It is never late to try...

*We have so many beliefs based on age which has placed so many restrictions on us as humans, I don't know why deadlines were made for a particular age bracket but it is a very idea to condemn a particular age bracket.* ***I will be focusing more on achieving success in the post.*** *I have many times seen people get written off because of their age and start hearing things like:-*  "At what age are you trying to get a degree?" It is better to do something meaningful with your life and time. "At what age are you trying to start a business? It is better to keep your money and spend it gradually till death comes knocking. "At what age are you trying to get married? you are too old for marriage. *Because you didn't go to school when others are going doesn't mean you can't go and achieve success from it, because you are didn't get married at a younger age doesn't mean you won't find the right spouse or have a happy home, because you didn't start your business early doesn't mean it won't succeed.*

***Age is just a number when you have your mindset on achieving greatness in life.***

After secondary school, I had some financial challenges that couldn't make me proceed with my education when all my mates did. I became a laughing stock among my friends because most of them were not happy with the way I was celebrated during our graduation. While they were in school, I was working hard to save funds for my education. When I was ready to further my education, some were through while some even got employment already. It hurts but the pain was bearable, I wanted to get discouraged at a point because it felt I not be able to cope since I haven't read in a long time because my work was very tedious. I wrote my exams and passed, I got admission to a polytechnic and was shuttling between work and school. Despite the challenge, I graduated with upper credit. The delay doesn't mean it won't be possible, it doesn't mean that it won't happen, it has to do with your mental state as well because if you think you can do anymore, you won't and if you believe that you will, it will happen. I observed that people put into consideration what others will say about them and that will make them miss out on the reasonable things they are supposed to do with their lives.

*I am sure many of us would have read the story of* *Colonel* Harland *David Sanders**, the man who got fired at several jobs but he never got tired of trying to create something unique when his mates were retiring, he believed there was more in him that can be given to the world.* http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2019218,00.html *Today, he might be gone but would still be remembered and honored for his Chicken recipe that is available in almost all parts of the world.* ***"Kentucky Fried Chicken"***

***Your age is not an excuse for not trying to fulfill your dreams because success has no age limit.***

*Cristiano Ronaldo is a living legend whose life story inspires me a lot, recently he surpassed a created another record which I feel will be impossible for any player to break and the funny thing is that he keeps doing this unique thing every season.*

I am sure we are all aware that there are aged people on the platform who are doing great, I know they could have said "blogging belongs to the youth" but they didn't think in that direction. The best part of it is that they are doing better than we the youth because they do their things very care and are close to perfection, the knowledge and experience serves a blessing to us on all platform. **What do you need to do?** *Set your heart towards your dreams and work towards them regardless of your age, if we keep climbing - we will get to the top someday.* **Lead image**. https://unsplash.com/photos/ItphH2lGzuI
