Some people argue that people should solve
problems based on their own experience and knowledge rather than get advice
from older people for some reasons. However, I disagree with the idea. I think
that listening from older people is better way to handle the problem rather
than just deciding on one’s experience.
First, older people have broad horizon. They
already have many experiences.
So when the problems happened, they would
know the better by quick and easy method to solve the problems.If young people just decide based on their
experience, it can cause bad result and it take longer and harder to handle problems. It
could bring a lot of damage financially and physically. When I was 20 years, I had to decide
where to go New York city for study or not. My professor told me all the good
things I could get through study abroad, so I decided to go to New York. It has been my best choice I ever had. I could broaden my horizons and gained a
deep knowledge through studying in New York city.
So I think that people should ask older
people advice and it would be very useful to make a decision
Second, listening from older people improves social ability. Social ability is really important factor required by society
recently. Those who always rely on their experience can not collaborate with
others. It can be serious problem when they are in society like school, work or
any groups. For one of my college case, he required to send one manual CD by
customers. A senior colleague of his team recommended him to report it to his
group leader. But he ignored it and sent the CD to the customers. Later he
realized that it was controlled item under company policy so he should have not
sent it without approvals from company. For these reason, I think that
listening older people is really important factor to improve their social
ability and avoid any risks
For these two reasons, I think that people should
listen to older people rather than just making a decision based on their
experiences.
