Youth is not a factor if you have merit

A layperson asked me for advice on how to handle a situation where he had to supervise an office where many people working under him were older and have worked there longer than he had. I replied that there is no need to worry. It doesn't matter if you have fewer years of seniority than they do; it only matters that you have more merit. It is merit, not age that is a factor. We are the results of our merit. If we have more merit, we become the leader. Merit is the determining factor.
