The trick with elder advice is that you have to be intelligent and wise enough to understand what’s useful and what’s just wistful nostalgia. Like this meme says, some of it will just be longing for things that will not come back.

I even see the other side of this when I give advice to my 20 yo son. Some of the things I say just isn’t as important as it once was.
