"One day, you’ll be too old to change? Very well; then repair your personality now before it’s too late!" #QotD

“'I’m too old to change.' The elderly routinely use this as an excuse for the aggravation they cause. Yet if you look down the game tree and do backwards induction, you’ll find not an excuse, but a blueprint for a better senescence. One day, you’ll be too old to change? Very well; then repair your personality now before it’s too late!"
