I Don't Believe Age Has Anything To Do With Intelligence

Don't you just love those people that look down at you because they are like 40 years older then you and act like they are more experience and know more then you? Yet when it comes down to actually knowing something in this generation they are as clueless as a rock ( actually that's offensive to rocks ).

I had these ladies earlier today arguing with me and one actually stated "you are young and have much to learn" and her age range was 56-60 then question my intellectual ability in knowing what is wrong and what is right. I am sitting here like really so because you're older then me you know more then me?

Sorry to say but the younger people such as myself in this generation and even younger will always know more. As days go by new things are being made, new problems arising and when your 56-60 are you still even bothering to learn what the new things are?

You may be experienced in Ancient Relic from 40 years before i was born sure but as far as current century i can be just as smart and experience as anyone that is 40 years older then me. Your age does not mean you know more or know less then i do and it also does not mean you are more or less experience then i am.

That's my opinion and so far when i have said that to people irl that is the mature way to look at things. You can be smart in something and be dumb in other things but please don't sit there and act like because you are older then i am that you know more then i do.

Let's not forget maturity this is also one of the main things older people say a lot as well. Sorry to say but age does not prove maturity if you still believe that in this century, please go crawl back under a rock. When you point out "you have not matured enough to know" yet stating that you are much more mature then i am does not mean your mature at all. Would a mature person argue with a person that you think is immature?. But hey people have their own definition of Maturity just so they can feel a little right about themselves.

These ladies can see me however they want while they are here insulting my intelligence or maturity. I am done with high school drama, stuck to the rules till i finished. Now i am in a Uni on my 3rd year got my MBA during the 2nd year, Make 6 figures, I am healthy,fit, travel the world in learning new things about every culture as well as exploring other uncharted waters and Guess what i am turning 21 this year. I can admit to be wrong about something but some people just can't admit possibly because of their pride.

As is why i am open to everything and i will not sit here and assume how smart or mature you are just because you are younger or older then i am.

i guess i can't say the same for these people as it seems like they are still stuck in the century where they think because they are 40+ years older then i am they know more then i do.
