Common Misconceptions #4: With age comes wisdom

old farts giving the finger

There is a saying with age comes wisdom… I am here to tell you that is a croc.  It’s built on the assumption that you will get smarter as you get older.   Of course you will… IF YOU LEARN.  If you don’t learn from your mistakes you will be as dumb as you were 50 years ago.  I know plenty of people who have aged and are still dealing with the same issues on a daily basis.  From a distance you can just see they won’t learn from their mistakes.  Hey, before you say anything I am in the same boat.  You only get ‘wisdom’ through the learning you get when you reflect on what you have and move forward.  Don’t look at what you have done, milk it for the lessons and don’t make the same mistakes again.  You will get wisdom ‘with’ age at an alarming rate if you have the capacity to learn.
