What are the Most Productive Years of Life?
 
What are the Most Productive Years of Life?

20's?
30's?
40's?
50's?
60's?
65 & over?


I ask because at 40ish...


It occurs to me that there is only so much time in which to make a difference. I need to get to it.

It occurs to me that I need to let go of what was and focus, instead, on what is and will be.

It occurs to me that I need to focus less on what others think of me. I have decided not to let their perception determine my identity or my path.

has to be 40s and 50s

in your 40s (im almost there). you panic and realize you dont have much time left before retirement so you do what you should have done at 25... only you dont have the energy because you waisted it staying up way too late and acting like a fool at 25.

next post for comments on 50s (still need 19 posts)

When you finally hit 50, you are more productive because everyone younger than you thinks your old and therefore have wisdom.....

Once you get to your 60's your kids think you are about as smart as you were when they were 18.

As a 38 year old (soon to be 39), I will be entering my 40's and hope they are MUCH more productive then my 30's. :)

I said 30s because I hope that it will be prophetic.

you spend most of your thirties trying to live down your twenties.

If you didnt do anything to live down, you will likely try to make up for the lost time.

its like being an adolecent all over again. you know you cant play with your baby toys anymore, but when nobody is looking...
