Selbstbewusst widersprechen

Have you ever heard the expression you can’t teach an old dog
new tricks? Today I want to talk with you about this expression and ask whether this is true or not. Well, the answer is kind of confusing because it is, and it isn’t true at the same time. So what do I mean by that? When somebody says, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” essentially, they are saying if you are older, you can’t learn new things. Now, I have a real problem with this because I have seen this type of mindset disproved so many times, including my first college professor who did not go to college until she was in her 60’s she ended up getting her associate degree, her bachelors and then masters degree and in her seventies was my professor for my very first college class that I ever took. I don’t believe the expression, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”
