With age comes wisdom. Every year that you live, you experience new things. This experience brings knowledge and knowledge is power. Instead of trying to lord your limited knowledge and experience over others, you should take the time to understand other people's perspective. We all learn by listening, not speaking. While you may think you know everything, I assure you that you don't. Only God has that privilege. We can all learn and grow from each other if we all take the time to listen to each other. Five years from now, you will look back and say, "Wow, how could I have been that ignorant!" Take this as truth from one who knows. When you think you know it all, you lose your ability to grow and the world will soon pass you by. Don't allow this to happen. In this life, ego is your greatest enemy. One who walks the path of life with humility as their constant companion will surely reap the benefits of an ever expanding base of knowledge. This can be you if you put your ego on the shelf and open your mind to new and exciting truths.
