How Old Will You Be If You Don't Do The Thing You Wanted To Do?

The answer is as old as you will be doing the things you wanted to do.

This title may seem a little funny if you don't read it carefully. An example of what this title mean will be. If you wanted to learn how to play piano, and knowing that it will takes about 2 to 3 years before you can master it and a few more years before you can play well in it. Will you start to learn, or will you say 5 years is too long, or you give excuss that you are too old or too young to learn. Let say I am 40 years old this year, and picking up this new skill will require me to spend another 6 years to master it, so by the time I am 46 years old I will be quite a good piano player. Or if I say 6 years is too long, forget about learning it. How old will I be 6 years later. I will still be 46 years old. We really shouldn't use time or age as an excuses for not wanting to learn a new skill, because we will be as old as the time taken to learn a new skill. If we give up learning, we will still grow old, so why don't we pick up a new skill and keep on learning. :)
