I
hear the phrase"you can't teach an old dog new tricks" when referring
to people who don't want to change or learn something new.
I have to wonder why not?
I know when I pick up
a book or take a class, I can feel my mind opening. I look at things
differently. My collective knowledge is now expanded with this new
information and I might change my thoughts on a thing or two.
Many people,
though, think that they can't learn anything new. That they are too
set in their ways , too "old" or just don't have the time.
However, investing in
new ideas and concepts can create experiences that change things for
you. It may just be a few hours of reading or taking a short class but
that time invested changes you.
It takes a commitment to invest in you. Are you worth it?
So, take sometimes to learn some new tricks. You may be surprised at how you look at or handle things differently.
