If you’re letting your age stop you from pursuing your dreams of entrepreneurship,
don’t.
While it’s certainly impressive to be a wunderkind,
age has its advantages. A study by the Founder Institute found that businesses
were more likely to succeed as their founders’ age increased up until about age
40.
About 2200 years ago Archimedes stepped into
his bath and exclaimed, “Eureka!”
It means “I found it.” At that moment Archimedes found a solution to a problem he had been pondering for a long time.
It means “I found it.” At that moment Archimedes found a solution to a problem he had been pondering for a long time.
It was a moment of sudden discovery. The
eureka effect. A moment of deep insight. It’s an epiphany which translates as
“striking appearance.” In that moment a previously unsolvable problem
becomes suddenly clear and obvious.

Life can be divided into two periods. Before
you know why you are alive and after. One brainwave that turns a person into a
person on a mission. Here we show the moments that turned famous people onto
their missions.
The moment when
we feel complete
Inconvenience. GoPro
founder who struggled to take a picture of himself while surfing.
Limited resources.
Ikea founder could not fit a table in his small car, so he thought to take off
the legs.
Pain and tragedy. Samuel Morse
received a letter about his wife’s illness after she was already buried.
Letters took a long time back then. He raced to see her, but it was too late.
Grief-stricken, he decided to forever change how people talk to each other and
invented the telegraph.
This completeness moment comes at
different ages. Here are a few examples. Is it ever too late? Some
entrepreneurs had them well into their fifties. Were they thinking it was never too late?

as the calligraphy on his college campus posters

Goals don't come in one size. Some dream big ,
some Others have smaller ambitions. No matter which category you fall into,
don't ever stop reaching for the stars. Even if, like Stu, you miss hitting one
or two of your targets, you will, if you persist, be sure to connect on another.
MY PERSONAL STORY –
I
am talking about myself , I have a business plan when I was in engineering ,
now I am 23 + years means nearly 24
years , still have courage because in present world most of the entrepreneurs
are teen ages. still I have courage to do this even I. know I am a typical Indian
girl , where marriage is first priority but when it comes to my dream , I can
do anything. I also sacrificed many thing for my dream so now I have to balance
my life. An entrepreneur
don’t waste his/her time , let me focus on my GOAL
Only.
My present decision as per my future dream , as if you wanna do all in
the end you will end up with nothing. So my first priority is my dream , let me
make it real first.
Time
and age matters but when it comes to DREAM , IT’S NEVER TOO LATE.
