Too old to learn?

For thousands of years it has been believed that the young learn from the old. But has the situation finally reversed? Do the old now have to learn from the young? Such a thought is an uncomfortable one but which needs a to be seriously considered, in the light of the present system where knowledge is expanding so fast that it is said that the total volume of knowledge in the world doubles every ten years. If this is true than a man who is 60 years old and whose grandson is 15, will have had 50 percent less to learn at 50 than his grandson would have at 15. In this case, unless Grandpa is a man who is constantly educating himself, there would be a lot he could learn from his grandson. However, one thing that is said that cannot be learnt without an elder is experience. The old would have ‘been there, done that and bought the T-shirt’ while most of the young have to teach may be theoretical or with little experience to back them up. Even in ancient texts like Plato’s dialogues, it comes about that the young learn from the old as much as the old learn from the young. When looking at a problem, the old can see it from their experience and perhaps only from that perspective. This may or may not be useful to the situation of the problem. The young looking at the same problem may be able to see the problem from a fresh insight, without the baggage of stumbling experience; which may actually act an obstacle to the problem. Then again, they would be lacking in experience, which may be crucial in solving the problem. Hence we see that in certain situations, neither the old nor the young have the advantage. As a conclusion, what may work is a combination of experience from the old and creativity from the young.

The Presidents's Book

After heard f the President's Secret Book? If you've watched the movie "National Tressure", then you would probably have heard and got some idea about it.

The President's Book is known to be filled with lots of secrets Secrets that can only be revealled to the President of America and Him alone. Not even the First Lady is allowed to read the little book.

Did the rocket Apollo and Neil Armstrong really landed on the moon? Or were they just facking it?
Who was the killer and Abraham Lincoln and why was he killed? All of these things canbe found in that little book.
In the movie "National Tressure", that book is said to be kept in the Library of Congress, in the forbidden section.

But well, nobody really know whether that book does really exist, because nobody ever saw that book with their own eyes. Nobody except the President alone and the only way to get the book is by kidnapping the president of America. Good luck doing that.

Witches and Wizards

Witches and wizards are people who are known to possess magical powers or supernatural forces. They are usually found in myths, legends and folktales as a bad and evil people. But are they really partially demonic like we all assume, or do they really exist?

The word wizard literally means "wise man". It is said that they do really exist. The first existance of witch-craft was found in a forest in Stoneage Bratain. The only way for them to stay alive was by hunting to prey. Of course they wizards and witches do not hunt using weapons like ather ordinary hunters. The weapon they use is called the "wand".

The Wand a staff or a stick, believed to have magical powers, and the ability to produce and effect by tapping or waving it. The wand itself holds no magic. To ensure that the magic can be aimed correctly at the desired target, just point the wand to the target's direction. The power of the Witch/Wizard, is concentrated into the wand.

Long ago, wizards and witches have been burned alive in the town square of the village. People who were believed to do witch craft work were usually kidnapped in the middle of the nigt and burned alive as a punishment. This includes people in all ages, both women; men and also children.

But talking about wizards, and witches. The image of those creatures are not like how they used to be. Especially after the birth of the story "Harry Potter". Children are no longer scared of them, instead they have become a Hero they look up to.
