With Experience and Knowledge Comes…
I read somewhere that your brain is the most intelligent, or maximized, at 25 yo. Although I don’t know if this is true or not, I will say that even if it were, at 25 you simply don’t have the knowledge that is acquired through experience in life. With experience and knowledge comes Wisdom.
I would rather listen to a truly wise person than a young, intelligent yet inexperienced person. There are just some things you can’t understand without going through it and then allowing time to give you the knowledge, and perspective, you need to truly grow from those experiences.
