Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 128. The proverb today is you're
never too old to learn. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. The meaning of
this proverb is literal. I mean it is just what it says. You are never too old
to learn. It doesn't matter if you are 80 or 90 or even a centenarian. You know
you made it to a hundred. You're over 100. It's all a matter of attitude. And really
what you learn, almost doesn't matter too. That's also limitless. You can go back
to school and learn or you could just pick up a book, you could learn about
your interests your hobbies. You can expand on the learning you already having a
subject that you love. It doesn't matter you're never too old to learn. All lright
let's continue. To stress this point it is suitable to repeat an old Mark Twain
quote. Okay. I covered in an older video. So I covered this in one of my past
videos before, but it's good. It's very suitable to this video, and let's look at
his quote again. "Anyone who stops learning is old whether 20 or 80. Anyone
who keeps learning stays young. " Okay Mark Twain also lets you know, even if
you are young in your 20s or so and you stop learning or limit your
learning you can also become old at a young age. There are many who think
learning stops when schooling stops. Actually that could be the time when you
can learn the most because you can focus on areas you desire where it can ... and
where it can lead you is limitless. And and we all know, when you study things
that you like you learn more, and you learn faster. And you learn quicker. So
really it's almost limitless and this Mark Twain quote is also not only like
the proverb is telling you you're never too old to learn, he's really trying to
tell you by learning you actually can stay younger.
At least in your mind. You could stay younger. Okay. Let's continue. All right.
Let's just give it ... give one good example here for this proverb. Nola Ochs
was the oldest one to graduate from college at the age of 95. She earned her
MA. So she didn't stop there. She earned her MA in 2010 at the age of 98. So she
got her college degree at 95 went and got her master's degree at 98 and she
continued taking classes until she was 100. Okay. So of course this is an a/b part.
So A actually said that. And then B of course could answer, well it just goes to
show, you're never too old to learn. Basically that's it. It let's you know and
again you don't have to go back to school to learn. There's many, many ways
especially with the Internet today and there's so many other options out there
for learning. Again it is almost limitless. So keep it up. Anyway, I hope
you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
