“Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth”
— J.K. Rowling

Simplified Meaning:
Older people can sometimes make the mistake of thinking that young people don't know much or can't do much. This is a foolish way of thinking because young people often have fresh ideas, a lot of energy, and can surprise everyone with what they can achieve. For example, Steve Jobs was very young when he started Apple, and his new ideas changed the world of technology. Instead of dismissing young people, it's better to listen to them and learn from their unique perspectives. By recognizing and valuing the abilities of the youth, everyone can benefit and grow from the contributions they make.
