Being Old Is No Reason To Quit
People may begin to seem old at fifty years of age, but that is still young.
The American Association of Retired Persons starts to invite people to join the organization at or before they reach the age of fifty.
Professional golfers may be eligible for the Champions Tour (formerly the Senior Tour) at age fifty.
People who have reached the ripe old age of sixty or seventy are often referred to as elderly even though they may not feel or look that old.
Although fifty still seems to be quite a young age for those who have passed that threshold, it may be the beginning of old age and inevitably becoming a senior citizen.
Hopefully, by that time people have saved something for retirement and will aggressively plan for the "golden years.
" Recently I received a "forward" email which contained some words of wisdom regarding becoming old.
George Burns is credited with saying: "You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get OLD.
" An anonymous saying was: "Age is mind over matter.
If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
" Abraham Lincoln is reported to have said regarding age: "It's not the years in your life that count.
It's the life in your years.
" It is not necessary to act as old as your years.
With all the amazing products on the market today, people do not even need to look as old as they really are.
Anti-aging and nutritional products have become increasingly popular as the baby boomer generation has started to become senior citizens.
Being old is no reason to quit living life to its fullest.
It is generally not necessary to quit working although some professions have mandatory retirement at a certain age.
If that happens to a person, it is possible to keep working in another area such as a home based business.
Millions of people are starting home based businesses as the economy suffers and people are hurting financially.
Network marketing and online marketing are two popular areas in which senior citizens or anyone can start a business of their own for little financial outlay.
With flexible hours and the opportunity to work from home at one's own pace, a home based business may be a way for older people to stay productive and to earn money which may be necessary as income from other sources dwindles.
There is nothing stopping an older person (or for that matter a young person) from finding success in today's marketplace.
It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but it is entirely possible.
People who are willing to make the effort can find success no matter what age they may be.
Nothing needs to stand in their way or stop them from continuing to be winners at the game of life.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
