They may not know everything, but they have been here longer so I'm sure for the most part they know more. They have most likely done that thing they are telling you not to do and it didn't work out to well for them. Or they have seen it done by someone else. Either way they have had life experience that you haven't. Insight that you can't have at your younger age. Now, this is not to say they always know best or that you should blindly listen to everything they say and never have learning experiences for yourself. But don't think that just because they say it that it must be wrong. They will undoubtably be able to teach you a few things your life will be the better for.
I started this because I visited my grandfather tonight and he is my last living grandparent. If your lucky enough to still have any grandparents left take the time to really listen to them. You never know what you'll learn. Or at the very least it will show them how much you really love them. He is an amazing man who has had an amazing life. I am just lucky when he share his life stories with me.
