great post. Really, age is meaningless, the more meaningful number is how much time does one have left. Of course, nobody knows this with any certainty, so just proceed every day as if it were your last or the beginning of the next 1000 days, take your pick. (Yes, I understand at the extremes of age, odds start weighing heavily, but we're talking about 50 vs. 30 here).

I teach guitar, sometimes I'll get an older student, a beginner, who will ask, "Is it too late for me, I'm going to be 30 (40/50/60..) in x year". I always tell them, well, you are going to be 30 (40/50/60..) anyhow, lets just get on w/doing something you want to do.
