We're never too old to change that's what makes humans unique.

It's never too late. Don't limit yourself just because you are afraid you are too old.
It's never too late! The oldest college graduate was 90 years old. People are really pushing the envelope these days, and defying old norms. If you want to do something new, go for it!! And good for you for thinking about it.
52-55 no later or even if you make it you wont have time to succeed in it.
Age is irrelevant, there's always time...



On the other hand, the earlier we realize our mistakes, the longer we reap the benefits of that correction
100 years old. In other words, I don't think it's ever to late to change. I think it's about mind set and whether or not you allow %26quot;being too old for..blank%26quot; as an excuse not to take a risk that will ultimately change you and your life...and probably for the better.
you're going to get a lot of %26quot;never%26quot; answers because its true
I know everyone wants to say it's never too late to change, but that is a misrepresentation. There really isn't an age, but there is a point where certain types of changes become very difficult, if not impossible. To really determine if something is changed, you sort of need enough time to test the actuality of that change. For instance, if you're on drugs until 70, and decide you are not going to do them any longer, and die of a heart attack the following morning... Your eulogy will probably say you turned your life around at the very end, however, not exactly... you just died before anyone could tell. The issue is, you can want to change at any age, but rather or not you actually have the ability, and time to follow through with your desire is not as easy. If you choose to go back to school, change jobs, or whatever late in life, it should be a hobby rather than an attempt to change your life.
I believe nobody is ever too old to change something about themselves, even if it's something little or something huge. Just believe in yourself and follow your heart, if you want to change something in your life then do so.

Don't let others tell you different.
Honestly, I grapple with this myself. I %26quot;beleive%26quot; that other people have strong views about hanging up your hat when you get older. I have let this view influence how I feel and what I pursue.



However, truth be told, it should never be too late....and different societies view age differently.

If you have a talent, a gift, if you have dreams and goals, ones age should not be the one reason you stop.



There will be those of us, who have the strength to change the modern American perception that older age hinders us. I think %26quot;Cougars%26quot;, (older women dating younger men) a new trend in our society, and the likes of stars who made it in their 40's (Josh Holloway-LOST, Susan Boyle-American Idol) are paving the way for an enlightened America where Age is not a factor when you have talent, skills, and a dream.
Well... The truth of the matter is we are all changing constantly. It may be in small ways or it may be in big ways. We tend to measure change by its importance in our lives. If you smoke two packs a day and wake up one day and quit, then you recognize a significant life style change. But the truth is we change every day by adapting to our environment. Life teaches us to change, it becomes a matter of survival that many of us never even know we do. Our life experiences can propel us through change or constrain us from moving forward. We develop patterns in our life that we must recognize, good or bad. These patterns dictate how we handle certain situations. For example if you had always let your spouse pay the bills then they became ill and you were thrust into the role of bill payer, you may not adapt as well as you hoped. Then again you may realize that you enjoy this and find yourself much better at it than your spouse. Change can be exhilarating and give you a new lease on life too. I find that the secret to change is to know yourself. Know your limitations and recognize the good and bad patterns you may have developed over the years. Recognize the consequences of the changes you want to voluntarily make and be prepared to adapt to outside influences that make us involuntary make changes. Changes like having your grown children move in with their children. Or maybe your older and want to have a child. The scenarios are endless and that is why adaptability is so important.
