First of all, you are a very talented writer 😊

i like this proverb actully, and it was easy to guess what it describes.

in my culture we have a same meaning for this proverb, which i can translate it to " a one day older person have knowledge and experience like one year more than you"

keep up the good job 🌸

Wow, that's another good one. I'm starting to link similar proverbs from different sources. For instance, a similar proverb from Nigeria states that "What an elder sees while sitting, a child cannot see from the tallest tree." Sometimes, "the tallest tree" is replaced with "the tallest mountain." What culture/country/location can I credit for the one you suggested?
