Dont let age keep you from taken action. Victor Hugo wrote his first tragedy at the age of 15, John de Medecci was 15 when he became a cardinal. Raphael painted his masterpiece before he died at age 37. Tennyson wrote his first volume of poetry at age 18. Pascal wrote his great works between the ages of 16 and his death at 37.

Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Newton formulated the law of gravitation at age 24 and Westinghouse invented the air brake at 23. Dickens was 24 when he wrote pickwick and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist.

Joan of Arc did her work and was burned at the stake at 19. Romulus founded Rome at 20. Calvin joined the Reformation at age 21 and wrote his famous Institutes at age 27. Alexander the Great had conquered his world by the time he was 33.

Age had nothing to do with the genius of these great people. They merely took full responsibility of their God given gifts and wasted no time as they maximized every opportunity to its fullest potential.

Even at old age, men still take action. Colonel Sanders opened his fast food joint at the age of 56 and still became a multi-millionaire. The time is now.

Life is short and things we want to do must be done without delay. The average lifetime is 3 score and 10 (70 years). That's a little less than 25,600 days.

It will take sometime to grow up, so by the time you are 20, you will have about 18,250 days remaining.
When you are 30, there are 14,600 days left to accomplish your goals.
At 40, the balance has decreased to about 11,000 days.
By 50, you are down to 7300.
And at 60, only 3,650 are left.
I'm not ignoring the fact that many people live well beyond 70, or that much can be accomplished after that age, but NOW is the morale of the story.
