IntergenerationalYou Are A Gift To All Generations

 You are a gift to all generations!

A dynamic 40+ career woman who is highly successful in what she does, and love her job shared the following advice with me.

When she heard about AgeEsteem her reaction was, “What a wonderful idea!  Older people need to recognize what a wonderful asset and resource they are.  They seem to shy away from younger people, yet we all need each other.”

She went on to explain, “When I first started to attend conferences, my parents told me to always seek out the oldest person.  That person was sure to know more than my peers.  So I did.  I sought out and befriended older people.  I learned so much more that way.  In fact I owe these people much of my professional success and understanding of human relations.”

So do not shy away from people of other generations.  Seek them out, speak with them and learn from them.
