Imagine that a young person asks you for advice in an area where you have a lot of experience. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

I will tell him that experiences are invaluable, but he has to gain them on his own. I will share my experience with him and also add a story that may inspire him. I will ask him what he already knows about it so that I can adjust to his level. I will recommend a good book or source for him to enhance his knowledge. I wonder if it is even important – the world is changing and maybe my experiences are no longer relevant.

How do you feel when the younger generation does things completely differently than you are used to?

Select an answer:

I am curious and trying to understand their perspective. Sometimes it surprises me, but if it works, I don't resist changes. I feel that some traditional values are disappearing. I see it as an opportunity for me to learn something new as well. I don't understand their approach, but if it doesn't concern me, I don't deal with it.

If you could give just one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be?

Select an answer:

Don't be afraid to make mistakes; they are the best teachers. Always make time for the people who matter to you. Learn to listen more than to speak. Stay true to your values, even when the world around you is changing. Life is not just about work, but also about how you enjoy it.

How would you envision the ideal way to share your experiences with others?

Select an answer:

In the form of storytelling from life that has a moral lesson. Practical tips and specific examples that can be used right away. By supporting the independent exploration and thinking of the younger generation. I leave it to the young to ask questions, and I only respond when they are interested. I'm not sure if anyone is even interested in my experiences.

If someone asks you a question about a topic you don't know much about, how do you respond?

Select an answer:

I admit that I don't know, but I would be happy to talk about it. I will say that it used to be different, but maybe they can explain to me how it is today. I will reflect and try to answer based on similar experiences. I will recommend someone who understands it better. I'll try to steer the conversation towards something I feel more confident about.

What is your attitude when someone recommends a new technology that could make your life easier?

Select an answer:

I am curious and I would like to try it out. I'll give it a try, but if it doesn't suit me, I'll stick to my old methods. Sometimes it makes me anxious because it seems unnecessarily complicated to me. If someone shows me how to do it, I'll be happy to adapt. I don't see a reason to change what has been working for me for years.

How do you view conflicts between generations?

Select an answer:

They are natural, but there is always a way to find common ground. I believe that young people have the right to do things differently, even if it may not work out for them. Sometimes I feel that today’s generation has less patience. It depends on the situation – if it concerns values, I am firm in my opinions. Conflicts are unnecessary if both sides listen to each other.

What does it mean to you to be a mentor?

Select an answer:

To be a guide who helps but does not impose rules. Giving helpful advice and sharing experiences so that others can learn. To teach the younger ones to avoid the mistakes I made. To be someone who supports but does not impose their opinions. I don't know if I have anything to offer; everyone has to find their own path.

If you had to choose a way to preserve your experiences for future generations, what would you prefer?

Select an answer:

Write a book or a diary with your memories. To tell stories and sell them orally. Create something practical that can help others (e.g., a course, blog, video). To teach your children and grandchildren what I have learned. Let things flow – whoever wants to learn will ask.

What feeling does the thought of having a lasting impact on the lives of younger generations evoke in you?

Select an answer:

It is a great responsibility, but I feel honored. I'm glad if I can help someone find their own path. It is natural – we are all part of the cycle of life. I am glad if someone appreciates my experience, but I do not want to impose it on anyone. I have the feeling that these days everyone is going their own way and often doesn't listen to advice.
