something they would like to accomplish.
Big or small — it can happen.
You’re never too YOUNG....or too OLD.

All of this points to one thing:
YOU CAN DO IT.  AGE DOESN’T MATTER.
Add you name to the list — be an example to others.
But do it for yourself.
Don’t let ANYTHING impede
you from accomplishing your dream —
not heartache, not failure, not discouragement,
not time, not family, not work, NOT AGE.
Don’t let anything stop you.
Choose to take that first step TODAY.
Don’t delay.
Step by step, inch by inch,
with determination and perseverance,
you will eventually see the fruits of your labor.
It will happen.
No dream is too small
No dream is insignificant.
The key is.....START.  GET GOING.  DO IT.
If you have to take a pause, do it.
But don’t let the pause be permanent.
You may have to take several pauses, 
but keep moving, keep going.
Don’t regret that you could have
done something, but did nothing.
Accomplish. Achieve. Succeed.
Those 10 people in the list above did it.
So can you.  Age doesn’t matter.
