As we get older, we lose sight of our surroundings (the world), but we can also see things.
One of them is,
"It's tempting to give a well-rounded young persons more than they can handle."
For young engineers who responded to my tough questions without hesitation, or with hesitation, I want to get somethings greedy.
"If I hit her/him, I might be able to get more their power (ability)"
So I hit them.
And, they will soon be crushed, sick, and leave the company.
-----
"I see, the reason I kept getting beaten when I was younger was because I was too good"
I have just noticed that now.
However, I, on the other hand, haven't gone under, haven't gotten sick, haven't left the company--
"Was I not too good?"
I'm falling into recursive thinking.

Anyway,
We seniors need to have the courage to give up our "greed"
I can understand that it's tempting to reach out when we see outstanding young talent, but,
I think the courage to 'leave their talent alone' is what we have to have.
