Many people say that older people understand life better, because during their life they have went through many obstacles. In addition to this, they have much more experience than young people. Honestly, I do agree with this opinion, because from my personal experience I can tell that older people do understand life better in some aspects.
Older people have much more experience than young people do, moreover, they are better in different things and often share their knowledge with the growing generation. For example, life is really similar to a business, because when people start their first business they lack experience and often fail, despite when people already had a business and they start a new one they have higher chances of success. Life works in a similar way, in order to achieve success person will have to go through challenges. Furthermore, older people often have better skills when it comes to basic things, as the life now is much easier than it used to be before.
Truthfully, most young people are really energetic, they have motivation as well as ambition to do things, besides this they need more experience to reach success. Sometimes, people fail and instead of trying once again they quit, but people learn from mistakes they make. If we compare with older people, young people are at the beginning of their path.
To finalize this, I can say that as person gets older he gains more experience and knowledge about life. In my opinion if we compare between young and old people, old people would have a better understanding of life, due to the experience they have.
