There
has been an argument regarding the issue whether getting advice from older
adults is better than getting advice from peers. Some people maintain that it
would be better to hear from the friends for, it has more advantages. However,
from my perspective, having advice from adults is more beneficial. In this
essay, I will present two reasons to support my idea.
To
begin with, people can receive more specific and efficient advices. By and
large, all the adults have experienced. So they know the best way such as how
to live happily, how to avoid the problems or how to overcome. Following anecdote
strongly supports the idea. When my father started to manage his own business,
he always asked to other businessmen who have already experienced. There were
lots of friends around him but he did not listen to them but only experienced
people because he thought that listening from friends is like wasting time. As a
result, he became a successful man. Therefore, listen the advice from older
people have more advantages.
On
the top of that, peers cannot give the exact advices. In general, all of people
are living in the competition world. It means that surviving in this world,
they have to win and conquer other. Therefore, friends do not want to give any
information which is beneficial to them. Accordingly, people may receive error
helps or information. For example, my aunt works for Samsung which is the
biggest company in Korea. When she prepared to go Africa for working, she asked
to her closest company to help her. However, her friends did not tell to her to
bring the yellow card which is the certification of her health. Subsequently,
after arriving the Africa, she had to return back to Korea due to the yellow
card. Hence, people cannot receive correct information from companies.
In
a nut shell, my contention is that it is more helpful to get advices from adult
than peers. This is because they can have exact and efficient advice from elder
and peers might give different information. In this regard, I strongly maintain
again that advice from older in more helpful.
