Age as a factor depreciating some people of their dreams

[DrBeer]

There are people who think that life stops when they're getting old. They're afraid that they can't reach their dreams anymore because of their age which is actually wrong. Age is just a number and what we need is motivation. To be honest, there are really dreams that we can't reach due to our age but there are still goals that we can achieve like buying our dream house, traveling, and so on. We can still fill our bucket lists so we should never lose hope when we're getting old.

Her old age is not in the passport in the column "date of birth". Old age is in the SOUL. Therefore, you can be an old man at 20, and young and full of ideas and goals - at 85 and 90! So the only real limitations of age are probably poor physiological or mental health. Which is often the result of not the most reasonable type of life in youth

It's because they are no longer that active and stronger than before. That's why there's that belief that when you grow older, you're limited to do things but they are just stopping themselves because it is what's on their mind not until they do it on their own. And then they will realize that they can do so many things as they've grown older and they're the only ones that are stopping every potential that they can do. They are also the ones to prove it to themselves if they want to.

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:

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.

While age should never stop someone from trying anything, being realistic the older you get the more difficult it is to do certain things - whether that is due to losing mobility or even being able to capitalize on longer periods of time available. Take the compounding effect of investing for example, the longer you have to keep your money in companies, the more they will profit and the more your own profit will grow. An investment pot where you are adding $1k to it per month for 10 years will obviously grow much bigger than trying to start it tomorrow. Physically we also get weaker as we get older, so better to do as much as possible while you're young if you want to experience the most in life.

Age may be a factor for some people while it is not for others. Age is what some see as a factor not to take step and for orders, it can't stop them. A procrastinator see age as an excuse not to work while he who is not lazy get to try, This is a simple analysis of whet it is with age . Procrastination is the factor that can hinder dreams and not age.

Age may be a factor for some people, while it's not for others. Every dream is not for any age, so for some kind of success, age really matters, but it is not the end of life. Because sometimes keeping plan B is a good thing too. Setting goals makes people more enthusiastic at every age. If we consider age is really a factor in depreciating people's dreams, then experience is questionable here. Remember this, every experience makes you grow.

I think it depends too if what is the career you are trying to pursue. As we can see most of the careers in the op are writing. That is because there is no age limit in writing. Young or old, you can always do it or get hired with it but of course as long as you have a passion for it. There is one guy in the list who do business.

There is also no age limit in doing a business but in fact many businessmen/women are adults. Right that there is always a plan b when we can't fit with the plan a. In short, try those careers who don't have an age limit and who knows, you might also like them and you will be shocked that you have a hidden talent at it.

I agree age is a decisive factor in many cases. When we are young we have will and determination to work at low paying jobs, we can accept low standards, but always hoping it's going to be temporary and just a phase until we achieve something bigger and better. However, as the time goes by, if there are no improvements in our lives we lose determination, focus and will, because life somehow loses its meaning. Then everything you did before with a lot of energy and joy becomes boring, meaningless and a heavy burden that takes us to nowhere.

That is the weight of age over the shoulders of human beings. These examples mentioned on this thread are exceptions to the rule.

This will always end up with your mindset and how you approach things. Many old people still not giving up about their dreams while the others already accepted their defeat in life which is too bad for them. Age doesn’t matter, we can achieve things at any age as long as we are determined to do so, let’s not be discouraged because of our age, we can still work things out and yes experience will always make us grow for the better.

This is true, and it has happened because of the fact that there are some people who are successful even when they are old. But the problem in this case is that when we are faced with this in real life only a small number of people can make this happen and when in the world of work it is clear that companies will still look for people who are still very productive in their age except for those who have more experience.
It's true that we don't have to be fixated on age if we want to be successful, but the problem is that the stigma has changed now and like it or not, we have to accept and realize that age is one of the most important factors, especially in terms of work.

Agreed, age is a factor that determines their dreams. Because a person who dreamt of buying a car during his young age never think of it after certain age. This isn't happening with everyone, but most will have such mentality. If they weren't able to achieve it at some age, they move on focusing on something else. In particular the next dream that arise is to travel on his son's car. Based on the age this gets a transition and some stay strong and succeed of what they dream unlike the age.

Age makes a person more mature - with all the mistakes we do - we are a better and a more maturer person.
But the only bad thing about the age is the worry which is unmanageable as we grow old.
But I have now decided not to worry - regardless of anything

the main thing is age, no one knows how long we will live, and of course every human being has their own dreams, as humans who have goals, of course there will be achieved, delayed, or not achieved. from that journey, we can take the lesson that we must learn to be grateful, to keep our souls calm, as long as we try our best, of course there will be a lesson and regardless of the results.

[ethereumhunter]

We are all bound to get old and it's only a matter of time. But if we have a dream and want to achieve it, don't wait until we already have something to start now.

And if we feel it's too late to try to achieve our dreams, we better keep trying and don't give up because who knows, we could be lucky and make our dreams come true in our old age.

Never give up, or complain about anything if we want to achieve our dreams because it will be a long journey that we have to go through. If we really want to achieve it, then just try.

[Cookdata]

If you believe you are too old to accomplish anything, I do consider it as an excuse to bring it out for yourself. If you believe you are going to defy any odd times, you need the determination to overcome a lot of things.
What do you have to say about the standard age limitations that are put on jobs? At first, I assumed that's what you were talking about. When an age difference is used as a yardstick for measuring success, I believe that some people may not be able to realize their dreams since certain goals require external support.
Let's take the example of music. The artist may have a sweet, talented voice that produces a good melody, but in order to be recognized, you need sponsors and a reputable label to pay your bills because they believe in you. At the moment, I don't believe any record label in the US that tops the Apple Music chart and Billboard would want to sign an elderly person, I hope I'm making some sense.

The age factor can sometimes fade someone's hopes to achieve their dreams. it doesn't even happen to the elderly. but it also happens to people who are married. or people who already have family. like being a parent. sometimes parents will forget their dreams that have not been achieved and will focus more on helping their children to achieve their dreams.

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.

To achieve the desire, there is no age limit. it's never too late to start and learn, like some of the examples you've mentioned.  However, there will be times when we run, there are times when our spirits are passionate, there are times when we stop running to chase our dreams. but most importantly, don't let our steps stop in life.

There are some things that we can't stop including, the movement of time, the change of time, and we are getting old.
Broadly speaking what you say is true, but the older we get, the more there is no guarantee at all to pursue our dreams, the more limited because of the age factor. In contrast, those who are younger can get what they want because of the fruit of their efforts.

[palle11]

sometimes parents will forget their dreams that have not been achieved and will focus more on helping their children to achieve their dreams.

I think this can be regarded as the roll of a parent and not to say the parent forgot their dream. They suppose to help in the moulding and guiding of the child, children and family at large. Alongside side with the family dream, the parent can get their dream also accomplished not only doing the other and leaving one aside. The children rely on the family to direct them on how to lead their lives.

In my country, there is still a strong mindset that the old are those who should relax and retire with any activities...

persistent failures, economic factors, and support from the surrounding environment are the main factors for old people lazy to take advantage of their old age to produce works such as writing or drawing.

I have a neighbor who is 70 years old, after I investigated it turned out that when he was young he was a playwright but had stopped at the age of 40, now he is lazy to write scripts and prefers to do nothing at home.

[stomachgrowls]

Depends on the dream, isn't it? I mean if you want to be an NBA player you are not going to become one when you are 65 years old.

These people ended up building business', write, paint and so forth which never required young age to begin with, in fact being older meant wiser and have more time in your hands thanks to being retired and allow them to get more free time to practice and be better. My mother started painting after 60 as well, and suddenly she can paint, she didn't know how to draw stick guy, and now she paints views, all thanks to having free time and being much wiser to understand when studying how to be better at doing something.

We arent that dumb on having those kind of dreams which doesnt really correlate with our current age which it would really be that understandable that we cant really able to achieve it thats why we should

leave out and move on with that kind of goal or target in mind and accept that it cant really be just possible.Totally opposite when we are just young and not old but there are things in life which no matter

how hard we do try and persevere but it wouldnt really be still that enough or possible on achieving your goals but it doesnt really mean that you should stop midway.
At least you do try out.

This is a really inspiring topic, these stories give a huge positive charge to people who have lost an important success in their life, unfortunately people start feeling hopeless and frustrated when they get a bit old and think that the end is near and that they don't have time to achieve some success in things They love it, these stories are really inspiring to such people and may be a reason for many of them to start working towards a milestone in their life.

Most of the oldies lack motivation due to their age though they still have the strength and stamina to pursue their passion. They believe that it is getting late for them to pursue their dreams that's why in our country, most elderly people only rely on their children. They stop working because of the fear of discrimination and just have their children as a retirement funds.

We must also acknowledge that society treats the elderly as being disposable, so it is not really surprising that the elderly think of themselves in the same way, but the truth is that the amount of knowledge and experience people have accumulated over the decades they have been alive can make the elderly incredibly valuable and productive, it is just that society doesn't really appreciate them, and an example of this is the job market in which if you are above a certain age companies are not going to hire you regardless of how good you are at your job.

When you are getting older, if the chaotic stuff in your life leaves and you are left alone in a retirement world, where you just wake up and have nothing to do, then it would be quite difficult to get rid of the worry, because you would have nothing but worry in your life.

I mean think about it, if I buy bitcoin now and hold it for 10 years, I will think about it here and there but meanwhile I have to work every day, still travel, go out with friends, maybe spend good or bad time with my wife but basically do so many things that days are too short and not enough. Whereas when you are retired, you just wake up and start worrying because you have nothing to do, and that is scary and harder to do.
