Do you agree with the saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."?

Oh, what does old dog mean....? Do you mean old senior? HAHAHA!!(joking) I don't agree with that. Because people are never too old to learn something. People can learn something regardless of their age. There's just a difference in time to learn and understand something. Young people take less time to learn and understand something, but older people can take twice as long as younger people. Also, older people have a harder mental state and mind than younger people, so they won't give eaily. Of course, you might have a hard time teaching older people something, but you will be able to teach a new skill. In Korea, there are many people who challenge new things even if they are old, so there is a lot of possibility. Isn't there a saying that learning knows no limits?

Hello, Yun!~

I appreciate your response. In fact, it doesn't deviate too much from the proverb's intended meaning. The proverb "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" refers to the inability to influence individuals to stray from their ingrained thoughts and behavior patterns. It is similar to this, for a competent or experienced worker, it can occasionally be challenging to impose new standards because they have already established their own methods, especially if they are already experts.
