in their 20s and 30s. I approach things from a "this is what we tried and this is why it didn't work when we tried it" approach. Most of the time it works. A few times I get flamed because immortal and highly resilient youth just doesn't believe things are going to change and that they're likely to follow me down the road to dilapidation and cynicism.

I'm not as kind as poor Jim. I am likely to say something churlish like "You'll find out, just have about 15 more birthdays" when some idiot in his or her 30s tries to nag me about going to a gym.
