What could an elderly person do that you would consider very impressive?

. . .here are my thoughts.
What could an elderly person do that you would consider very impressive?
The saying goes: “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” What qualifies as old in human years? It’s certainly not 40, because I’m still learning new things—updating thoughts and beliefs. Granted, it’s more of a fine-tuning nowadays than an overarching, 180° change. Thinking back to some beliefs I had in my younger years, I’ve definitely done a couple about-faces. I can imagine an 80-year-old man conversing with his teenage grandson. An issue arises that sees them on polar opposite ends of the debate. The old man says:
“I thought the same as a naive boy—didn’t know my ass from a mason jar. Age’ll fix you soon enough. Always does. Hell, I changed my own mind so often, your great-grandmum threatened me with the loony bin. Seein’ as you’re sure to change your mind after I’m dead and gone, how’s ‘bout you let me talk with the older you so we can agree that I may not be right . . . but you’re definitely wrong.”
It’d be impressive as hell if the old man got a teenager to admit he just might not know everything.
