Old dog vs Old wise owl

 

It is true that you can't teach an old dog new tricks (look up the meaning of this idiom in the previous post) unless they have been proved right, but remember all you can learn from an old wise owl if the work has been carried out properly.

 

Not all new trends, innovations, tools... have to be positive and surely you can learn from experience, which obviously come from attempts to face challenges and not just from the amount of time you have been working.
