Young people in college what do you think when you see an old person like me in college classes?

"the young have much time but litle wisdom. the elderly have little time but much wisdom. the young who ignore this wisdom when it is offered are foolish."

@NeloAngelo That is a pretty awesome saying.

@NeloAngelo I'll entirely agree with, [i]the young have much time but little wisdom. The elderly have little time but much wisdom.[/i] I think that's a product of life. 'The young who ignore this wisdom when it is offered are foolish." You're much younger than me, so I don't want to contradict, but as the above is a natural observation ...the young have ... the elderly have .... They never truly have a chance to converse together despite what stories/literature/movies display. My opinion, making all observations about youth/elderly somewhat astute but rarely there for when one is actually seeking wisdom. [i]It takes some wisdom to understand wisdom, it takes some youth to understand youth.[/i]

@SW-User i wholeheartedly agree. i am younger than you but that means you have much more life experience than me. anybody older sharing that experience with me, i cherish very much and chances are if i ignored them id find out later they were right all along anyway. thx :)

@NeloAngelo I'm pretty aware you have things to teach me too. :) Thanks. Likely when I was your age, if I wrote/or quoted something like you did, I would have run scared if someone older replied. Yes, the internet existed when I was your age. That was just me then, though. I was shy. I'm not that old now, but one thing I like to observe is slight changes in thought/attitude, and if anything you display what I couldn't have at between 18-21. So you're right too :)
