There’s much celebration of Youth these days. CEOs in their twenties.  Which is not a bad thing. But “Quarter Life Crisis”?

Let us not forget:

• Somerset Maugham wrote his last book at eighty-four.
• Verdi was still composing operas in his eighties.
• Grandma Moses painting in her eighties.
• Nola Ochs, the world’s oldest graduate at 95.
• George Bernard Shaw was writing plays in his nineties.
• Col Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken at 65.
• Peter Roget published Roget’s Thesaurus at 73.
• Laura Wilder wrote Little House on the Prairie series in her sixties
