Answer: Positive: To be experienced, wiser, and well-versed

Negative: Deteriorating

Explanation: Usually when you think of someone being older than you, you think of all of the things they must’ve gone through and the knowledge they have obtained. In a negative sense, that could also mean that someone older is sometimes not as capable and prone to memory loss.
