"You aren't old until age becomes your excuse. If you continue to remind yourself of your age and use it as a crutch, no matter what that number is, you'll come to believe that high achievement is impossible. That's probably the way your parents saw the world. Mine did. In my parents' day, after a certain age you weren't expected to do anything strenuous. Gardening and a walk around the block was about as tough as it got. Just grow old, get fat, and accept that as the way life is. You can have that if you want but it doesn't have to be that way." ~Joe Friel
