Topic: Age as a factor depreciating some people of their dreams - page 3. (Read 1466 times)
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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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. 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.
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.

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.

This is the same as we study in the teachings of my faith, we must learn from the time we are born until we die. And this is related to success for someone, because how can we be successful without learning? That's one thing that can't happen. So agreed that age is not an obstacle for us to be successful.
Everyone has a different standard of success. But now it seems that success has to do with money.

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.
in my country age is a major factor to achieve success in a career if in one company, but for independent / entrepreneurial success I think it is the same as the example you mentioned.
It's true that if you want to be successful, it doesn't look at age, but it must be based on intention and determination to the goal, namely Success
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!
You are quite right in what you say, Sir, disability should not be an obstacle to not reaching the dreams we want to achieve, there is always a way to achieve it.
I have seen and read many testimonies on social media, books, and others that they achieved their dreams because of determination and dedication, and of course above all they did not give up despite their disability if these This person has done this even if they have a physical problem or because of old age they did not look at it, how much more those who are not disabled and are not old.
Moreover, I will add to your opinion - people with disabilities are much more often more goal-oriented, and can achieve goals that are not achievable for people without such limitations. This is a consequence of their forced constant struggle, out of the most limited possibilities. An ordinary person is much more often lazy, and extremely rarely stubbornly achieves some small achievements.

Dreams will never stop even though we are get older, humans will continue to get older and will grow older, this is a law that has been established, when many dreams have not been achieved, we must be patient and realistic, it's better to be grateful for everything we already have.

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.I cannot fully agree with you.
If we talk about private business - companies and corporations are headed very often, just not 20-30 year old personalities, most owners are 40+ and much more.
With what I agree - the situation is if you are an employee. I’ll warn you right away - older people definitely lose to physiologically young people, where the physiological state is a key factor, for example, a loader, courier, etc. But these are positions where there is no need for high-quality experience, or the specifics are such that this experience is easy to get. The problem of a person aged for many employers is just the experience and formed opinion of a person. It is difficult to manipulate an adult, mature, experienced person. He has a clear motivation, a clear understanding of his position, and it is extremely difficult to feed him with empty promises. and it is extremely difficult to feed him with empty promises.
Another big detail is that not everyone may want to do something that would be profitable business ventures, maybe I want to wake up, drink some coffee, sleep, wake up again, eat dinner, watch netflix and sleep again? I mean why would that not be acceptable to the world? The world is so focused on making a rich life and unlocking all the possible things that could give you joy, that we sometimes forget to make joy out of what we already have. I personally focus on what I have, no matter how boring it may get, just because I already have them and enjoying them is easier than trying to get something much bigger "eventually".
without minding about money that you could really spend because you do know that it could really sustain on whatever things that you do tend to do.This is why we do always aim on having that financial freedom
since you could really do all sorts of things despite on what age you do have.The younger the better but people does have different perspective in life which some might be that common
and some would really be coming the other way around.
Yeah, it's depends from how they foresee their future even it's not on your early age as long as you have that goal you are capable to make it there's no limitation if you are keen to succeed, the idea of having that kind of setup is possible if you set everything right. Though even it's late, as long as you are still alive and you still have the resources better to continue and push things forward, you only failed once you stop, but if you keep moving, the chance of success is still on your side.
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.

It is good for people to pursue dreams and goals at the right time. As for those who didn't find it possible to achieve their goals it doesn't mean anytime they get opportunities to achieve their goals they shouldn't strive for it. Like I know of some people that didn’t have opportunity to go to school at the age they were supposed to go after education, they had to go after trade and business for survival and after some years they went back to school to have education. Age is never an option to stop people from achieving what they need I'm life. People have missed alot to consider that it is too late for them to achieve what they desire. At most if it is too much to go after what one may desires it can't be more 5 years. It won't take anything from anyone who want to go after things that they could not get when they were young at old age.

You have prepared a strategy for old age work, I really appreciate it because not everyone thinks about preparing for old age and they are so busy working at a young age even some of them don't have money to save for after retirement.
The most promising job in old age is to enjoy all kinds of investment returns that we do today. I don't think too much about how people can be successful in their old age, but investing is the first answer I think of.Yes, investing in anything that you think is profitable in the long run should be the best way to prepare your old age to look successful. It doesn't take much, if the investment is successful then the results will also be very useful. Success is just a different level for each person, so it can be of various kinds.
^ 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.
Did you know that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, those aged 60 years and over are still in the productive category of working as workers, so that even though you have retired at the age of 50, you can do non-institutional work for other professions, the data below shows the working age of 65 and 70 years respectively has grown to 117% in the last 5 years of 2014.

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.
