, and none of them have anything to do with each other. they are at first looking for a microchip, then doping race horses, and then flooding Silicon Valley, its crazy. also think Sir Roger is a fine choice for a favorite Bond, he always gave an excellent performance.

Im a 3 out of 6 right now. Need to make more friends but see new people every weekend in the mountains. Talking of which my hobby sums up your metaphor perfectly. Currently 84 peaks into the Wainwrights challenge. Every one is a win

Brilliant A thank you

Prefer the Santos to my Rolex’s. But the Rolex boxes are better made 🤣

Great outlook on life. It reminded me of the poem “Do not go gentle into that good night”

The key to a happy life is to make enough money to buy what you want, travel where you desire, wear all the watches you dream of, and eat what makes you happy. Cheers old chap!

First and foremost, thanks for your service! Second. Thank you for sharing this, I literally have no idea how to iron clothes but now I feel way more confident because of this video. Thanks !

Thanks! For the Advice and Intro and End Song 🎧 I Love it I jam to it ❤😊

❤👏🙌

Objectively, our lives are worse than before. Disruptive, decentering change is rapid and ongoing. By burning fossil fuels we are permanently and irreversibly harming the life support systems we need to survive and heating is not presently controlled. The natural world is going through mass extinctions, another irreversible harming of the our natural capital. We should be anxious and worried about this. Only a fool would not be. The key is to use it as the motivation for action, not as a recipe for despair and defeatism and sadness.

I'm a little out of the norm here. I use an electric shaver on the mustache area and a double edge razor everywhere else on the face.

Secret of happiness I found from my friend circle is don’t have kids. All the happiest adults I know are the ones without kids. Worth pondering.

I certainly will take modern medicine. I probably would be dead but for it. I remember my paternal grandmother, born in the 1890's, simply wearing out in her early seventies and dying. I just turned 81 and plan to be around a good bit longer. There is an old spiritual principle that says to live in the here and now. That is my objection to cell phones. Those glued to them are living elsewhere. Taking a child for a walk and glued to the phone, missing the joy of being outside with the wonder of a child (or a dog or whatever). Always elsewhere. As to the wonderful past, I have no neighbors dying of typhoid or diphtheria. Yes, we have problems, but so has every generation. I'll live with today's extended health and vigor.

Thanks! I'm a woman and I love your channel.

I've been a Tricker fan for a long time I had a pair of stow Tricker boots for 28 years and the only reason for parting was my feet seemed to widened and stow is a 5 fitting so I needed a 6 fitting which I bought My only gripe with Trickers is all their footwear should be available in a 5 or 6 fitting but the quality of Trickers is the best you can buy

The secret to a happy life is obviously to continue your endless search for that "grail" watch. You will never experience a better high than that felt as you unwrap the latest watch in this search. Of course next month you will be less happy with the watch when the credit card bill has arrived but you just get on the interweb and continue searching...

Great advice Ash. Travel is important to grow. Learn about different cultures and see new things. Keep your mind and body healthy. Cheers Ron

Wise words. I try and enjoy life 100% i have a full time job. But that doesn't stop me from doing things i enjoy in life.

Thank You for the Video 😀

Is being happy a short term thing, whereas contentment is a long term feeling and hence, the better aim?

My wife added a 7th secret. "Listen to your wife". 🙂

I know I'm very late into this video, but do you ever think that formal clothing will ever make a comeback? personally, I hope so, after all, casual clothing for everyday wear has been around for 50 or 40 years already. I think is only a matter of time that people get bored and sick of their everyday clothing.

Currently, I'm in my early 60s, and about 20 years ago, I realized that happiness is a tangential snap shot in time. So I learned to strive for peace, and I look at life through the equation PEACE = JOY + SORROW. Joy is found in many of the suggestions you often mention in your videos, and being grateful for having these things. Living in peace with yourself means to know what brings you joy, and being able to maintain that joy while you navigate the sorrows in life. This is most helpful as we age, and the sorrows tend to show up more frequently as we lose people.

I am 85 and am a greeter to people attending our church. I have a selection of blazers and pants that compliment them. Wear a tie and pocket square which tops it off. I am sharp mentally, remember names and can carry on a great conversation. I get many a comment on my dress from men and women. People appreciate a proper dressed person. 😊 😅

I was coughing my lungs out watching that.

great video Ash! I like the idea of the book club

Wise words, Ash. Thanks! I was also the only guy in my book-club - although the ladies were about twenty years older.... Thoroughly enjoyed it, but had to stop as the books were mostly of bible-thickness and time was lacking

Great advise Ash. Have a great weekend.

Ash, Well said, I've always tried to be positive and during those difficult times I still try and stay positive. Also, I ask myself and others what is out there to do with themselves outside of work. You've given me some good suggestions.

Great way to relax 😊 Zee Finnish Soldiers would convert that into a Sauna - In a jiffy 😉 😂 well done

Secrets of a happy life 😁 Always always where ever possible make sure you sleep with the wife's younger sister 😁 It works a treat ! 😂 keep it in the family 😂

Happiness is a journey not a destination. I wonder if you have ever read any Heidegger.

If you go back more than a couple of generations, people were concerned about their faith, not just "putting food on the table". Look at all the church buildings they left us, for goodness sake.

Happy wife, happy life. That’s my secret.

Great Video Ash

Ash I am currently in the same career that you recently left and find I often see the negative in life situations all too often, which has led to difficulty in relationships where I often highlight pitfalls and risks of situations due to my expecting the worst. It is a good skill to have to weigh up risk, but I always have to remind myself to be more carefree.

As alluded to previously. The difference between happiness and contentment is similar to that between fashion and style - one is transient, the other lasts a lot longer. Also, health is wealth, which is what our grandparents focussed on in those pre-social security days.

I'm over 60 and only have a handful of friends, which I've known for decades. That's plenty enough for me. I don't feel happy in large groups. There's a huge difference between happy solitude and loneliness. Don't feel obliged to meet tons of new "friends" (are they, really? Or are there just fleeting acquaintances?) if you don't feel a void in that aspect of your life. We are herd animals, but there are some happy lone wolves around, everywhere.

Sadly nowadays happiness is connected with financial wealth. In Germany they don't say froehlich but glücklich which means lucky. All about luck and money. But wealth can be exactly the reason for unhappiness. Look at the richest people in the world. Money aplenty yet divorced and live in their own world in their own circles with fear to mingle among the populace. They have no freedom but full of fear to be kidnapped or lose their money. Freedom, not being rich, is a big step towards happiness. If you don't own anything expensive then nobody can take anything away from you that's peace. Freedom and peace nears you to happiness. 2 big things among others.
