Don’t ever quit a job and say, “I am retired; I am old; I
am finished.” That would be stagnation, death, and you would
be finished. Some men are old at 30, while others are young
at 80 – The mind is the master weaver, the architect, the
designer, and the sculptor, George Bernard Shaw was active
at 90, and the artistic quality of his mind had not relaxed from
active duty. I meet men and women who tell me that some
employers almost slam the door in their faces when they say
they are over 40. This attitude on the part of the employers
is to be considered cold, callous, evil, and completely void of seems compassion and understanding. The total emphasis
to be on youth, i.e., you must be under 35 years of age to
receive consideration. The reasoning behind this is certainly
very shallow. If the employer would stop and think, he would
realize that the man or woman was not selling his age or gray
hair, rather, he was willing to give of his talents, his experience,
and his wisdom gathered through years of experience in the
market place of life.
