Anything that the young can teach the senior ?

It has been a common arguement that young people have few things valuable to teach their elders, while personally I see it from a different position. One of the advantages of being young is have a different perspective on life than one's seniors. Youth have not been influenced by nearly as many people as an old person, their thoughts and ideas are more their own. A senior can learn from these new ideas, and once again, see the world with the freshness and fascination of a young person. Also, young people tend to embark on all of their projects with a kind of intensity and perseverance. This quality can sometimes be lost as one gets older. After spending time with a young person, an old person tends to gain back some of this vitality. For example, I have seen many who did not live their lives to the fullest. However, with the addition of a grandson or granddaughter, they regained much of their youthfulness.
