Forget your age. Age is not important unless you’re a bottle of wine.
  • Ted Williams at age 42 when he slammed a home run - his last official time at bat.
  • Mickey Mantle at age 20 hit 23 home runs his first full year in the major leagues.
  • Golda Meyer was 71 when she became prime minister of Israel.
  • William Pitt was 24 when he became prime minister of Great Britain.
  • George Bernard Shaw was 94 before his first play was ever produced on Broadway.
  • Mozart was just seven when his first composition was published.
  • How about Benjamin Franklin?  He was a newspaper columnist at 16 and a framer of the United States Constitution when he was 81.
  • Michael Angelo started the Sistine Chapel at age 61.
  • Winston Churchill was 65 when he was asked to form a cabinet and lead England through WWII
You're never too young and you're never too old if you’ve got talent!

“Age is mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."
Satchel Paige, US baseball player (1906 - 1982)

Regardless of your age, you have barely scratched the surface of your real potential!
