Loved this! I believe this to be so true...it's never too late! I got my masters degree at 59 after a brain surgery and kept going at 63 after a second brain surgery. I am now almost 73 and in the last two years have learned Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop in order to do surface pattern design "on the side." I still see clients in private practice. Sometimes I feel crazy for not limiting myself, but I truly feel I'm living life the best way.

Linda your story inspires me! I too had brain surgery 5 years ago. That’s the reason I’m writing my blog today. Life happens for us! Keep on going!

Great post, Tarek! The least inspiring and boring stories are ones without challenges and obstacles to overcome. And we also can’t grow without them!

It’s counter cultural to embrace failure, but it’s the best teacher there is! Here’s to not being boring Mike!
