Never to old to learn. Sean enjoys his studying even though he is 80. We should take a leaf out of Sean's book.

活到老學到老。即使Sean已經80了,他仍然沉浸在學習的樂趣中。我們應該學學Sean。

Suggestion 1:

You're never too old to learn. Sean enjoys his studying even though he is 80. We should take a leaf out of Sean's book.

Suggestion 2:

It's "Never too old to learn." 'Too' is an adverb. 'To' is a preposition (usually).

For better grammar, you may need a subject and verb to make that a real sentence.

"I'm never too old to learn"
"You're never too old to learn"

If you use "You're" it can mean any person in general.
