do you believe this quote about age?

Wisdom doesn’t automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It’s true, some wines improve with age, but only if the grapes were good in the first place ~ Abigail Van Buren

Yes and no. Some people can actually learn a lot from experience. Others seem to keep on making the same mistakes.

I believe this 100% true, reguardless of age it’s the efforts each individual puts into learning a new skill that determines wisdom. I’ve seen 10 year olds play better guitar than a 20 year old for example

It’s hard for me to decide because I keep asking one thing. Have I ever met an old person who wasn’t wise? I can’t ever remember meeting someone that was old (lets say over 70) that wasn’t wise from the experience he had through life.
