At no age does the learning of the mind stop except the strictures that we place on ourselves.
Most times the term being set in our ways that we loosely use is actually a self-imposed and nice way of saying, I don’t want to be bothered to change.
For as long as we can keep our minds open to assimilate knowledge, our inner core is rejuvenated, constantly growing and the perspectives of our horizons remains broad.

That’s true and there is nothing sadder than a young person who shuts themselves down with drugs or other avenues of escaping life rather than living real life. It invites early dementia…

Very well said Jacqueline. Learning is a life long pursuit. One of my old bosses always told me “knowledge is portable,” you can take it wherever you go and use it for situations you would have never known you could use it. Have a restful evening Jacquelne.

Quite True Jacqueline. Learning begins at a tender age and continues till our last breath. Mind does not and should not know any boundaries!

We’ve definitely disproved the whole “can’t teach an old dog” thing. We’ve found that plasticity, which is the brains ability to learn and adapt, continues throughout our lives!!
