Somebody think that younger individual is more likely less experienced than those older person,that when younger one tend to give an opinion or advise they think they are not worth to follow or just nothing.In my point of view its not about age,its about how people understand things and situation,younger person sometimes seems to be more open minded than older one or understanding way is broad than others.SO i don't think its fair not to value the opinion younger one. How about you guys ? Will you be able to listen or sometimes follow an advice or opinion from a person younger than you? Happy Lotting and God bless!

THUMBS UP THERE... it doesn't necessarily means that if you are older, you have the right to give advice to someone younger than you... It is always depending on the situation, remember that this younger person may know something about this matter that you lack knowledge of and and it is better to listen to him. God bless.

i believe on a thought all of us have a different interpretation and approach on whats happening in our lives so listening on the advice of the younger one is not bad, maybe a young person might have a good interpretation of what he/she experienced in life.. its not a matter of age in giving or seeking for an advice but also a matter of respect of everyone perpective

Why not? I may be more senior in age or position, but that doesn't automatically make me wiser or more resourceful. Sometimes, I may find myself so deeply mired in a situation that I am unable to see the bigger picture. So, any kind of advice is welcomed, be it from a junior, peer, or senior.

Tottaly agree with you, age doesn't matter it depends of certain people, many young people are more intelligent, realistic and wise than old people even if they have less experiences...

I totally agree with you, I think that age doesn't have anything to do with wisdom, older people can have more experience, but the question is if they learned from their experiences, that is the real key to the issues. Some young people are extremely mature and have lived experiences that have made them learned and have made the grow in better persons. Some old people, and I know many of them, have lived a lot of things but they keep making the same mistakes because they haven't learned.

I'll surely listen to the advice, it may be good. And if it's worth it, may follow too. But honestly, I don't feel at ease all this while. Some prejudice maybe... Recent studies say people get wiser with age. So better to say both age groups have their domain. So have your options.

Hi cloudie! It doesn't matter if the one who is giving advice is older or younger than you. Every advices should be considered. First you have to analyze first his/her advice, if you find it beneficial, then why not follow it. Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

I think we are all unique because of our life experiences. Just because someone is younger than me doesn't mean they know less about a particular topic! My Taekwondo instructor is younger than my kids! But she is teaching me something I don't know (yet)! I would listen to a person younger or older then sort through it for myself!

I have learned a long time ago, a lot of advice from younger people are very good advice. You should always be openminded as everyone see something in a different perspective. No matter the age, good advice are always welcome. TATA.

I don't think age is important.it is the advise itself that matters. If the advice s/he gives is good and convincing, I 'd take it, no matter who gives the advise.

If it comes to advices, I have seen advices from younger people is just like a twit! It is always very brief, to-the-point, and directive! You may go with it or not! But that's what they are. They will just tell you what they would do in that situations. If you would ask for advice from a senior, he would definitely explain the situation more elaborately and then he will offer you multiple options... just a confusion-pack! For advices, or decisions - I would definitely follow younger persons. I do follow their suggestions.

I would most def take the advice of somebody younger than myself. Just because somebody is younger, doesn't mean that they don't know what they are talking about, or that they don't have experience in the issue you need advice on.

I agree, some younger person are more open minded this days. Their eyes are awake and see things as transparent now. I have only two people which is my friends who are younger than me. I asked for their opinion when I have something to query about, but it doesn’t mean I will do what they had said. However, if I know they have experienced something and I will have to do it, I follow what they says if that will make it easier for me to solve a problem. Like in transaction of passport, since one of my younger friend already went to Japan, she knows what passport is and what its use, so I asked her about it. But when it comes to personal problems, I still share it with them, but the decision is still on me because this is my life and I know I have more experienced when it comes to life compare to them. Its okay for me to follow an advice of a younger person as long as they had experienced so many things in life.

age really doesn't matter but the right of the person to give advice does: is that young person in the right path of life? one shouldn't just listen to advice. old people sound experienced but sometimes that's all they amount to. just sounding experienced. we're all on the same level when it comes to deserving respect. choose the person you would listen to.
