What have you learned from an elderly someone? What wisdom has been passed on to you?

I have learned alot from elderly people especially from my Grandparents. My Grandparents are chock full of stories from when they were little, and they have experienced so much because they were all born between 1930 and 1933 so they were just growing up during the Depression and World War Two. However most of the things that I learned from my grandparents were just stories and experiences that they have had, rather than words of wisdom. The wisdom that I have learned from elderly people is to always appreciate what you have and never take anything for granted.
