AGE IS IRRELEVANT

It is never too late to begin! Don’t let age or circumstances of life deceive anyone into believing that is too late to begin. There is no magic age at which excellence emerges or when quality surfaces.

You are old when you stop learning either at 20 or 80 years old says one of the wise men. Let look at it from these two angles;

First, we think we are too young to be an Hero or make impact. Consider the following;

Alexander the great, at 32years in 323 B.C.E he conquered kings and made Greece the fifth World power. Gen. Yakubu Gowon was 30 years and unmarried when he became the Military Head of State in Nigeria. Charles Dickens was 25 years when he wrote his famous book Oliver Twist. Sir Isaac Newton was 24years when he formulated Law of gravity.

Second, we sometime think that creativity and invention belongs to the young, check this out; the patriarch Abraham ministry started at the age of ninety. Michelangelo painted his masterpiece between the ages of 71-89.

Ever heard of the eighteen/forty/sixty rule? When you are eighteen, you worry about what everybody’s thinking about you. When you are forty, you realize that it doesn’t really matter what they think about you. When you are sixty, it dawns on you that most of them weren’t thinking about you at all.

In most cases age don’t necessarily make us better, often it makes us rigid in our approach to life.
