Age as a factor depreciating some people of their dreams

[Fortify]

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.

It is only natural that age will prevent you reaching some dreams. Many people would love to become a millionaire before they are 30 and that dream is almost always shattered. People want to become a millionaire by such an age because the body goes into a slow but steady decline. To ignore that is to ignore reality, it is better to embrace and accept it rather than deny the truth. Dreams can also change over time, those things that we thought were most important when we were young may no longer be important as you get older. Many older people would happily trade half of their wealth to get some of their health back because it can get debilitating.

I have lots of regrets in my career, and I've always wondered if I can start again and pursue a math-centric career or perhaps just write some code. Ultimately, I just brush it off because it is not economical and impractical since I would have to leave my work just to study college again. I am really amazed with programming and algorithms but I can no longer find the time to focus on it since I have a full time work and some small businesses to attend to. And perhaps I share the same reason why people no longer pursue their dreams due to age because it is impractical and takes a longer time to bear some results. It is a valid reason IMO, and if we are only given a choice, we'd surely pursue what we love to do and make a career out of it.

As easy as it may sound, I find it a cliché. Don't get me wrong, I support that you should do whatever pleases you despite your age, but usually, we don't have the courage nor the stamina to do it. Personally, I was interested in participating in another bachelor's program regarding environmental and climate change, a doctoral degree perhaps, or at least a second Master's degree. I don't want learning to stop. We should constantly acquire new knowledge. That's how I see things. However, after spending 5+2 years studying and working throughout most of my university years, I can't find the courage to continue. I'm not in the right mental state nor have I settled on what I want to do in the future.

I always had trouble making decisions. Taking a decision that concerns your future career path is extremely challenging and one that I'm currently incapable of making. I'd appreciate any advice, but personally, it looks hopeless to me.

[Scripture]

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.

People who is dedicated to pursue their goal no matter how old, poor or rich they become they will sure find a way to conquer and be successful in it. It’s good that we have a goal that we are aiming to reach so we have something to look forward in life. Once we stop creating dreams life will be boring and seems no point at all so as we age we must know whether we’re doing what we really desire that makes us happy and glad we pursue it.

We fail because we stop dreaming but if you really want to pursue something, at any age you can still achieve it as long as you believe nothing is impossible. There’s a lot of successful people today that started from the scratch and they just get the taste of success at the old age but still their desire to achieve it is there and nothing can stop them. We all have our own success stories at a different time, we might not be able to see success right now but soon it will come, just continue to dream and don’t stop working for that.

Unfortunately, not everything can be started at a later age. Practicing a particular sport or learning a complex musical instrument is not an easy task, even for those at a young age.
In addition to the people mentioned in the list, there are many who have succeeded in achieving great achievements at an advanced age. I can mention the Messenger of Islam “Muhammad” who started his call to a new religion after he was over forty and succeeded in establishing a new religion that is believed by hundreds of millions around the world today (the third most prevalent religion today).
Age is not an obstacle to learning something new. The important thing is that the person has the necessary mental capabilities .

With age comes that inevitable of depreciation in all sorts of mental and physical health. While there may be people who achieved success as they aged, there are far more people who have achieved the same result but in a younger age! Though the point of this thread was to encourage everyone that success is relative, everyone should always have that goal and aim to strive for the better.

In associating it with cryptocurrency, we will never know when its price may actually skyrocket again due to its unpredictable nature. But what matters is that we are already have the investment and we believe that its price would increase in the future.

Everyone does have the chance on achieving their goals and targets in life despite on what age they would able to do so.It is really just people do really find out to be that odd then this is where they do

make out some conclusions that it wasnt worth nor not even possible but there are people who do able to attain up such success despite of the age that they do have.

Age wasnt a factor because if someone do really wants to reach out something then you would really work hard for it and it doesnt matter if it would last long or not.

Looking at the experience of others throughout history, it is not possible to count the large number of people who discovered their talents at a late age or began working to achieve their dreams at an advanced age. Just as circumstances serve young people to achieve their goals early, circumstances may prevent others from achieving the simplest goals until a later age.
Even in the heavenly religions, almost all the prophets began to call for new religions after they reached the age of forty (the age of forty is called the age of maturity for some sects in Christianity and Islam).
I will always insist that age is just a number if the will is available .

[Ludmilla_rose1995]

whatever it is, what moves people to achieve their dreams is themselves. the number of elderly people who stop dreaming when they are old is usually caused by many factors and on average it is a health problem. Dreams are one's driving wheel to become a better person from day to day, it's really regrettable if someone stops dreaming just because of old age and declining health.

[freedomgo]

I don't see anything surprising or "unnatural"! If you are not paralyzed and are not completely incapacitated, there will always be an opportunity to either learn something new, or apply the previously accumulated experience to something. Of course, you should not try to become a povermen at 95, or an astronaut at 100 - there simply physiological limitations will become an obstacle, but intelligence can be used at virtually any age and in any condition!

Well, there are no rules in life that people at the age of 50 or 60 above should stop seizing life’s opportunities. They can always chose to chase for it and continue to reach their set goals and live their dreams regardless of their old age. However, only few of these people still manage to reach exceptional achievements in life since most of them are just enjoying the years left before they pass away.

[Viscore]

Those are the perfect timing for them and we can all have that golden opportunity so when it knocks to our door better to grad that opportunity right away. We may not experience the same thing but those stories can be a good motivation to us not to give up easily. Those successful people also came from the bottom and that is something to look for, we can have our own time just keep on working and work wisely.

Probably it is since there are still some people in their golden age manage to live their lives at its very best. Though this is not possible for some who have been experiencing serious illnesses at their old age, but for those who think that they are still capable to reach another heights in life and continue to make remarks achievements, I guess they can still be success as long as the passion and determination is there.

[nurilham]

I agree that old age isn't an obstacle to starting a new career or dreaming of something. As far as someone has a strong intention and wants to struggle seriously, nothing is impossible to achieve success in old age. Those successful people you shared above, are only a few examples of successful people in old age. There should be many people who succeed in their careers although they are already 50+ years old. Old age shouldn't be a problem for people who have a serious intention to achieve their dreams.

[Russlenat]

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.

People do not just reach success not only because of motivation but also because of the inner interest and passion that they have been keeping all along thinking that this old age will bring them only less opportunities compared to young ones. Though it’s quite true for some reasons, but if you think you are still able and have the capabilities to push through and become successful, then why not. After all, age is just a number, it won’t determine your achievements in life.

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.

That’s mostly the outcome if you let others control your life and dictate what you should have to do. When the fact is, you are the only one responsible of your own life and your ow n actions. If we consider the norm, when you reached the golden age, you should be enjoying your retirement, but to be honest, if you are not paralyzed and you still have the potentials to pursue your dreams in life, then just keep on doing so until you reach  another heights in life.

Not really that bad if you do really consider out on listening on others suggestion and recommendation but not into the point that you would really be relying of those information for you to consider when
making up decisions.Doesnt matter on what age you do have or how early or sooner you had able to start because success wont really be determining on what age you should really have.
The early the better but there are ones who do took long time for them to start out or even those who had started early but success do really comes too soon.It does vary thats why
we cant really make out any direct conclusions something like this and like that since we dont know the story behind their success at those age.

That is a good advice for anybody who is struggling with getting older. Age should never be a deciding factor when it comes to our passions. We are living now in the best period humans have ever lived in terms of medical treatment and life expectancy. There are so many people these days reaching 90 or even 100 years and still be fit and clear in their mind. Also there a lot of mobility sultions now which make it much easier for older people to get around. I noticed this in my home town that the university is providing more and more courses for elderly people. There are extra courses only for the elderly that even offer diplomas. It's a great way to keep people engaged in learning and also to give them another purpose in life. The worst thing we can do is to stop and not learn anything new. The human brain is designed to be used every day and learn something new, if we stop with it, our functions are going to decline. Passions it was keep us young, we should be following them as long as possible.

I remember the quote from Henry Ford "It's never old to learn!".
Age is just a number but that doesn't mean we are free from creativity. The key is learning because regardless of any strong desire and hard work accompanied by the learning gained will certainly produce positive results in the end.
Not a few people who are successful at their age can be said to be old but this also depends on a strong desire and determination because logically it must take hard work and a strong desire, we must be tired first in order to achieve the results we sow.

This is what everyone must realize and pay attention to that our lives are in our own hands,
so when we are continuously dependent on others, of course that is something that is not good,
taking responsibility for ourselves is a must

It's true that age shouldn't be an obstacle in achieving your dreams, but I think it depends on what your dreams are. If you dream of becoming an athlete or a bodybuilder, but your age is too old, your health does not meet the needs to start, here age is the most obvious obstacle. You can still ignore the age issue to begin with, but you will have to take the risks that the job creates. If risk assessments are beyond your ability to perform, you should ignore them. So, when you are young, your enthusiasm is still full, do everything you dream of, don't wait until you are old to regret it.

[Poker Player]

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.

I completely agree with what you say, and, moreover, we cannot take these examples as the norm. For me the moral is not to put barriers on yourself as you get older regarding your goals or what you can do, but always being realistic and aware of your goals.

whatever it is, what moves people to achieve their dreams is themselves. the number of elderly people who stop dreaming when they are old is usually caused by many factors and on average it is a health problem. Dreams are one's driving wheel to become a better person from day to day, it's really regrettable if someone stops dreaming just because of old age and declining health.

Well, there are times when circumstances push you to it. If you are 100 years old, you live in a bed, multimedicated, all the close people of your close age such as childhood friends and relatives have died, your children and some grandchildren have also died and you live full of pain despite mediation, the normal is that you do not have many illusions and you are thinking more about eternal rest.

[el kaka22]

^ That is why I am trying to do as well, that's how I know. I am planning on working super hard until I am retired, and hopefully retire at a young age, not like 30-40, I am already there, but like 50-55 hopefully but at worst 60 years old. After that I am going to not think about money since I will be retired and from that position of power I will be able to do whatever I want.

I have some ideas, which can be done right now as well but that doesn't change the fact that I do not have the time for it right now, it would require a lot of time, and I am working right now to support my life, when I no longer need it, I will be able to do what I want and maybe it will worth money.
