At 19, I thought I knew it all. Admitting I was confused, nervous and fearful didn't cross my mind, nor did confirming inabilities. Just like a vintage bottle of wine, I have greatly improved with age! Gone is the over-confidence and ridiculous sense of entitlement that defined my youth. Somewhere on the journey from bright-eyed to now, I realized learning is a process and involves small steps. When I began dating, it's certain anyone watching would have laughed themselves silly from seeing my incompetence. Luckily, with some practice, I've moved off the comedy shelves and improved enough to appear competent at best, mildly amusing at worst. I noticed a similar pattern emerge with wine.

Younger people have tended to look towards the elderly for wisdom and guidance since the beginning of recorded history and beyond. Students to teachers, children to parents, ordinary people to royalty and politicians – generally those who have lived longer are not only believed, but expected to have garnered more knowledge in their longer lives.
