Honor your age and your elders

Although we identify creative genius with child prodigies such as Mozart, researchers in creativitity point out that the careers that last the longest are those that began late in life. So don't be afraid to try something new!

Why is it that...
In social settings, it's considered rude to ask someone their age and if a person is asked, they might consider removing a year or two. (Whereas in places like China, where old age is respected, a person may add a year or two to their age.)


Senility Prayer:
"God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference."
