What can a fifth grader do that you can't?

What can a fifth grader do that you can't? Learn! I went to a fifth-grade concert and it hit me that six months ago my son didn't even know how to properly hold a trumpet let alone play it. In six months time, he is in a concert with other fifth grader playing like he has played for years. The key point here is that a fifth grader can start from the beginning and in six months time playing in a concert is great. Keep in mind that the fifth grader only practices maybe three times a week in school for one hour at a time. Then practice at home for twenty minutes a day for five days.

Why can't you start from the beginning and in six-months have a business that is generating income? If one keeps the same schedule as the fifth grader learning to play an instrument? Then one could build a business with one hour a day for three days and another twenty minutes a day for five days.

Why after we reach a certain age then it is very difficult to learn new things? Is it that we can't? or is it that we won't? Only you know which answer of three is for you.
