You Are Never Too Old to Achieve

You Are Never Too Old to Achieve

If you think that you are too old to go back to school to earn your high school diploma or college degree, think again.  You are never too old to achieve your dreams, and to improve your life.

Earning a diploma or degree is a life changing experience for many people.  That exhilerating feeling of accomplishment is a rush you don't get often.  Maybe you are in your 20's, 30's, or older and would like to increase your career and income potential.  Perhaps you have retired and don't have much to do with your time, and need to keep your mind busy.

If you need inspiration, here is a list of the names of 10 achievers after the age of 87:

  1. At age 100, Grandma Moses was painting

  2. At 99 years of age, David Eugene Ray of Franklin Tennessee started to learn to read

  3. At 97, Martin Miller of Indiana was working full-time as a lobbyist for senior citizens

  4. At 96, Kathryn Robinson Everett was practicing law in North Carolina

  5. At 93, Mystery writer Phyllis Whitney published her 76th book, AMETHYST DREAMS

  6. At 91, Armand Hammer actively headed Occidental Petroleum

  7. At 90, Pablo Picasso was producing drawings and engravings

  8. At 88, Michelangelo prepared architectural plans for the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli

  9. At 88, Doris Eaton Travis graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in history

  10. At 87, Mary Baker Eddy founded the Christian Science Monitor


You are never too old to achieve that one thing in life that you have dreamed about.  You are only as old as you feel!  Go for it, earn your high school diploma or your college degree online.  It is convenient, you don't have to leave home, and you can do it at your own pace.
