Listen to Your Elders


Seniors have a lot to say---some good and some not so good. Age does not necessarily bring wisdom, but we seem to think it does. We're always ready to offer advice when asked and try not to give opinions unless they're solicited. Life experience is a wonderful education, one that we're willing to share with the youngsters, although they usually need to go through their own school of hard knocks to learn their own lessons. It's too bad we aren't born with blueprints in our hands, so we don't have to make so many mistakes. Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way, but if you kids would listen to your elders, you might avoid some of the pitfalls. There are times that we do know what we're talking about!

Just pass out your knowledge as the spirit moves you, they will realise after a time that you do know what you are on about and will listen the next time, they will still ignore you but the third time you win.
