Re: Greatness over 50
Hellow, BGB.
I am wondering why you are drawing this conclusion? I haven't seen anything statistically that supports your premise that age presents an attribute of success that is "unfair".
Are you taking data and looking for anecdotes to exemplify some research findings or trying to posit a theory and then support it?
There is no question that having been in the workplace and life in general has given people more time to amass wealth, develop relationships, gain confidence, finish projects, learn skills and collect knowledge through experience and perspective that comes with age, but we aren't talking about a trait that comes with being fifty, per say.
The reality is that by the time we are 50 we have likely reached or are soon to reach our life's summit and can begin to enjoy the downhill (knees aside,
), but again, that's not an advantage.
If you put two people in a room, one twenty and one fifty, and assign them a task that would yield some measure of success, I would theorize that both have attributes that would actually put them on a level playing field.
This is interesting food for thought.
