What the elderly and babies/young children have in common!

"Every thing that you see happening in a young brain can happen in an older brain. The changes can be ever bit as great as the changes in the newborn." by Dr. Michael Merzenich

From conception until we take our first job, and again from when we retire as seniors, we have the time and are primarily learning the knowledge and skills to prepare us for whats to come or leaving a legacy. In between the two we are expected to work to provide a living and raise a family.

In 2000 it become common knowledge that our senior mind can create new brain cells just like we did as babies. We wired our mind until around 20 years old in order to survive and propogate. At age 60 we retired and can now rewire that same mind to continue surviving, exploring the world, and leave a legacy.

I wish everybody all the best and success with your rewiring challenge. Great Grandpa Roger Humbke
