Too old for new tricks?

Have you heard a 40-year-old complain "I'm too old to learn this new stuff"?

I had the great pleasure to teach a short course to a group of senior citizens, most of whom are in their 60's and above. They are among the most curious and hungry students I have ever worked with. We really have no excuse to be not continuously learning. 

If you have friends or relatives of 55+ and enjoy learning, recommend to them the University of the 3rd Age - https://www.facebook.com/U3AMalaysia
