The older someone is the more valuable their advice is
Introduction
You might think that the older someone is the less useful their advice is, but this isn't true. It's true that you would have made mistakes along the way and these are just learning curves that have not had ideal outcomes. However, if you can learn from other people's mistakes then it could be as useful as information about what works for them in certain situations. Don't turn your back on your elders
The older someone is the more valuable their advice is, there is no substitute for experience and the longer the length of time that you have walked this planet, the greater amount of situations you have had to deal with.
Experience is the best teacher. The older you are, the more you have learned and thus have a greater amount of experience. There is no substitute for age or experience.
The older you get, the more mistakes you make which all add up to your level of knowledge. You cannot learn anything if you don’t make mistakes so why not make them now? Mistakes will only give us wisdom and knowledge in time which we can use later on in our lives. When someone is younger and inexperienced they tend to listen more because they feel like they should be listening because it is true that there are many things out there that they do not understand yet but as an older person myself I say “screw that noise”! If something doesn't make sense now then just wait until later when everything comes together and makes sense then share those experiences with someone else who needs help; this way everyone wins!
Yes you would have made mistakes, but these are just learning curves that have not had the ideal outcome.

Experiencing life and making mistakes is part of the journey to wisdom.
Mistakes can be avoided by learning from them, but this only works if you make yours consciously instead of having them happen accidentally.
Warning people of what doesn't work can also be as useful as information about what does.

Don't turn your back on your elders
Don't dismiss your elders. I know it's tempting to think that the older you get, the less likely it is that you'll learn from anyone else. But this couldn't be further from the truth—especially when it comes to life advice.
While there's no denying that each person's journey is utterly unique and should never be copied exactly, there are still certain truths about life that remain constant throughout each of our lives. For example: if someone who has lived twice as long as you tells you that they've learned something valuable over those years, don't turn your back on them! Even if they come across as boring or nonsensical at first glance (which they might) remember that everyone has their own stories and those can teach us more than anything else in this world.
Take my grandfather for example; he was born in 1910, which means he witnessed many things throughout his lifetime including both World Wars and countless technological advances like television and computers (I bet he wouldn't recognize either one). Despite all these changes though—he still believes that “the only thing worth doing in life is enjoying yourself," which sounds like something out of a children's book but turns out actually makes sense when put into practice! To this day I'm convinced myself whenever I feel stressed out or overwhelmed by work or school obligations - just remember what grandpa taught me: relax!
Conclusion
I know that it can be hard to turn your back on someone who has given you so much knowledge and experience, but the truth is it's time to do just that. You have a lot of life left ahead of you and with every year that passes by this number will only increase so don't waste those years listening to old people who think they know everything when really they don't even know themselves anymore!
