It’s Never Too Late to Learn…
They say old dogs can’t learn new tricks, but we’re no longer in the age of Old Yeller…
(spoiler alert, it’s a sad, teary-eyed ending to that book/film)…
Also, since none of us are of the canine breed,,,, we got another win for folks with workable thumbs
With that being said…
Seriously, it’s never too late to pick up a new trade, skillset, talent, or hobby.
Maintaining a growth mindset is a must to thrive and survive as we age.When one loses track to being able to adapt to the changing surroundings- one of two things occur: extinction or Darwinism- survival of the fittest (through the adaptation of adaptation) by force of external circumstances.
(Think blockbuster vs Redbox - yeah, we’re that old, lol)
Now how does this apply to you & learn about RV’s?
Well to simply put…
RV’s are man-made shelters/structures that need maintenance every so often- some things monthly, others quarterly, and a few things annually. Neglect of any particular item on an RV leads to both it’s exponential diminishment in value (as they depreciate quite rapidly unless the event of another world wide pandemic- where they’ll overly inflate in value once more as an marketing blitz for quarantine stations), as well as disintegration. RV’s that are uncovered and remained exposed to a variety of natural elements (UV rays, hail, rain, etc.) need owner intervention- whether by their own hand’s with a little sweat equity and/or by their owner’s willingness to dish out money to a certified/trained professional to do the work for them (which isn’t the most affordable option- a lot of the time & especially now in this inflated economy).
This being stated- when considering ownership or maintenance with an RV , one must be willing to adopt the same mindset as someone who acquires a house- homeowners KNOW that they’ll to become handy in order to take of their investment or to extend the lifespan of certain features within their home (carpet, beds, furniture, etc). In so doing so… they begin to seek out valuable, educational resources that will cultivate an environment for them to garner new skillsets. Most of these kinds of environments will offer educators that have knowledge of their respective crafts, a passion about their trade, a contagious enthusiasm when teaching, and charismatic and patient personality to help both the most gifted and talented student as well as the most challenged student be able to walk out of the classroom feeling confident in their newly acquired knowledge. Some even find places where the relationship between mentee and mentor/educator continue beyond the classroom experience through additonal one-on-one coaching, mentorship, and/or consulting services…
Those kind of empowering environments is what helps cultivate new skillsets as well as help edify students ability to maintain a growth mindset….
It’s almost as if it’s like describing The Rover Center and it’s staff/team/technicians/instructors….
so just remember… it’s never too late to learn something new!
