It really, really bums me out when people get older, settle into their routines, and have absolutely no interest whatsoever in learning about anything new. Actually, it more than bums me out: it kind of makes me furious.
Learning is supposed to be a lifelong endeavor and don’t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.
This Twitter thread from a guy named Justin Heckert should inspire you to get out there and learn about some new things.

Obviously, Heckert was pretty impressed with his mother-in-law’s new skill set.

And, maybe the best part: no one in the entire family had a clue that she had been learning how to play the fiddle.

How could they not know? Guess she’s good at keeping secrets…

It came out that the mother-in-law is actually pretty new at the fiddle.

Heckert’s tweets got a lot of attention and he was thankful for the praise for his mother-in-law and for the other folks out there who inspired him with their own stories.

Let’s say it one more time to drive the point home: you’re never too old to learn something new. So get out there and so something good for yourself!
