Age factor v/s dreams

Many of  Us(including ME) Believe THAT “ It is TOO LATE TO START ANYTHING NOW…..”

Few illustrative cases…

 

1.0 Sylvester Stallone            

                                            - 

He was a struggling actor in every definition. He was so broke he sold his wife’s jewelry! (She wasn’t happy about that of course).

His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any stranger. He didn’t have money to feed him anymore. He sold his dog for $25 after a guy bargained from $50. He said he walked away crying.

Two weeks later he saw a boxing match between the world champion Muhammed Ali and Chuck Wepner. Stallone had his idea for his movie. He sat down and wrote the screenplay for Rocky in 20 hours.

He tried to sell it. He got an offer for $125,000 for his scripttt! That money would have changed his life. He had one request. He wanted to star in the movie. The studio said no way. They wanted a real star. Not a guy who looked funny and talked funny. He left.

A few weeks later, they offered $250,000 then $325,000. They wanted his movie but not him. He said no. He was an actor first.

The studio agreed on giving him $35,000 for the screenplay and let him star in it.

The rest is movie history. It won Best Picture at the Oscars and took him to stardom.

He was 30 years old when Rocky was released.

 

2.0 MICHAEL HUSSEY (Mr. Cricket) – Made his Debut In international Cricket at The Age of  30.

And the list Goes on and on and on and on.....

 

Concluding with...................enlightened

BUT Actually AGE Is Just a NUMBER….  What’s important is how We feel.

The only reason We  think it’s too late to start is because that’s what we  grew up believing.  WE believe that We  should have everything figured out in life before you reach 30, 40, 50, etc.  The older we  get, the less opportunity we  think we  have to do something new.

If  We’re determined to do something, it is never too late to start. 

If We  feel like We’re not making any progress in life, or We r just  stuck in a particular situation, We should look  at the type of choices We are making on a consistent basis

We  shouldn't  let age stop us from going after our dreams.” 

The easy choice take no willpower to do. BUT  The right choice take a lot of willpower.
