▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that it is better choice
to get advice from peer, while others think that getting advice from older
people is better. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their views.
If I answer the question, I would say that older people’ saying is the best
advice. There are two reasons as follows.
First of all, the world has changing over
time. In the past, there were most people who wanted to succeed together.
However, as the world became dog-eat-dog world, people have begun to have extreme
thoughts. Time is gold for people, and thus, they only invest in time for their
success thinking of others as rivals. For example, when I was a high school
student, I had a very selfish friend. She never helped others and only
concentrated on own studying. As a result, many friends, including me, were
hurt by her behavior. At one time, I asked her for help, but she refuted my
asking. Eventually I could not get advice from her, but she entered The Seoul University,
the best university in Korea. It indicates that nowadays a competition is being
severe, and thus, it is difficult to get advice from friends.
Second, older people have more experience
in life, which means that their decision is very helpful. People experience
many things as they get older. Life is about making choices, so older people’
advice gives our something to think about while standing at a crossroad. Especially,
in academic performance, a senior’s advice is the best realistic advice. For example,
a many research centers, including Singapore Research Center, analyzed a data
from two groups of college students. One groups consisted of those who
considered their aptitudes and seniors’ advice when they decided their jobs,
and second group was made up of those who did not considered older people’
advice. Researchers found that the former was more likely to have high level of
employment satisfaction, on the other hand, the later was more likely to have
low level of satisfaction. Without getting advice from older people, one would
not have been able to satisfy their jobs.
All things considered, the advantages of
asking older people a favor far outweigh those of earning advice from peer for
the reasons I have mentioned above. All in all, the importance of getting help
from elder cannot be overestimated in life.
