Answer:
Be careful about taking advice from people of any age. Always think of advice as something that you can accept, reject or modify to fit your situation.
If the older person happens to have made a lot of mistakes, and we've certainly had time to do that, and they've learned from the mistakes, they can help you to avoid the worst of these. Not every elderly person has taken the risks that can lead to good advice. Don't assume you're getting wisdom simply because the person offering advice is older. In fact I've noticed that a lot of people of any age keep making the same mistakes over and over again. You're not likely to get good advice from someone like that.
As a teacher in a school where teachers were assigned "advisees," I was expected to offer these students advice on a regular basis. As a result, I regularly spent time wondering if I knew what I was talking about. It seems unlikely that all of the advice I offered was worth taking, and I became more careful about what I would offer. But I also had more opportunity than most people do to observe whether or not my advice was taken and what effect it had. A general outcome was that my advising worked best when I could connect with students at a personal level, when it was consistent with what I'd learned from experience, when it related to research on learning and development and when it was reworked by the student to fit his or her situation.
After giving advice, I often said that if you accept advice uncritically, you will often end up making other people's mistakes.
