About This Quote

If you are in your twenties or thirties, you are likely to find that people often don’t know what they are talking about, especially when they are older. Don’t get too down on yourself if you realize that your older relatives and friends think they know more than you do. As you get older, you learn more about the world and how it works. You also gain the perspective to know more about what you really like and don’t like, which is what makes the world go round. So next time someone asks your opinion on something, just say, “I don’t know; I’m only here to remind people that they don’t know what they are talking about.”
