Habits are a curse, and time is an arc....

Thought for the day.

I feel this a lot right now -- things that should be child's play for me are hard, and other things, well, it's as if I've been dropped into a culture with a language I don't speak. Everything is tantalizingly close to what I know, but I have to pay attention to nuance as much as I can.

So I am learning new things every day. And if I have enough energy, it keeps me young.

Though I think this has a lot more to do with Neuroscience than the author suggests.

(Also, a lot of the assertions about memory, while more or less true for most people, are pretty incomplete for me. While, as a colleague reminds me, I too undoubtedly retain an abstraction of the events as they occurred rather than raw data per se, if I am in reasonable health I will usually remember the specific words. While this is perhaps a little unusual, there's a lot of variation among humans, generally.)

Lots to be said for keeping on learning. *2 thumbs up*
