How Old Are You? (8/3/12) If we did not know our age, some of us
would appear to be very young, and some of us would seem very
old. Sometimes, people use age as a convenient excuse. “I’m too
old to start something new”, or, “I couldn’t learn that at my
age.” Other people, though, go on to achieve their greatest
accomplishments in life in later years. Take, for example,
Colonel Harland Sanders who started franchising his chicken
outlets when he was 65 years old. Up to the age of 90 years old
he traveled 250,000 miles a year visiting KFC franchises. He not
only overcame personal and business adversities, but more
importantly, he didn’t let age stand in his way! Feelings lead
to attitudes, attitudes become beliefs, and beliefs become the
basis for actions. It is not important how old you are; it is
how you feel, how you think, and what you do that is important.
To quote Satchel Paige, “How old would you be if you didn’t know
how old you was?”
