Have you ever had to lecture a 40-year-old when you're only in your 20s? 👈🏼

When a person in their 20s, in turn, teaches someone in their 40s ——
What does age really represent?
Age does not determine a person's ability 👈🏼
Today, someone who was earning money with me,
wasted an hour of my time, repeating explanations.
He’s in his 40s.
Mainly because he manages money poorly, has bad work habits,
and keeps bothering me to help him earn more.
He earns much less than me, but his expenses are high,
completely unaware of risk management, and has a "gambling dog" mentality.
Of course, there are many other issues,
such as lack of preparation before doing things.
I saw his problems a long time ago,
told him several times before anything went wrong,
that his financial management was flawed, his expenses too high,
but he didn’t listen, so I stopped caring.
When something went wrong, several times I had to help him do more things.
Finally, I told him,
“There’s no reason for someone much younger than me,
to turn around and tell me these things.”
If you’ve read my previous post,
I just started working, and even part-time, I was already a department leader.
Later, others worked with me.
Over the years,
I’ve also tried many times to lecture people older than me.
Many times, society decides based on a person’s age,
who should listen to whom, who has more experience and insight.
That’s wrong.
Many taxi drivers, cafeteria aunties,
do you think they are highly skilled?
Maybe they don’t even understand respect,
like many taxi drivers in Hong Kong,
who often curse people randomly.
Even teachers are like that.
Since I was young, I wouldn’t listen to teachers,
only listen if I thought it was reasonable.
Because my logic is,
if they were really capable, they’d be people like Elon Musk, etc., not teachers.
How many teachers genuinely want to teach?
Many times, it’s just the best job within their ability.
It’s also about teaching you to be a social slave, not about helping you achieve financial freedom.
So, this was also something I believed needed change in social policy when I was young,
namely, significantly increasing teachers’ salaries,
to attract better talent.
But later, I dismissed that idea,
because the elite class wants teachers to educate the masses to become slaves.
Then I understood.
This was also the most infuriating thing for me in my early 20s.
Many older than me,
would take a superior attitude,
or show disrespect in cooperation.
Of course, I wouldn’t work with those people in the end.
What does a person’s age really represent? 👈🏼
If broken down carefully,
it represents that with age,
the body ages + social experience increases.
So how to cross the age barrier?
Besides physical functions that can’t be controlled,
social experience is something each person controls with their time.
A woman who becomes a mother at 18,
by 26, with two children,
will be more mature in parenting experience
than someone who only became a mother at 29.
So if others sleep 8 hours, work 8 hours, and entertain 8 hours daily;
while I study/work 16 hours and sleep 8 hours,
at over 20 years old,
am I not in social experience equivalent to a 40-year-old?
That’s social class progression.
I’ve never believed
that age is a limit for a person.
I also let those who work with me,
40s, 50s,
believe in my abilities, my speech, and cooperate with me.
In recent years, I’ve seen many in their 30s and 40s,
whose ways of doing things aren’t really that good,
and many are just people I have to guide.
Age only determines your physical aging, it shouldn’t define your ceiling.
If you’ve ever been doubted or looked down on because of your age,
remember:
Your upper limit is only what you decide.
Don’t wait for time to fulfill you.
Use two or three times your effort,
to regain your voice. 🔥
