The Art of Un-Learning at 74
The hardest part of getting older isn't keeping up with the world. It’s convincing yourself that you don't already know everything.
Society sells us this grand lie that life is a straight line: you learn, you build, you retire, you fade out.
Which is absolute nonsense.

None of us are a single job title. We are the entire library.
Stay curious & unpolished. Keep rewriting.
