In my 20s I was learning. In my 30s I knew what I knew but was puzzled by odd beliefs and views expressed by people seemingly more experienced, ostensibly knowledgeable and older. In my 40s I found confidence in myself. I got the confidence to know where I was exactly right and where my limits lay, but often wasted time in trying to teach others what was right. In my 50s I realized that people have to discover some things on their own and that unless something really needs to be said to achieve something that I consider important, it is OK to say nothing and let people blunder through life. I will be 60 next year watch this space... shiv
