There is an old saying that you can’t teach an old dog new trick. The new science of neuroplasticity suggests otherwise, it has now been found that our brains are wonderfully adaptable and are not fixed in their function and structure. The possibilities of what we can achieve are only limited by our imagination and our drive to achieve them. We can look at an obstacle in our lives in two ways, the first as an excuse not to go on, the other as an opportunity to learn something new, which would you choose.
