Eddie’s Words of Wisdom

Yesterday the world lost a beautiful man, a wise soul, an angel on earth, Holocaust survivor, Eddie Jaku, OAM, aged 101.

For anyone who is unfamiliar with this beautiful, smiling, joyful, face, Eddie is the self-professed “The Happiest Man on Earth’. He authored his memoirs, in his book with the same title, which was published last year to mark his 100th birthday, making him one of the world's oldest published authors. Go Eddie!

The aim of today is to engage with people you care about or who you may have concerns about, to show you care, to let them know you are there for them and to encourage them to seek help (if needed).

Today is about highlighting the importance of having a conversation that could save a life. Nothing more important than that! It's such a simple concept, yet such a vital question: RU OK?
