A lot of times people more experienced are so far detached from what you might be going through.
I've found people who have just gone through what I've gone through can help a ton.
Joel Gascoigne sums this up better than I.

- larrys 14y ago"A lot of times people more experienced are so far detached from what you might be going through." Some of those people may have gone through the same and can offer their opinions of how it worked out for them. Have you ever had a medical problem and asked an older person about it? They might tell you "don't worry I had that same pain and it went away, no biggie". Don't assume someone older has no experience or empathy to what someone younger is saying.
- WadeF 14y agoI wasn't. Just simply trying to provide a perspective on why someone younger might also have valid advice. Life doesn't have to be one or the other. :)
- heretohelp 14y agoPotentially interesting but irrelevant point. The post is thin whether you think old people can't relate to the special-snowflake problems of the modern startup kid or not.
