Yes, I agree. I try and learn something new everyday! One thing I would like to learn from Yahoo Answers is how women think about things, and how to better treat their differences with respect.

There is a huge body of evidence that continuing to exercise your brain well into old age keeps your mind as sharp as a teenager's and prevents Alzheimer's disease. I am 66. I work crosswords every day, study quantum mechanics, play 11 musical instruments, I am taking helicopter pilot training, and can still help my daughter (16) with her geometry, chemistry, and physics. I backpack through Central and South America and Asia. I learned to speak, read, and write four languages - Japanese, Spanish, Tagalog, and French. Every day brings more questions and more curiosity. Just this hour studied String Theory and whether Jesus had long hair (he didn't). I have friends who are younger than me who live from day to day in a kind of gray existence. No more adventures, no more questions. They haven't looked at clouds for years. A truly sad way to live, no matter how old you are.

Yes of course!!!
Learn and better yourself! If your just gonna not bother to do or learn anything different in life then whats the point? It's part of what make's life great, experiencing new and wonderful things, making mistakes, learning from them, learning from life and other people. Becoming a great person!

Yes, absolutely. Learning keeps the mind agile and ready to deal with situations. A mind that is allowed to languish is more prone to mental problems. Learning useful information keeps the mind in a positive state.

Absolutely, all of us should learn at least one new thing each day, and life should be a cycle of learning from beginning to end. When I lose the will to make new discoveries, then I shall know I'm on my way out!

Not necessarily.
An example?
At my ripe old age should I really be learning how to do that funky body popping stuff for fear of falling out of my zimmer frame?
And do I really want to learn how to act like a right prat in front of one of those new computer/TV games where you have to literally swing a bat or something?
Learning CAN be seriously over-rated.

I agree completely. Learning something new every day keeps the brain active through until death.
