Chasing 20 Somethings

Being middle aged has benefits. You’ve been around the block a few times, made more mistakes than the guy that thinks he knows. He thinks he knows because circumstances haven’t disagreed enough. 

Being middle aged gives you cred with the 20 or 30 somethings, because they are starting to “know.” They are starting to know in their soul they need a big brother. A big brother to watch their back, encourage, and advise. 

This relationship tends to de-jade the middle aged guy. 

The careless speed, attitude, and youth inspires lightness, agility, and the bright side. It pushes back on the jade. So beware of your contemporaries. Chasing the middle aged will get you more of the same.
