    Maybe, maybe not. One would be more focused older, peer pressure which was in your face at 19, is basically gone. More discipline being older too. But less energy and enthusiasm. Bottom line, maybe, depends on the person and what is to be learned.

    Habits and ways, sure. Educational things, not really.

    Speaking personally..not for me.. I keep a mind open to things..not a closed one that thinks it knows everything..that's within reason..
