Old golfers don’t win – it’s not an absolute, it’s a general rule.
Why?
The older golfer can hit the ball as far as the young one.
He chips and putts equally well.
And will probably have a better knowledge of the course.
So why does he take the extra stroke that denies him victory?
Experience…
He knows the downside, what happens if it goes wrong, which makes him more caution.
That is his edge.
It is the same with all of us.
Knowledge makes us play safe.
The secret is to stay childish.

University student, 23
Going to university usually means, “I don’t know what to do with my life, so I’ll go to university.”A gap year confirms this.Theyare delaying tactics.Some people are lucky enough to know what they want to do early in life.The majoity have great difficultly in putting their assets to useful purpose.I feel sorry for these people. It isn’t easy for them. But going to university is not going to solve their problem.whereas going to work will.

School of Life, 23
If you start work at eighteen, you are five years ahead of someone starting at twenty-three.At twenty-three, for all your education, you will still be the office junior.If you get your career decisions wrong when you are young, you can alter the course, but at twenty-eight it is a bit late to find out you are in the wrong job.So don’t go to university unless the subject of your learning is close to your heart.Go to work and do your learning in the school of life.
