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.

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.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.

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.
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.
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. There are people who think that life stops when they'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
Well, not everyone is like the people on the list, imagine if this world is just businessmen, it's a boring and depraved world. It's not like everyone has the ability to do business and if so then how come there are start ups that fail and how come small companies are sold to bigger companies instead of growing as a big one?
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.

Sometimes being too old is just true. It does not mean that you cannot accomplish or learn, it means that the value is inevitably less because you will not use as much any new learnt skill, simply because you have less life time to do so. You of course can go to university with 70 years if you want, but you have little time left and possibly little chance to put that effort to good use.
Immanuel Kant wrote the book "Kritik der reinen Vernunft" at the age of 57. He put an end to some of the discussions that have plagued us since Plato. But he didn't suddenly use this huge hammer at the age of 57. He accomplished a great job by being in the right place at the right time, on top of 57 years of experience. I agree with the main idea stated in the subject, but I would like to add that it is more possible for people who have accumulated their knowledge and experience in the background to achieve such successes. People who have accumulated years of experience can make the right moves at the right time. Age doesn't matter to them.
Writing books in old age is a very smart choice. On the contrary, it is very strange to see books by young writers who talk about their life experiences. If we consider that Kant was also a "psychologist", then the books written by him are a gift to humanity for all his works.
But if we talk about ordinary older people who deny learning at their age, complaining that they are not able to learn something, or are simply unwilling to do something, thereby they bring the onset of senile dementia closer, although by training the brain you can easily push this disease away.

Of a truth success isn't age based. Determination, diligence and persistence is what makes the difference. But for those advanced in age to become successful it will require a lot of extra effort compared to the younger ones and most times the stress and humiliation that comes with learning at old age can be discouraging. Encouragement from the younger ones to any old individual learning will go a long way both to keep them focused and to nurture their visions. Most time this senior citizens are more zealous than the younger ones when it comes to learning and because responsibilities are limiting their passions the settle for less
Sometimes a golden opportunity actually comes in old age, unfortunately not everyone has the opportunity as you have described above. Basically everyone wants to be successful, every success starts from a dream. But dreams will not come true without effort, and every effort made will pay off. The successes obtained by Frank McCourt, Harry Bernstein, Anna Mary, Laura Ingalls and Wally Blume can be used as inspiration for others, because nothing is impossible if we keep fighting and trying.
Maybe some of the tips below can encourage anyone who has the desire to succeed, of course, must try to make it happen even though they have experienced failure in the past.
Maybe some of the tips below can encourage anyone who has the desire to succeed, of course, must try to make it happen even though they have experienced failure in the past.
- Throw away the lazy nature, start to do useful things even on a small scale.
- Always be optimistic about something difficult, because being optimistic will encourage you to go through something that is considered difficult and make us mentally strong.
- Always take advantage of the slightest opportunity that is in front of your eyes, everything can be achieved with effort, no matter how difficult the obstacles are, there will be a solution.
- Success can be achieved with an unyielding attitude, someone who has the intention to succeed, of course, will try to make it happen even though he has to wait a long time.
Age can't be used as an excuse to stop trying to achieve success. and in addition to the people mentioned by Op above. there are still many people who achieve success even though they are not young anymore. This is really good writing to build motivation in ourselves as readers. If people who are elderly can be successful because they never give up. then we too young people can do it.

One's dream and passion are everything. I believe that if you are passionate about doing the things you love most, regardless of your age or whatever challenges you may have, you will work hard and generate excellent results. Age is only a number; anyone, regardless of age or appearance, can pursue their dreams and passions.
age can be a factor and most of the time prevents an old man doing what he does best. some old people realize it too late and starts doing it before dying. its why some bloggers have the bucket list to fulfill. because age may just be a number but the physical health will be the biggest factor.
for the young and with opportunity, but wasted the opportunity. he will look back to it and could see, it would have been the right time. many of the people realize it too late. there are many factors. some old men blames their wife before their wife stopped them from pursuing a career abroad for instance.

As some would have it, age is just a number, and when it comes to fulfilling a dream, age would just have to go along for the trip with the mind, body, and spirit. Humans have the divinely endowed capacity to indulge in a supposedly restless desire.
I'd agree it was a big factor that could affect our mindset as well.
Like saying that "I was Old to go to school" some people will say that they are not prioritizing to going school but instead, they have to find a job to provide for their family.
Some reasons are:
* afraid - of being bullied, being looked down, afraid to face challenges
* priorities - there is something it needs more attention
* capabilities - they are not suitable for that certain job, carrier, or don't have the energy to perform their task

The most notable person for me is the owner of KFC, Colonel Sanders. He should be part of that top 5 and one of the most successful when he's thought that it won't happen to him.
I agree that success can be in all forms and that's why those that are thinking that they're quite old for something to do, they should just do it without any ifs and reasons.
Especially today in digital time, there could be a lot of ways to become successful. I see old people that are successful being a content creator in social media and they're loving and having fun with what they do.

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.
