Listen To This..."Does Age Quash Our Spirit of Adventure?"

I LISTENED TO THE RADIO STATION CALLED NPR, ON MY TOPIC ON LINE...
"Does Age Quash Our Spirit of Adventure?"



"Is there a certain age when the typical American passes from the novelty stage to utter predictability?"(Krulwich )

Studies show that when you are fourteen to twenty one years old is when your wide open to new things. By age thirty five most people don't care about new things, such as different foods for example. Like if you haven't tried sushi by the age of thirty five, then you most likely wouldn't cart to try it at all. The window for new things is open from ages fourteen to twenty one, and closed by the age of thirty five. If your over thirty nine and never tried a new food, then your adventure for food is over.
Studies show that people who get piercing are usually between ages sixteen to twenty three. But after twenty three
you most likely will not try it. (Krulwich )


Some people do retain there sense of adventure. Why does the adventurous ways of life disappear? People who don't, 1)spend a long time at the same job, or 2)they succeed, there good at it.
Then you become animate. (Note: don't become animate.)
Loosing a sense of adventure is not only just for humans but for animals too. Some animals, like gorillas, will not try new foods. The younger gorillas will be the first one to usually try new things such as foods. They almost sound like us. Is there a difference between youth & novelty? Sometimes your adventurous ways have to do with how or where you were raised, your lifestyle background.
"An open mind is a prickliest to a open heart." (Krulwich )




*I would highly recommend you to listen to it to. Just use the link in my citation.
