Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Does advice given by older people more valuable than from people at your age?
Nowadays people have to face a lot of stress and obstacle from the society. An increasing number of people who need help or advice from others feel very nervous for which one should they to take. So the issue that whose advice, the older people or the younger one, should we to follow has attracted widespread attention. Different part of people has different point of view on it. I figure that the older people's advice which can be more experienced is deserved us to think carefully for following reasons.
First of all, the older people have experience the things that we have not faced before, so we should follow their advice to avoid some adventure. For example, when we were child, our parents told us do not touch anything that is hot. Such advice is a way they want to protect us from potential danger. This theory can be put into a similar situation on the thing that happened in 2008, the economic crisis. Some economist who experienced the Asian economic crisis have the foresight of this situation, And they know how to deal with things in such depression. Therefore, follow the advice they give can lead us to get out of the crisis as soon as possible.
In addition, older people may have more patient than the younger ones. They may have enough time to give us a more valuable advice compared with the people at my age in the affluent society. Such as CEO in a company or cooperation, they may employ some older people who have retired, with a lot of "workless" time, as consulter to give some advice before they make a decision. As a result, their companies run faster than those who have not such group of consulters who have enough time to think all the things carefully.
Even though the older people have so much terrific characters, the people at our age also have their advantages. Getting more information every day, for example, with the highly developed network system, is a priceless predominance. Because their can analysis things with a lot of information they get from variety ways, they can give us a advice for all the situation we have face.
Taking all above mentioned into consideration, I still consist my point of view that older people can give us more valuable advice than people at our age. Because I believe that sometimes the experience is more useful than knowledge as I once experienced before.
