WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN,
I WAS TOLD SUCCESS HAD TO
COME IN MY YOUTH.
I FOUND THIS TO BE A MYTH.
MY EXPERIENCES HAVE TAUGHT ME
THAT IF YOU DEEPLY BELIEVE
IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING,
SUCCESS CAN COME AT ANY AGE.
(Abe Vigoda, 1921-2016
age 94 at time of death)
I deeply believe.
Do you?
Yes! Once upon a time, I might have believed that, but now I believe it can come at any age. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! :)
DeleteHave a wonderful week!
I believe.
ReplyDeleteWow, he lived a long life.
I remember him mostly from Barney Miller, and he wasn't a young man then.
DeleteHeck. I'm proof of that! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up, Maria! :)
DeleteThanks for that. I'm not as old as Abe but I'm no youngster. I had different successes when I was young as a teacher and a mother and wife, but my writing success is for my old age. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou've already had writing successes, Susan. Now, just keep going! :)
DeleteOh. Agree, agree, agree. Success has no age limit.
ReplyDelete"Success has no age limit." Love it! :)
DeleteAgree. I must agree or else what am I doing?
ReplyDeleteGood point!
DeleteI absolutely believe. I love this!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Jess!
DeleteI believe it. The late Alan Rickman didn't hit it big until he was in his forties I think with the movie Die Hard.
ReplyDeleteI love him in that movie!
DeleteAmen!!! Love it.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteAbsolutely! Many of us don't even figure out what we want to do until we're a bit older.
ReplyDeleteVery true!
DeleteI've got no choice, as I can't go back in time. ;)
ReplyDeleteExcellent point for us all, JH. :)
DeleteYes, indeed! I deeply believe this.
ReplyDeleteShalom,
Patricia
It really is a great quote/reminder.
DeleteYep, and am still striving toward it. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnna from elements of emaginette
Keep going, Anna! You can do it. We can all do it. :)
DeleteAgreed. As long as we never stop trying, success can happen at any moment. Besides, what is success really? As long as we are happy:) we are golden.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's definition of success is different, and I think it sometimes changes as we get older.
DeleteWhat is success but an unwillingness to give up? And to define success is a mercurial thing. It means something completely different from one person to the next. Truthfully though, I feel more successful the older I get--in the things that matter most.
ReplyDeleteExcellent comment, Crystal! I especially love this - "What is success but an unwillingness to give up?"
DeleteDefinitely. I didn't get published until I was 65, so I'm convinced success can come in multiple waves throughout our lives.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a shining example of this quote, Patricia! :)
