When it comes to the discussion that whether the advice given by older people is more valuable than that from the peers or not, the vast majority of people believe that individuals, especially the teens, should take older people's suggestions because seniors have rich experience and take all-rounded consideration. However, until recently a fresh idea about valuing the advice from peers is regarded as prevalent and righteous since this sort of people have a better understanding of the current world, which is changing constantly and quickly. Confronted with the contradictory, I prefer the latter opinion that advice from people your age is more worthwhile. It is widely accepted that people at your age have open minds when compared to older people. They are so enthusiastic and eager to know about what is happening in the world that they absorb the latest information and put forward the most initiative ideas. As a modern people living in a changing environment, nothing is more valuable than the creative and critical thinking to tackle with the complicated and updated problems. Apparently, listening to your workmates and friends may be a resource to enlighten you and bring you inspiration. A good example of this can be best provided by Mark Zuckerberg, the initiator of Facebook, illuminated by his roommates to establish a communication platform for college students in Harvard within the campus, developing into the biggest web site aiming for social intercourse. On the contrary, pathetically many Chinese students, who always listen to seniors, obey to the lessons and never ever break the rules, ultimately follow the stereotype routine. Perhaps that is the reason why innovation is so hard to achieve in China. Studies in a Chinese research have shown that the obedience to senior's instruction brings about a series of problems. It seems quite incredible that a surging number of teenagers couldn't get accustomed to the changing environment, what's worse, some of them are even unable to make choice on their own, in other words, they have to ask their parents for advice owing to the lack of independence. So why does it happen? Based on a survey, a majority of teenagers do everything their parents ask them to do and treat their parents' words as eternal truth. Nevertheless, the brutal truth is that nobody can be always right, not speaking of some out-dated parents who stay at home and are ignorant of what's happening outside the world. What shall we say, for example, so arrogant are some parents that they always argue that they are right and impose their thinking on the children. Sometimes children are subject to the wrong ideas unconsciously and they have no idea what they are going to do if things change just because they get used to execute the order from their parents. Admittedly, listening to the advice from seniors has its undeniable merits. Yet it is too weak to support the objection to the value of advice from peers. There is no doubt that the advantage derived from peers' advice far outweigh the benefits we gain from seniors' one. Despite some minor drawbacks, absorbing the opinions from peers, in contrast of ones from elders, is instrumental rather than detrimental to the one's career and life. With the inspiration of it, we have the promise both of creative thinking and marvelous breakthrough. It consequently will not fail to be wiser and safer choice and more often than not, we should take advice as broadly as we can, not merely from our friends but also our rivals. |
