From where I sit

So many people cards this week.  Many with much to say.  Will I listen?  Sometimes, but I will admit, I almost never listen to what old men have to say.  They administer and admonish from their platforms, which are not the same as mine.  Occasionally there can be good information, with their long history of experience.  Offered yes, demand no.
Now I am becoming the "old" or older and my advice and experience needs only be offered if asked.  Something for me to keep in mind.
