When We Start Listening to Our Elders

Why this thought came into my mind. 

Today I took Reyan to get a haircut and before us was a son father duo, like us but the difference was that the son was taller than the father and would be in his early 20’s. 

What made me think about was that even in this age the father was instructing the barber to cut the hair of the son in a specific way and the son had another idea. 

When Reyan sat for the hair cut, it stuck me when I told the barber that he will be going to school tomorrow and cut the hair accordingly. 

Now the question is Reyan is 7 and the another boy was 20, i am in early 40’s and still do we hear to our parents. 

I don’t have my father around to scold me, hand hold me our instruct me for certain things, but when he was around how often did I listened to him and how often I followed his advice 

Now back to the topic and question in mind, when is that we listen to our elders,

1. When we get stuck 

2. When we don’t have a answer 

3. When things go out of hand 

Or do we have a heart how listen to these experienced individuals who have first hand experience which we can use to save us from making blunders. 

SORRY FOR THE LANGUAGE AND GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES , TYPED IT WHILE REYAN IS GETTING HIS HAIRCUT.
