Jack Osborne, 93, retired from General Motors

To give: "Life's experience." To share what he's learned over his long life. "Life is full of shortcomings, but if you just wait, life will change and get better." His advice: "Drink the right kind of scotch. Eat the right kind of dark chocolate and keep away from women. That's w-i-m-m-e-n. But don't keep away from ladies!" (Turning toward his friend): "She's a lady."<br><br>

To receive: "Time. When you get to 93, time is important." He wants his lady friend to make more time to spend with him. "I like to swim and play tennis and hike and cycle," and he'd like his busy friend to have the free time to do all those with him.<br><br>
