Are we learning from the elderly? Should we?

At a recent speaking event, I had the chance to learn something important from a segment of our elderly population, and I almost blew it.

Too many times, we push the elderly aside. All too often, our impatience in life, makes them feel unwanted.

Watch this short video to see what I mean.

Are you the same as me? If so, slow down. When I asked the weekly men's group that I lead to go out for one week and interact with our elder population, the stories they returned with were heartwarming.

Let's reach out and learn from the many seniors who have so much still to teach us.
