Many men have accomplished greatness regardless of their age, they have pursued the dream and achieved it. Susan Boyle became a star at 48, Benjamin Franklin did not add his signature to the Declaration of Independence till he was 70. Ray Kroc at 52 started to make the Mcdonalds brand what it is today, Stan Lee (associated with marvel comics) started his superhero comics when he was 43, Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa at 75, while Alexander the Great had conquered empires by the time he was 23. Jesus had completed his purpose by 33. The Bible mentions Methuselah as the oldest man that ever lived dying when he was 969 years old, his entire life summed up in a verse without any significant accomplishments. Old age does not guarantee wisdom only grey hairs.
Jesus Christ was crucified when he was 33 over 2000 years ago, but we still feel his impact today. Mike Tyson became the youngest Heavyweight champion at 21, while George Foreman the oldest at 40 and was still in pursuit of the championship at 45. Surely "Age aint nothing but a number". David the shepherd boy slew dangerous beasts and warriors as a teenager. Abraham had children in his old age.
A champion is one who does not place significance on age but pursues the dream.
BE THAT CHAMPION!!
