13. BUST LIMITING BELIEFS
Your mind may actually be sharper.
A University of Illinois study found that older air traffic controllers excelled at their
mentally tough jobs -- and performed as well as younger peers -- because they were
so good at navigation and at handling several airplanes at once.
In short, they were able to overcome any weaknesses by tapping into their wealth of
experience. For those of you worried about staying sharp, challenge your brain by
performing mental exercises.
Don't buy in to the negative stereotypes associated with aging and memory.
