You're Never Too Old to Learn

(a person can learn at any age)

Chinese! What are you doing studying Chinese?

I've always wanted to learn it, but I never got around to it before. All those years I was so involved with business that there was never any time. Now that I'm retired, I thought I'd give it a shot. I figure you're never too old to learn.

More power to you. I've been thinking of going back to school myself, but I'm getting up in years and I didn't know if I was too old to learn.

Listen, my friend. A person can learn at any age. You can do it if you want to badly enough. Just stick with it.

I appreciate your words of encouragement. Maybe I will take that class in real estate, after all.
