Hello friends and fellow mylotters,

I am so happy happy to let you know that I have learned something new today about some new use of computers on my side. You see, mylot page was very small in words and I had to look more closely at mylot page when doing some responding and posting.

This afternoon (November 7th, 2009), I called to ask one of my friends who is a computer professional for the issue. He told me how to make the words bigger and I succeeded in making it. Now I am so happy with this discovery that I would be glad to share this information with you guys.

If you want to enlarge any web-page to make it clearer and bigger for you to read, you may click "view" and and find "zoom". Then you may click "zoom in" to the size you prefer. This way the web-page is nice and big enough for you to read. Isn't that cool!

It is never too old to learn. I expect to always learn something more about the use of computers, which is one of my favorites.

So what do you think about the saying, "It is never too old to learn."?

Love from williamjsir

Take care!


It is never too old to learn.

I would say that is true because the sooner you get started on working on something you want to do the longer you will have to be able to do it. To get good at something you just need a lot of practice and as long as you have time to work at getting better at things then you will eventually get better at them.


myLot reputation of 97/100. williamjisir (12841)   ranked 10 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

Hello jambi. You are absolutely correct to say that we will eventually get better at things so long as we have time to work at them. Thank you and take care, my dear friend.

myLot reputation of 97/100. williamjisir (12841)   ranked 10 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

Yeah, I can see that there are a lot of people who choose to go back to college for some further study after their graduation. They want to learn something new for them to adapt more to the current society for the improvement of their work.

I agree with you, it is never to old to learn, although I am not yet old, I believe I will still learn when I am old. Thank for the peep talk


myLot reputation of 97/100. williamjisir (12841)   ranked 10 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

Life is a long process of learning on and on. Have a good day, lindiebiz.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (1129)   ranked 1,212 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

Yeah, life is a learning process. You will learn a lot as you get older. That's why as you get more older, you tend to be more mature and be strong because of those learnings...

Happy Mylotting!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. williamjisir (12841)   ranked 10 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

It is true that the older we get, the more mature and the stronger we become.

happyhello, i agree with you, don't you know that there was an old lady who graduated from elementary and an oldman who completed his college degree. it was never too old to learn, like my mom who took a masteral in PNU but she didn't continue due to low funds for the tuitionsadsad


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (1129)   ranked 1,212 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

We have also a TV commercial in here that an old woman is very, very expert in handling the computer. Like, she really knows what are the famous sites and she really like facebook a lot... lollol

Hello friends. I would like to take my parents-in-law for example. They have been learning to play a lot of different kinds of sports ever since they got retired. I think that it is good for them to learn to play some other sports to make their life more colorful and their health stronger. There are so many things for each of us to learn and it is a pleasant experience to learn something new. Take care, friends.

I'm glad you found about the zoom, but there is a faster and easier way.

Do you use Firefox? If so, if you hold Ctrl and scroll up with your mouse, the printing will be bigger. If you hold Ctrl and scroll down with your mouse, the printing will be smaller. I know this works with Firefox, but I'm not sure if it does with other browsers.

Now to answer your question. "Never too old to learn?" Well, some would call me old. I don't think I am old, but I admit I am 73. I am happy to say that I never stop learning and never want to stop.


myLot reputation of 97/100. williamjisir (12841)   ranked 10 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

Hello cloudwatcher. Thank you so much for the information. I have tried it after reading your response. It does work. I use Firefox. It is easier and faster this way. I am glad that I have learned something more about this topic. I am also glad to know that you have been learning all the time. So it is with me, friend. Happy learning.

6. myLot reputation of 81/100. randylovesdar (423)   ranked 1,742 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge   3 weeks ago

There is a lot of truth to the saying. I know of people who had graduated high school years ago and are now going to college. My husband graduated high school in the 80s and is now a freshman attending the University of Phoenix online. I was 28 when I started college and graduated in the 90s. I just got my BA degree from Brigham Young University-Idaho this past July and will be attedning The University of Phoenix in December. I am proud of myself. I feel that learning is an ongoing process that never ends.

Hello randylovesdar. It is so true that learning is an ongoing process that never ends. Happy learning, friend.

Yeah, it's never too late to learn. In our life, everyday is a learning process, like you will tend to encounter a lot of things and learn from them. Even if we are that old, we still learn something...about new things, about life..and that's how wonderful life is. happyhappy


myLot reputation of 97/100. williamjisir (12841)   ranked 10 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

Hello joannaleed. You are absolutely right that we still learn new things about life, which makes our life more wonderful. Enjoy your life to the fullest, my dear friend.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (1129)   ranked 1,212 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

Yeah, everyday is a learning experience and we should learn from it and don't ignore it. The more older we are, the more mature we may be...So, let's learn through experience...Happy Mylotting as well..

Wow! Thanks for this William. Even I had little clue! I just checked it worked great! Indeed there is no age to learn new things and we become a child on discovering a new thing or getting to learn something new. Last time I felt this way was the time I learned how to take a screen shot by pressing Print Screen Key and shift. I felt like on the top pf the world.

myLot reputation of 97/100. williamjisir (12841)   ranked 10 out of 1,859 in sharing of new ideas &knowledge  3 weeks ago

Hello dear mimpi. When we learn something new and have mastered it, it does make us extremely happy. I am glad that you have checked it to find it great. It is cool for us to know about it. Have a good day, mimpi.

In my eyes, everyone who are worried about their age should follow the saying, "It is never to old to learn."

It is obvious that age is no handicap to learning anything you want to learn. As far as I know, many people have the mistaken idea that age is a drag on learning and as they are getting old, they tend to lose your capacity to learn. As we grow older, or if we have already reached or passed middle age, don't fool ourselves with the idea that the capacity to learn diminishes with age. We can be successful if we want and there are no relationship between study and age.

It is never too late to learn.

Hello getbrowser. You are right that age is not a problem for us to learn so long as we intend to. Only when we keep on learning can we update our gained knowledge.
