Hi this is Tutor Nick P and  this is Proverbs 128. The  proverb today is you're

To-infinitive

never too old to learn. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. The meaning of

Adverbs of frequency

this proverb is literal.  I mean it is just what it says. You are never too old

to learn. It doesn't matter if you are 80 or 90 or even a centenarian. You know

you made it to a hundred. You're  over 100.  It's all a matter of attitude. And really

what you learn,  almost doesn't matter too.  That's also limitless. You can go back

to school and learn or you could just pick up a book,  you could learn about

your interests your hobbies. You can expand on the learning you  already having a

subject that you love. It doesn't matter you're never too old to learn. All lright

let's continue. To stress this point it is suitable to repeat an old Mark Twain

quote. Okay.  I covered in an older video.  So I covered this in one of my past

videos before,  but it's good. It's very suitable to this video,  and let's look at

his quote again. \"Anyone who stops learning is old whether 20 or 80. Anyone

who keeps learning stays young. \" Okay Mark Twain also lets you know,  even if

you are young in your 20s or so and you stop learning or limit your

learning you can also become old at a young age. There are many who think

learning stops when schooling stops.  Actually that could be the time when you

can learn the most because you can focus on areas you desire where it can ... and

where it can lead you is limitless. And and we all know,  when you study things

that you like you learn more,  and you learn faster. And you learn quicker. So

really it's almost limitless and this Mark Twain quote is also not only like

the proverb is telling you you're never too old to learn,  he's really trying to

tell you by learning you actually can stay younger.

At least in your mind.  You could stay younger. Okay. Let's continue. All right.

Let's just give it ... give one good example here for this proverb.  Nola Ochs

was the oldest one to graduate from college at the age of 95. She earned her

MA. So she didn't stop there. She earned her MA in 2010 at the age of 98. So she

got her college degree at 95 went and got her master's degree at 98 and she

continued taking classes until she was 100. Okay. So of course this is an a/b part.

So A actually said that. And then B of course could answer,  well it just goes to

show,  you're never too old to learn.  Basically that's it. It let's you know and

again you don't have to go back to school to learn. There's many,  many ways

especially with the Internet today and there's so many other options out there

for learning. Again it is almost limitless. So keep it up. Anyway,  I hope

you got it.  I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
