I'll never forget the day when Mary came into my office and said,I am too old to learn how to use a computer.I shook my head.Here was a woman who had raised 6 children and who had made great progress in her career telling me that she was too old to learn something new.I told her that I always believed people were never too old to learn.

Mary followed my advice and did learn how to use the computer.Now,she is retired and leading a very active life volunteering in her community( 社区 ),using her computer skills and helping anyone that needs help.

When she was in her sixties,one day she called me and said she had played the piano for others all her life,and now she was going to make a CD of her own.My mind flashed back to the day when she told me she was too old to learn.You can imagine my surprise and delight.

To produce the CD,she had a lot of things to learn.It was not just sitting at the piano and playing.She had to research the songs,learn about copyright(版权),and learn about marketing.It was pretty amazing for someone who once said she was too old to learn.And finally she made it. Now she has her own CD-Mixed Blessings.

Most of you probably have heard about some people who have gone back to university in their seventies and have also graduated.They are on their way again to charging themselves with a new skill and a new attitude towards life.The point is you are unable to learn anything at any age if you believe you are too old.On the contrary,you can achieve anything at any age if you believe you can.
