Lots could be said on this topic beside agreeing with it. Adapting might be one response. We also have bad memories when it comes to accessing what works and what doesn't but keep on doing the same the thing hoping the results will be different.
Putting a little different spin on this, i.e. - Amsoil synthetic oil topic, my perspective would look like, "Don't change your oil, change your mind". That means that synthetic oil doesn't need changing as often as synthetic motor oil.
Change at my age is hard but making adjustments and adapting at any age is always usefull.

Bogdan,

Thank you :) I think this is a wonderful quote.  All too often people believe that they have forever,  and put off changes that need to be made.

 

 

God Bless!

Change is like diapers, they hold a lot and they make a mess when they release the content.

AGELESS WIT AND OBSERVATIONS

"If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed."
~~~Mark Twain
Suppose you were an idiot.
And suppose you were a member of Congress....
But then I repeat myself.
~~~ Mark Twain
I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
~~~ Winston Churchill
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

~~~ George Bernard Shaw
Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
~~~James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994)
Foreign aid might be defined as a transfer of money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.
~~~Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at Georgetown University

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
~~~ P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
~~~Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850)
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
~~~ Ronald Reagan (1986)
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
~~~ Will Rogers

In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other.
~~~ Voltaire (1764)
Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you!
~~~ Pericles (430 B.C.)
No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
~~~ Mark Twain (1866
)
Talk is cheap...except when Congress does it.
~~~ Unknown
The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.
~~~ Ronald Reagan

Inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
~~~ Winston Churchill
The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.
~~~ Mark Twain

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools.
~~~ Herbert Spencer, English Philosopher (1820-1903)
There is no distinctly Native American criminal class...save Congress.
~~~ Mark Twain
What this country needs are more unemployed politicians.
~~~ Edward Langley, Artist (1928 - 1995)
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
~~~ Thomas Jefferson
