You’re Never too old to…

The British novelist and poet C.S Lewis famously declared that you are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. Our passive acceptance toward aging and the consent to its traditional limitations could soon be a thing of the past – chiefly thanks to modern medicine, an improved quality of living and changing attitudes around retirement. We must continue to buck conventional wisdom and confidently affirm – you’re never too old to:
