Life of a "Student". For or Against?

There are two types of students that I am aware of at the moment, the ones who openly admit they are "learning" (hopefully through a credited school) and those who are in learning denial. I say denial because as most of us know, knowledge (in general) lies throughout a never ending path, or trail, that must be continually traversed and explored in order for us to continually learn.

Those that would deny this, are those who believe they are either too old to learn new tricks or they have sufficient knowledge in their field and limit themselves to said area. There remains alot to be said on behalf of both parties. The pool of knowledge in the "denier"'s field is rich in a particular area, while on the other hand, the "public" learner begins to see a broad field of possibilities.

Why then do the "deniers" continue to dismiss their younger counterparts as being "too-green" or naive when this is exactly how they used to be?

On the other hand, these "students" or willful learners also adopt this dangerous "two-track" train of thought, and dismiss the post generation as "too-old" or unwilling of change, when it is quite possible this is what the "learn'ed" will grow up to be or be like?

Of course in public, the older will say "how nice" for you to be going to school, when they may very well be thinking how hopeless our countries' future seems. While at the same time the younger may be saying how rich in experience the post generation is but thinking how better off our country can be.

We forget no matter who we are, educated-, undereducated, old or young we forget the potential harm a "two-track" mind can be. Also forgotten (but not beyond the realm of recovery) is the potential of any mind.

Everyone; young and old, has a story to tell..
