Ilchi Lee believes that brain education is important throughout one's life, because it can help a person reach his or her true potential. That means that one should never stop learning new things and having new experiences.
Mahlon Jones is one man who is living by this philosophy. The 71-year-old, who is retired after two serious careers, has lately picked up the guitar, according to The Times Herald-Record. He has always wanted to learn the instrument and finally has time to do so during the golden years.
"My mother and father both played guitar. I grew up in the country, and they used to play music at night," he told the publication.
He regularly takes classes at the Twin Hickory Recreation Center, where many other people his age are also working on learning new skills. Kathryn Reid, a retired schoolteacher, has started learning how to work with clay.
"It's kind of good for the soul," she explained to the news source.
Some experts believe that this kind of brain training may also be a key to staying sharp as one ages, because it creates new connections and associations in the mind.
