I could chime in here, as I will be 40 this year and have REALLY noticed some changes, mindset wise. One of things I have found is that I never really listened to my elders. 10 years ago, I would have said "I don't get them and they don't get me, so I don't really need to listen". Now, I am thinking, holy crap! I better listen up because I don't know an F'n thing unless they tell me what is on the road ahead. So basically, it is the same concept as Fugly, look at your future (elders ARE your future, like it or not!), see what their successes and failures were, then prepare yourself for it!
