00:00 So why do you think it's important that we listen to advice?
00:03 If we listen to it, then one day maybe down the road we might come across something and hear that voice.
00:09 Then someday you can give the same advice to someone else as well.
00:12 That's it, we're here to help people after all.
00:15 So what is one thing you would never regret?
00:21 Investing in my own health and doing my own research.
00:26 Health is wealth.
00:27 Yeah, absolutely.
00:28 What's your biggest regret in life?
00:31 My biggest regret is allowing fear to dominate my life and my decisions.
00:36 When I don't speak up and I believe in it, I get so many thoughts in my mind that it just gets piled up.
00:42 So, Nikki, for me, an extremely young person, I'm joking.
00:49 Tell me your pearl of wisdom. What could I learn from you that would really, really benefit me?
00:54 Time is of the essence. Don't waste it, particularly on people who don't deserve your time. It's so precious.
01:04 My pearl of wisdom would be, if you're going through hell, keep going.
01:09 Keep going.
01:10 For sure. You don't want to stay there.
01:12 My pearl of wisdom is, enjoy life. Just enjoy it and smile.
01:18 And also laughing, I suppose, because that tricks the heart as well, doesn't it? Laughing is good for the heart.
01:24 So you can smile and then keep smiling and find something to laugh at.
01:27 What would you have loved or heard when you were younger?
01:31 If I could tell my younger self something, it would be, as long as you stay true to yourself and be as good a person as you can be, things will always work out.
01:42 Take a risk. Take risks. Just follow your heart.
01:46 Give it a go. Whatever it is that you want to do or just try, it's better to try than not at all.
01:55 This has been lovely talking to you today. I feel happy already. I really do.
02:01 It's been an eye-opener and I think I'm going to leave this conversation continuing to be mindful.
02:06 And I'm really going to take home with me to just not waste time.
02:10 So I appreciate our conversation and just don't forget to keep smiling.
02:14 Thank you very much.
02:15 Thank you.
02:17 I'm going to miss you.
02:18 (upbeat music)
