It’s Just a Number | Matthew Postman | TEDxTheBenjaminSchool


it was late December 2016 the Miami

Hurricanes were playing the West

Virginia Mountaineers in a bowl game

there were two very older people say

next to me that I felt awkward seeing

next year but as the game went on and we

started to talk and we talk about sports

in Miami they tried to be some of the

nicest people I’ve ever met but surely

has to do with the experiences you’ve

had now how many birthdays you

celebrated said say horrible issuance is

a very interesting thing age difference

can vary from a younger child being best

friends with an older man such as in the

movie up or can be my relationship with

my 27 year old brother Justin the big

question about age difference is how and

why these people are familiar with one

another people may think that be weird

or awkward if these people bond with

each other I’m trying to tell you what

this is not true I want you to feel that

you can bond with somebody that’s not

your age an example of asians in my life

is between my brother 27 or brother

Justin and me right here we have a very

different relationship of the many

people think we bonding ways such as

talking about what’s happening our lives

in general or talking about sports when

it comes to Miami we do have our

differences though whether it comes to

him not liking some of the things I drew

or when it comes to maturity especially

in anger sometimes if our favorite

sports team lost I will go crazy yell

scream throw pillows one time I even

broke a lamp you would just say Colin

collected that’s the biggest fun with

the agency maturity if there’s a big age

difference from Sheree level can vary

but this is not true in all situations

yes my brother and I do have our

differences but that doesn’t mean we can

bond with each other I love my brother

another example of assurance is in

television sometimes the older man would

scare all the children away but they’re

also from the age differences such as in

the movie up and then movie up older man

how to dream is flying his house trained

to the sky he thought is jr’s ruined

with its wife Sally died then with the

help of a younger child they completed

the older man stream when I stylist I

realized it doesn’t matter what age you

were and that is what you like about a

person and another person likes about

you people think what age you are

determines what friends you or what age

give your in or what grave you earn if

term determines it can be if you can be

friendly with another person I’ll love

my brother with all my heart if you guys

if you ask anybody else was an older

brother or sister they’ll say the exact

same thing in the movie up there’s a

huge age difference you’re going to

anybody in that can imagine we need me

somebody does not your age you’ve got

you learn new things from each other and

experience something you rarely get to

experience insurance means nothing when

it comes to Friendship thank you [Applause]
