yes of cuz u point out something which is true. some ppl will b mature when they get older but some ppl still staying in his/her own world. anyway there's a quote in chinese, elder ppl eat salt more than u eat rice. means tat older ppl hv more experience than younger ppl. v cant deny on the statement but of cuz oso depends on the ppl whether they learn from the past.
i have to agree more with temptations lo, u know quotes in chinese can be used only when the situation is right...not everytime its right u see...
yes ppl often say elder ppl eat salt more then u eat rice, but doesn't mean eat more salt is always better....
we all live in different environment and grow under different circumstances....so you cant generalize everyone for the same situation...
let me say for eg:
i have an elder brother and he's 2 years elder then me, all this while my father pamper him like hell and he gets whatever he wants...my dad bought him a car, gives him good allowance, and good college to go to....almost anything he want also can get,and me? i've been workign since i'm 15 yo, and work my ass out to get me through college, i needed to buy my own car if i wanted to drive which i did when i was 18yo and have been living hell since then........tell me in this, how can he be more matured and experienced then me?yes he did eat more salt then i eat rice since i was born 2 years later, but i dont see he's anymore mature then me?
so i dont find it fancy with any 29 or 3x or 4x years old people who said they are more experience then us....yes maybe in a way, but they are not necessary right.....if someone elder then bill gates told him that IT kenot work laa...and he listen, you wont even have microsoft today.... so we all live in different era...your parents era is old school jor....but i didn't say u must deny watever they say laa... just evaluate wats right and wats wrong...
