Pearl Diving

Matters of attitude are not tied to a person's age.
The adage "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" should have passed into oblivion long ago.
This saying only applies to people, both young and old, who fail to recognize what is valuable and lack the interest to dive deeply for it.
It does not, and never did, apply to the continuous student, who knows that pearls never float and must be gathered from the bottom of the sea.
