I saw this very old, but possibly young-spirited men at lunch in Secret Recipe at KL Central. As rare (or maybe peculiar) as it seems, he occupied one of the spacious tables in the café, and was completely focused on doing his “homework”; he was drawing slowly on a small exercise book (those that we used in our primary schools) using his gold-plated pen, referring to another one with the some writings on it.
Couldn’t really see what are the writings, but the thick crook cane lying beside him is quite obvious. He’s quite an old men already.
And then there came one lady and a middle-aged men to him. Seated, they started to talk to the old man while flipping through the old man’s book to examine his writings.
So, I think they are his teachers. The old man is probably learning Chinese writing, because you could tell that it’s not about English as he speaks very eloquently. Or maybe he’s learning French or Spanish. No idea, though I kept peeping him though out. Heh.
But at such an age, I think the time and effort spent will not be able to reach the same level of Courage it takes. Never too late to learn, and never too late to start from scratch again?
I am imagining myself learning yoga at 75. =.=
Salute that old man! =)
So now, for me: Ahem, I think I should finish with my new book. At least, first of all. Hehe.
Yea, totally agree with you. As long as u have the heart to learn, age is never an obstacle, eventhough that thing is not a decent thing.
I had a new quote last month, it goes, "it's good the learn what is wrong."
