About this Quote

It is a suggestion that age should not be an obstacle to accomplishing our dreams, which we must never ever give up on them. It is a call to action to maintain striving for our goals and to never ever allow age be a restriction. It is a tip that age is just a number, and that we ought to never ever allow it define us.
