It appears that there are no statute of limitations as many seemed to have moved from young and stupid to older and still stupid, an apparently, easy transition. The sign that hung in my Dad's basement workshop, allegedly from an old German proverb, was a reminder, "We get too soon old and too late smart." Learning, growing and changing is a challenge for too many who give up early. Why? Maybe because it seems like too much work, too time consuming, not interesting or being in a family that does not value the standards and benefits of a good education. There's research that supports this statistic: 54% of U.S. adults read below a 6th grade level. That's 130 million!
Not a bad idea…
Right?
