Spending almost a full day in the car with a 70-year-old woman could be boring. However, for a 15-year-old girl, it was a great memory for many reasons. During the trip, we discussed anything we had wondered about in life. And I learned a lot I had never expected to.
I learned that we shouldn't take ourselves seriously and that not everyone has to get "old and boring". She is probably one of the coolest, funniest and most down-to-earth people I've ever met. In boring moments (时刻)), she never fails to tell one of her famous jokes. But when you need a shoulder to cry on, she is there to comfort you. She taught me that "Laughter is the best medicine",
She never brings her phone, and she is okay with it. That hasn't stopped her from shopping and talking with her family online. She doesn't take pictures of everything she sees.
From now on, I plan on accepting the fact that I don't need to stay connected with social media (社交媒体)all the time. Even though I don't use a mobile phone, I can also be better at communicating with people.
There are so many things you can learn from someone older and wiser than you. You don't need to ask for advice, just slow down and enjoy the conversation. You'll be surprised at how amazing it is.
