Keeping in line with the theme of continuous self improvement, I have made some observations on aging. I am learning that people of all ages actually age at different rates.
This is true physically but I am only speaking of the mental/psychological part here. It almost seems that as we age, we face curves of our wisdom and our ability to understand things at an almost inverse rate.
As we gain more wisdom, we also have to work harder to put that wisdom to use because part of aging is some loss of awareness. To illustrate this, consider how much easier it is for a kid, grade school to high school, to learn more quicklly how to use electronic products.
How do we overcome this? We work harder at it. We limit our TV time, we increase our reading time, we try harder.
If you are over 50, take heart, you still have a great capacity to learn. If you are just aware that you need to be more aware that is half the battle. If you know that you need to pay attention, then just do so and you will be fine. Just remember, that older alone does not always mean smarter.
