I'm 81 Years Old and I Wasted Decades Being Careful About the Wrong Things quotes, wise, wisdom, motivation, inspiration, life lessons, best quotes, greates quotes My name is Donald Ray Mercer. I am 81 years old. I grew up in Harlan County, Kentucky. I worked hard my whole life. I loved my wife Carol for over 50 years. I raised two children. I did everything I was supposed to do. And somewhere along the way, without ever meaning to, I kept the people I loved at a quiet distance. This is not a motivational video. I am not trying to inspire anyone. I recorded this because there are things sitting in my chest that deserve to be said before time runs out. About carefulness. About what it costs. About the letters I found in the back of the closet years after my wife passed. About the door I didn't knock on. About the trip I never took. About the words I never said.
