The glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is their gray hair.—Prov. 20:29.

In recent times, the work of Jehovah’s people has grown in scope and complexity. As we tackle new projects, new ways of doing things are adopted—often ways that involve the use of rapidly changing technology. Some older ones may find it hard to keep pace with these advances. (Luke 5:39) Even when that is not the case, younger ones may have greater strength and energy than older ones have. Thus, it is both loving and practical for older ones to prepare younger ones to take on greater responsibility. (Ps. 71:18) Those in positions of authority may not find it easy to delegate to younger ones. Some fear losing a position they cherish or are convinced that younger ones cannot do things as well. Some may reason that they do not have time to train someone else. On the other hand, those who are younger must guard against becoming impatient when they are not given more to do. w17.01 5:3, 4
