So doodler, you're saying that there are 2 types of people...those that accept getting older and make themselves better thru growth, and those that fear it and regress into MLC.
No, I'm not saying there are two kinds of people. I'm just saying that I suspect a lot of people have expectations of themselves, at given age, to be something that they don't have to be. You know, that Satchel Paige question, "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?"
