Age vs. Maturity

I think some of us, as we age, are afraid to try new things for the fear of looking foolish. It's like a part of us actually believes we are supposed to be good at everything that we are going to be good at because of our age. But being good at something is really only maturity, or experience, in that particular area. Does age really have anything to do with it? Whether you're two, ten, or fifty your ability to play the piano has to do with your experience playing the piano. If you have never touched the piano and attempt to play Bach you are going to look foolish. Just a thought for the perfectionist in you.
