We hear about all the young people making a big deal of their successes in their early years. Twenty-something tech gurus or entrepreneurs that make their fortune early.

Who here is past 45-50 and maybe made a switch or restarted and found success and a modicum of happiness in their new position?

Well, maybe you should give people at least some kind of idea of what to expect, if you want them to follow your advice. Does it change your perspective? Does it ground you? Or do you just like silent outside spaces that have a sense of order to them?
