Our peers usually have a great influence on our lives. However, when it comes to learning valuable lessons about life, we learn much more from older people than our peers.
Unlike our peers, older people have a better understanding of life. 36 . So we can learn more from their seasoned knowledge. Many of my friends spend little time on their lessons and they just use their time to have fun. However, my uncle has taught me that if I focus on studying instead of playing all the time, my life will be more fulfilling(有成就的)later on. 37 .
Also, older people can point us in the right direction and away from the mistakes they have already made. If we simply follow our peers, we will often run into similar problems. 38 . My brother tried out for the football team last year and did not make it. Many of his peers told him to give up on the sport forever. But my father helped him realize that giving up was not the answer. Then my brother practiced harder. 39 . In the end, older people can help us make the right decisions when we are in difficulties.
