Used to work at a Popeyes as a teen and most of my coworkers were immigrants, some legal and others not. It was crazy to see the difference in priorities and just general life direction. I was working to get some extra spending money for games or clothes. While they were working to support their entire lives.

Did her husband divorce her because she played too much World of Warcraft?

Children are often great at bringing adults back into a mindset that refocuses us on what's really important. Children often haven't been fully injured or corrupted by life, so their view on things is refreshing and nourishing to many adults. We were all kids once. All loving and full of hope. Its good to reflect.

Age doesn't limit insight. A 15-year-old may offer fresh perspectives and wisdom that are valuable, regardless of their youth. Wisdom comes from the ability to listen and empathize, not just experience

It's all good. I feel comfortable owning that label in this regard.

Bad decisions lead to experience, experience leads to good decisions. Good decisions lead to good experience. Good experience leads to wisdom. It's a process that takes time. Just having an insight doesn't equal experience. I bastardized a famous quote here.
by CabinetPractical81411 month ago
I think you need a "can lead to" in all of these statements
by Anonymous1 month ago
Rather "hopefully leads to"
by CabinetPractical81411 month ago
Yeah this "truism" really ignores hard data regarding cyclical violence and repeat offenders.
by Anonymous1 month ago
While you are right about what you said the reverse is never true, it only works one direction. You don't also see the words good experience- that means it's not the maladaptive type of stuff it's the healthy kind.
by CabinetPractical81411 month ago
Bad decisions lead to experience, experience leads to good decisions. Good decisions lead to good experience. Good experience leads to wisdom. Exactly. Take that prompt, and apply this cycle to every lesson you learn - relatively seperately. There's parts one could be wise in, and act prematurely at other parts of life. So I really see it as that quote, perhaps to the power of ten, to reach a level I would consider me wise.

And everyone has different experiences, what someone experienced in 15 years of life can differ dramatically from your 35

Yeah I'm gonna take life advice from a 15 year old who can barely handle high school lol
by Anonymous1 month ago
Lmao, some high schoolers are working jobs, sports, taking college classes, and managing a 4.0. To act like some high schoolers aren't more mature than some 30 year olds is crazy.

The "some" that you referenced is cherry picking

If you agree it's possible one 15 year old can offer insight to one 30 year old, you agree with me.

It depends on what the advice is, I don't need a 15 year old explaining corporate jobs to me

And yet they still don't have responsibilities like adults do such as affording a place to live and raising a family or working on a marriage. There is no comparison.
by CollegeCompetitive1 month ago
You underestimate how many kids are working and helping pay for rent and food.
by Anonymous1 month ago
That's still not the same as shouldering the responsibility. I am also thinking of middle class kids and not lower class in inner cities or trailer parks or the third world.
by CollegeCompetitive1 month ago
Well we weren't just talking about wealthy kids. The point is some kids can offer insight to some older people. If you disagree with that idk what to tell you.
by Anonymous1 month ago
I tend to believe the kids who are offering life advice are chronically online and do it for attention and feelings and because young people think they know it all. Middle class is not wealthy but a lot of those kids have few responsibilities and too much extra time.
by CollegeCompetitive1 month ago
So do you think it's possible a 15 year old can give a 35 year old valuable life advice?
by Anonymous1 month ago
I think they can give expertise but not life advice. Expertise would be if they are a coding wizard or physics genius or something of that nature whereas life advice wouldn't be based off of experience, like a guy who has only read about sales trying to give advice to a guy who's done sales for years. Is it possible they will say something good? Maybe but it's very slim.

Amen

Is wisdom not also learning from the mistakes of others?
Good advice is good advice. A 5 year old can tell you to be nice and that's good advice.

Yeah. My 4 year old is always calling me out. "You said we can't call people stupid, why did you call that person stupid?"

I've taught my mom (used a computer in her work place for 20 years straight) how wifi, Google accounts and 2 factor verification work way too many times to have even a hint of doubt for this.
by StockNectarine4 weeks ago
I actually did give my bio mom life advice I still stand by over a decade later when I was a teenager: your insistence on completely changing industries every time you quit or are fired from a job is preventing you from building up a decent resume, and is the main reason you're still working entry-level jobs in your forties. She didn't listen, and is still working entry-level jobs now, but I stand by the fact that it was good advice! I'm 27 and further along in my career than she is in her fifties.

We just hired a 21 year old at my work. I'm 36. He was constantly giving me advice and telling me the best way to do things when he had absolutely no clue what he was talking about in almost any regard. In fact, I was baffled that my boss hired him. We work in the medical field. This guy smelled terrible every single day even after we sat him down and told him he needed to clean himself and his clothes, he only cares about playing fortnight, he cheats on his "wife" whom he has a kid with, and said "why would you want to visit a beautiful place when you can just google pictures of it." He was also on his phone 24/7. I literally couldn't get him to look up when I was trying to explain concepts to him. There are many, many more stupid things that he did in just a few days. It honestly made me legit worried about the younger generation. Needless to say he doesn't work here any more.

Sometimes a different prospective can be helpful. We get jaded and sometimes pessimistic as we get older. A little youthful energy and hopefulness can be an antidote to that.

My father, a priest in Minnesota, said kids from seminary back East who had never been in a relationship or worked a job would counsel grown ass adults with grown up problems in Duluth. So, yeah.

A 15yo is telling 35yo to buy bitcoin. Because old guys lose the flexibility of foresight, by thinking they already know best.
