"Don't undervalue what people can do just because of their age. And that goes for people who are older or younger than what you perceive as norm. We should be more interested in great minds and solutions than the age of the people who are bringing those to the table"- Matt Smith freshmen at Georgia Tech and founder of two start-ups
Life rarely comes in neat little packages. At times what seems one way often turns out differently. The pretty girl/guy which catches your eye often turns out to be lacking in many areas. The "seasoned" lady/gentlemen that is not so pretty but yet has a twinkle in her/his eye that you find attractive.
It is our nature to judge. It often starts with the visual and then when we connect the audio we form an opinion. But as the young guy above cautions us the greatness of a mind is not dependent on the age of the person.
There needs to be a delay in our judging. Listen to the idea without prejudice and then make your decision.
Today's question is:
"Are you able to introduce the delay in your judging process?"
