Topic: Age as a factor depreciating some people of their dreams - page 2. (Read 1424 times)

Most of the time people have made themselves within specific circle. I'm stating the mindset of a common man from a third world country. Very few follow their passion whereas the majority live for the society. There is a timeline, within 25 years of age studies need to be completed. Within the next five years marriage and within 32 a baby and further run for the betterment of the family. Very few break this and follow their passion. This is where most of the people were unable to reach their dreams. Once again after their retirement they start a new life. Maybe by that time following the mentioned person's everyone can follow their dreams.

It is true that age is not something that limits us from achieving our dreams because we never know what will happen to us in the future, but don't let so many people achieve their dreams in their old age that it makes us lazy to try. achieve future dreams. our youth, never stop trying to achieve your deams

I want to agree with you, but to agree to this statement is to tell ourselves the partial truth. There are some dreams that are tied to certain age range after which those dreams become no longer achievable mainly because of your age. The sooner you realize this the better for you so you can work harder to achieve that dream while you still can. Imagine someone whose dream is to be a professional footballer of an athlete. If they passes a certain age, they will no longer be eligible to achieve their dream even if they do not let go of the dream.

 Know your dreams and determine if they are tied to time, if they are, work hard to achieve them while you still can, if they are not, then do not put yourself under too much unnecessary pressure.

Age is just a number but the real depreciating point of your life is when your health is not good and you are following a unhealthy lifestyle. Your lifestyle determines alot hos you'll love your old age , if you adapted a healthy, active lifestyle in your young age plus exercise then be sure you'll have a good old age and you can do anything you want at that time too .

You can't really blame them, most people sees age as not a number, but as a countdown for when things are "too late". That's why you'd see people giving up on their dreams, especially the old ones, I once rode an Uber on the way to work and the driver that drove me there talked about how he wanted to be a lawyer, but couldn't go back to that dream even though there's nothing that's really stopping him because he sees himself as "too old" for the craft. I felt defeated back then trying to talk him out of that silly notion but he seems indignant.

You can tell people that they can be whoever they wanted to be but it only goes so far, age, dreams, all of that comes to play. They can't be who they wanted to be if they don't want to be anything in the first place.

I certainly agree with you. As long as we have the strength to pursue our passion and to reach success then we shouldn't quit despite our age. The chance of being successful won't be hindered by age but rather by our lack of motivation to strive higher. We should never lose confidence if we are aging because as long as we are alive, we will always have the chance to reach our dreams.

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.

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

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


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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
