Why Age really doesn't Make a difference

So here we go again. A new hiring class is coming to the centre. There will be some early twenty-somethings, no doubt, along with scores of people late twenties, early 30's, may be even forties, or fifties.

These days, it is not uncommon for many people of all ages to work together. In fact, it is a reality to find that your supervisor may be younger, or even twice as young as yourself. In many work places, such as call centres or the food service industry, one may be talking to someone very much younger than yourself.

Yet, this person may have been in high school five years ago, talking, laughing and dealing with people their own ages. I am sure that the present high school aged student may be very much surprised to realize that some where down the road, they will have to sit and work with someone much older than themselves.

Another observation: this newborn baby that is arriving in the world today may soon be your coworker or supervisor some twenty years later if you happen to work in the same town and share the same passion.

Clearly, the older a person gets, the less the gap between the young and old. Consider these differences: ages one to 10, ages 10 to 20, ages 20 to 30, ages 30 to 40, ages 50 to 60, ages 70 to 80, ages 80 to 90, ages 90 to 100, and so one.

If you've noticed something about this is that a person's youth is relatively short, but a person generally has a much longer time living his/her life as an older person.

Life's this way. We need to spend all of our times savouring every moment along the road.
