Top Ten Answers to Prove You Are Never Too Old to Try Something New
Top Ten Answers to Prove You Are Never Too Old to Try Something New
Of all the beliefs that people have that limit them, the one I hear
most often is “I am too old to do that now.” Here are 10 examples of
people who had interesting achievements late in their lives. If you are
truly motivated to do something, you can achieve it no matter what your
age is. Happiness comes from doing what you love to do no matter what
your age.
1. Actor George Burns won his first Oscar at age 80.
2. Golda Meir was 71 when she became prime minister of Israel.
3. At age 96, playwright George Bernard Shaw broke his leg when he fell
out of a tree he was trimming in his backyard.
4. Painter Grandma Moses didn’t start painting until she was 80 years
old. She completed more than 1,500 paintings after that; 25 percent
were produced when she was past 100!
5. Michelangelo was 71 when he painted the Sistine Chapel.
6. Physician and humanitarian Albert Schweitzer was still performing
operations in his African hospital at 89.
7. Doc Counsilman at 58 became the oldest person ever to swim the
English Channel.
8. S. I. Hayakawa retired as president of San Francisco State
University at 70, and then was elected to the U.S. Senate.
9. Casey Stengel didn’t retire from managing the New York Mets until he
was 75.
10. Harland Sanders founded the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise at age
62. At 74 when he sold the franchise there were 600 outlets
nationwide.
