Why is it that?

I understand that when people are looking for wisdom, they usually look to a person their elder. When you go out on the internet and look for quotes of wisdom or about work, relationships, and pretty much anything, you find quotes from older people which ultimately are just biblical values interpreted in "plain english". With that being said, i digress...

I am young and not looking to be listened to because of that said reason. At least not without substance to my point, statement, question, argument, etc... SO when I take the time to put together a thought to portray it to someone, I expect to have it at least taken into consideration. If you decide not to even listen to me, please don't ask my opinion at all. I am not going to proclaim myself to be some kind of know-it-all but when I have the answer, don't turn it down because I came up with it first.

"What did the young man say" - Everyone Else

I decide to sit back and play my part like a silent film from the Marx days. Perhaps having a job since I was old enough to have working papers has given me a different view and appreciation of the workplace. It seems like people who have just entered this corporate setting, especially the younger ones who may not have as much responsibility as I do, are ready to walk out the second things don't go their way (which is pretty much every other day).

So when i look up quotes for young man to an old man, i find one thing of hilarity and value...

"The world will continue to watch babies and listen to old people while the in-betweeners are shunned and put in a closet to ripen accordingly and only when the flavor seems like its reached its sweetest, will we then take a bite out of them and enjoy their nectar." -Ronald Kyle Johnson Jr.
