Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

Be quiet and learnMy Grandfather once told me: "Learn from the mistakes of others, because you won't get old enough to make all the mistakes yourself." He was 94 by then. I now choose my friends by the fact from who i can learn the most...
At another occasion he told me young folks didn't have usefull things to say, so i had better listen instead of speaking until i was 21. To be honest, i still don't have much usefull things to say, even though i surpassed this age already.
