Age as a factor depreciating some people of their dreams

[autumnleaf]

Passion is really something, don't you think? Any person, regardless of age, can create wonderful things out of passio and love for what they do. Before it is too late, I believe that we should pursue our passions while we are still young. We should follow our dreams and make them come true no matter how long it takes, as long as we are happy with the results.

There is no doubt that passionate people will continue what they're up to. Even they're already aging as long as the passion is doable, they'll do it whatever it takes.

Before it is too late, I believe that we should pursue our passions while we are still young. We should follow our dreams and make them come true no matter how long it takes, as long as we are happy with the results.

I agree to that, because I've seen old people that has never done what they love to do and they can't do it anymore because of their limited strength and resouces.

That's why we're learning from them and they're also telling and giving advise that we should do what we're passionate with no matter what it takes.

It is true that age does depreciate many people of their dreams, guess many get to the point where they accept "that ship" has passed them by.  But you have the few who preserve and against all odds achieve in their advanced years, however this is atypical and kudos to them.

If it is about body, then it turns to mind because your body can't take it for too long, after all we do not hear "65 year old starts running and beats Hussain Bolt" anywhere and it would never happen. But art, business, and many things like that could always end up getting better with age, because if you do it once, you do it again without those same mistakes again, and third time it's even better and by fourth it's even better and it goes on like that.

So, it's clear that there are some things in life that you could be amazing at if you just give your all, and that is why it's much better if you could end up something much more proper that way.

Age has being a factor depreciating some people in vitualising their dreams. They keep saying "I'm too old to go school", I'm too old to start a new career", I'm too old to start a business". This make them remain stagnant throughout their life time. Age does define success as success comes in all forms. An adage says "when there is life, there is hope". That means success can still be actualized at any age so far ones is still healthy. Let's consider the list of 5 successful people who found success and achieve their dreams at above 60s:

Psychologically, people who have aged have memory and ways of thinking that are getting slower, this is clearly driven by age. Several studies that I read, it turns out that people who are elderly have limitations in thinking, acting and doing things so quickly.
So that at this time elderly people are considered no longer potential in career development and achieving success.

From the few people you mentioned, it doesn't represent 50% of the elderly people on earth who can achieve success.
If you calculate the success rate of elderly people around the world, there is no correlation between old age and total success.
This is in line with the vision and mission of large companies, that retirement is determined at an age that is no longer productive at work, but most people are no longer productive when they are in the elderly category.

1. Frank McCourt
2. Harry Bernstein
3. Anna Mary
4. Laura Ingalls
5. Wally Blume

Only a few percentages of the examples you give, but if you calculate the whole world for elderly people, then the examples are not very precise and accurate in my opinion

CONCLUSION
Don't let age be an obstacle in achieving your dream. It's not to late. Neglect your age and let passion move you towards achieving your desired dreams.

Thus, old age can be said to be unproductive in career development and achievement of the value of success.
The successful cases you mention don't represent 50% of parents in my opinion.
And it can be concluded that the five examples you mention, have a good fate line, and the process they go through is a perfect timing and hand line.

This topic had indeed given me some hope and inspiration in my bid to begin software development journey at 40+, I now understand that age isn't a barrier to achieving one's aims and objectives, I believe as a STEM oriented fellow and a physics teacher I think I am going to get on well with my programming expedition as I embark on it at this age, I feel motivated to start learning C# which is my main preferred language and I also intended to learn it after closing from daily job, I had also read a lot of motivational topics about learning programming at a later age isn't a barrier towards achieving or being successful, it's up to individual full commitment and dedication.

Don't let age be an obstacle in achieving your dream. It's not to late. Neglect your age and let passion move you towards achieving your desired dreams.

It should rather be that we must not let people dictate us from doing what we want to do because environment also contributes to the factor for some people to not achieve their dreams. The pressure from the people around them to do this or that and just follow the norm of the society makes them forget what they really want. By the time they realize their mistake, they already have too many responsibilities to take care in life.

It’s not bad to consider other people’s opinions and ideas but in the end, you should still have the final decision. However, age and the environment are big factors that could contribute to one person’s success or failure. That is why we should always be cautious from choosing which decisions to make so that there will be no regrets in the future. And for that, the lesson we gained from our past experiences could be very helpful in determining our future success.

Success is something that could be achieved whatever age you are ending up with because we do have indeed different level or types of goals in life but mostly it would really be talking about having financial freedom.

It would really be just normal that it might take up some time, it will vary on how much hard work and time you had put in.Sometimes it does really need some a little luck for these things to happen.
WE cant fully rely on luck and just pure hard work.Just dont make yourself that too hopeful or been anticipating for positive results because everything wont really
be guaranteed that it would happen along the way.

I like that sentiment. At the end of the day, it's still you who can decide, considering all those factors that may affect you, but the decision to proceed in achieving your success still depends on how you project your future goals. If you really wanted to move forward and be successful in your chosen field, no one can stop you. As long as you have all the resources and you have the kind of mentalities not to stop learning, it's you who will decide your fate.

Don't be bothered unless there are case to case basis or any hindrances that are unavoidable, otherwise just proceed and be mindful of your own success.

Age matters and age can deprived a success. Yeah i know that many will not this suggestion, it's better to start pursuing your dreams in youthful age, because people brain get depreciate in reasoning when the are aged, their is some certain things you not be able to achieve when you are aged, so some of us saying that age are like numbers, i will agree with you but it's not when you are above 68 to 70 years, because the functionality of someone that's at age bracket 28 to 30 and 40 year's method of creativity can't be as much as someone of age of 68 to 70 years, their thinking faculty will not be same. It's good to work your target against your age, because looking at the world today most of the people who invents the major things today are not aged before their invention, so let us use that as case of study. Let it be as results of encouragement to our new children.

It's true that the brain depreciates over time but once a skill is learned then, there isn't much brain required compared to once you started learning a skill.
Another thing that happens is the person sometimes loses interest as they can't keep up with their peers.
40 years is what I would say is the best "by the time" I mean, by 40 a person should be a master in what they do.

If you learn a skill, you need your brain to be creative most of the time, you can't learn how to cut fabric the way you were thought and then apply that notion for the rest of your life, modernization comes through improvement, you have to step up your game to match the standards. Crypto is one of the clear examples of how things are no longer the same as they were in 2009, when bitcoin was created, we only had a legacy wallet as an address but today we have an improvement because of the creativity of some brains, even if Satoshi did not do some of those improvements, the brain is required for life improvement.

with age comes wisdom and success.
But that is a package - sometimes person become so egoistic that they forgot that in their anger and ego they are burning  their own blood and destroying the peace of mind of the other people too

Yep, older people mostly become wiser and have a bigger chance to succeed because of their good attitude. But it is true that some of them can be more egoistic because they think they have more knowledge and experience. This is sometimes an obstacle to success, some old people aren't open-minded. They don't want to wait for a long time, and don't want to have an investment with a too high risk like Bitcoin. Actually, it is not only for old people, it is also happening to young people, too. Sure, it will be difficult to succeed once someone can't control his ego and anger.

[ChiBitCTy]

This is a good reminder to never say you’ll too old for this or that. Even though I know I’m not old, I’m also no spring chicken anymore and sometimes think to myself “I’m too old to do this, or I’m too old to do that”, most in regards to work type stuff, but this is an important reminder that it’s never too late to change jobs, or careers and continue to pursue things that you enjoy or are your passion.

[Bitcoin2009]

Passion is really something, don't you think? Any person, regardless of age, can create wonderful things out of passio and love for what they do.

There is no doubt that passionate people will continue what they're up to. Even they're already aging as long as the passion is doable, they'll do it whatever it takes.

If it is about body, then it turns to mind because your body can't take it for too long, after all we do not hear "65 year old starts running and beats Hussain Bolt" anywhere and it would never happen.

Actually the older we get the wiser, not everything we want or hope for can be fulfilled and this proves we are full of limitations, and believe that death will come soon and as believers we must prepare provisions for eternal life.

A dream is something that other people want to achieve in their life. However, in its achievement, there are situations that make us become depressed, give up, also think whether there is hope to reach that dream. Some people think about giving up on their dreams, but there are also some people who don't give up. The person who reaches his dream, but he still hasn't succeeded, until his age is increasing from year to year, even though he still hasn't succeeded in reaching it, but he is determined not to give up on his dream, but surely one day he will succeed, even though he is already a bit old. old. Achieving a dream is something that requires struggle. Ignore your age, in reaching your goals. If you continue to have ambitions about an increasing age range, but the dream has not succeeded, surely the first thought is to give up. So, age is not something that hinders. The big regret is regret, doing nothing, while there is still time and opportunity.

Yes, that's right, sometimes people feel old and can't do anything because they are old, and they just want to enjoy the rest of their lives, but not a few people can achieve their dreams when they are old, because they just realized it. he. the potential that exists in them is when they enter old age, and for sure age is not an obstacle to success

Age they  say is a number I don't think age is something that should stop us from starting a business or focusing on our dreams but most people today feel reluctant to go out for their goals because they felt they might be older than what they intend doing which is very bad most great men today succeeded today not because they were meant to succeed they already had In mind to be successful in life and it didn't just start immediately it is something they have been thinking about since when  they were younger and it came to pass most people get tired on the way because they felt everything comes easy

I agree, you can start a business at any age. Sometimes you become a successful businessman at the age of 11, and the children of chimney sweepers in 1900 started cleaning pipes at the age of 3. Trump failed many times but found the strength to start again. My father started a new business at age 70. It's about the man and his character, not his age.

Exactly mate and I've personally seen a 67 years old man who started a restaurant business and it did thrived so well and today his children are feeding in the profits from such business and I even wondered what would have happened if the 67 years old man gave up hope and never started the business, I always pick up courage from the story of this man and constantly remind myself that no time is late and all I have to do is make a move and I always prefer to start and fail  rather than not start and make some silly assumptions.
In conclusion, age is never a barrier but rather just a number

Yep, older people mostly become wiser and have a bigger chance to succeed because of their good attitude.

With all due respect, I think foolishness isn't a respecter of any one, as there are fools who also grow old, hence age isn't a guaranty of wiseness.

[alastantiger]

I concur with you that age consideration has drastically caused many individual not to reach their expected height or goal in life.
I know of a man who refuse to further his education because of his age. I began to wonder if age is a determinant of goals or success in life.
The only hinderance i can imagine or that can determine or depreciate my goal in life is death. Or maybe my bones are weak.
As long as am walking with my legs and air in my lungs, every dream is achievable

I saw it as alibi or just a some bs reasons whenever they mentioned age when talking about success or following their dreams. The age for me is not a factor, it doesn't determine what you can achieve in your life. Everything comes from a price and you can achieve anything that you want as long as you have desires and have faith that you can achieve it. I have experience with it when I said to my family that I will be the richest man in our bloodline and I said I'll never apply in 8-5 job, they laugh at me and now I proved them that they are wrong. They said I need a lot of experiences and many years of working just for me to achieve some specific money but they are wrong because I spend 1 hour every single DAY on how can I increase my service for me to increase my income. I'm still young and I'm now earning 10x of the minimum wage, I'm grateful to things that I have and it is the proof that age is not a factor for the success. You can become successful even if you are in teens, you can become successful in your 30s, you can be successful even if you reached 60s or 70s. If I will summarize what I said, You can become successful at any age and any stage of your life as long as you have DESIRES and FAITH on yourself. Consistency is also a factor, hardship cannot be avoided you should have endurance to overcome it and eventually success will come to you.
