My grandparents decided to learn Welsh when they were 65. After two years of lessons in it (and talking Welsh with me at home, I was going to a Welsh school and was already fluent), they were fluent. My grandmother, around the same time, decided to overcome her phobia of water and had me teach her how to swim. She'd swim laps with me in the pool up into her 80s.

You're not too old and it's not too late to try something new.

In other words: there is always something new and exciting and worth learning out there?

@kemonine if you wnat to interpret it that way, sure! It was more about something you might already wish you knew but you keep putting off learning because you think it's too late.

After watching my grandparents (born in the 1930's) react and adapt to the world around them...

I think I'll be OK on that count. They never stopped and never suggested 'it was too late'. If anything they usually argued what you put forth :)
