The post is about advice to a 12/13 year old, but the truth is as Rav Miller zatsal said regarding Abaye in Shabbos that every mishna, halacha , nach etc the earlier you learn it- even if you are already an old man – the better off you are.
The Gemara relates that the Sages said this halakha before Abaye in the name of Rabbi Yirmeya and he did not accept it.
However, subsequently, when Ravin came from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia, the Sages said this halakha before Abaye in the name of Rabbi Yoḥanan, and he accepted it. Then Abaye said regretfully: Had I merited, I would have learned this halakha from the outset. The Gemara wonders: Didn’t he ultimately learn it and accept it? What difference does it make from whom and at what point he learned it? The Gemara answers: The practical difference is with regard to knowledge acquired in one’s youth, which is better remembered.
If Abaye was on the level to not accept a halacha , it is obvious that he was already a mature leading Amora of the generation. And still the Girsa Dyankisa is advantageous.
