Lifelong Learning: how music, language and art make you smarter

Thanks to Lisa Jenkins for contacting me about graphics she helped create about the benefits of lifelong learning through music and language learning.

I like the look of the graphics as they get the message over well and I also liked the visual image of:

Fresh information acts as a protein shake, forging new pathways and recoating those that are weak. Plus, with practice, these pathways get even stronger.

I'm a great believer in lifelong learning and I certainly found learning a language "challenges my brain to make new connections". The challenge continues when you then go to use the language for example on holiday and have to dig deep to find the right words.

So I'm off to "challenge my brain to make new connections".
