30 isn't older you cheeky fucker!
- lutze 14y agoWow, I suppose I should articulate this a little better. It's easy to lose perspective when you immerse yourself in a culture that celebrates young successful entrepreneurs so much. The comment referring people in their 30s as "older people" belies a pessimistic and unrealistic outlook that this perspective can sometimes give. Just because you aren't Zuckerberg by the time you're 22 doesn't mean your life is over. Thirty is not old. In fact there's no such thing as old, which I would've thought is something this blog is making plain. There's always something new to learn, always opportunities on the horizon.

- jere 14y agoHa. I hope it was obvious it was somewhat of a joke, especially in the context of an article about an 85 year old. Though I also had in mind this Benjamin Franklin quote: "Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five."
- lutze 14y agoYou got me. In my defence, that was a textbook case of Poe's Law.
