A Lesson From Alferd

I recently came across a news article from CNN detailing the life of Alferd Williams. Alferd is learning to read with the other first-graders at Edison Elementary School in St. Joseph, Missouri.

The only difference between Alferd and his classmates is that Alferd is 70 years old.

He never got an education when he was younger because he had to work on his family farm. However, he did promise his mother that one day he would get the education she always wanted for him.

And now, he’s reinventing himself at the still quite young age of 70 years old.

Alferd should be an inspiration to anyone out there who is stuck in a rut and feels like they can’t achieve anything because they think that their time has come and gone.

This is the furthest thing from the truth. In fact, every day I seem to hear another story of a so-called “golden-ager” doing something remarkable.

For example, not an hour ago, an associate of mine came into my office and recounted to me how, last night, his 67-year-old mother surprised his entire family by inviting all of them to her karate class graduation.

She kept the class secret from everyone because she didn’t want anyone to worry about her health problems (she has osteoporosis) and how a karate class might negatively affect her health.

An even more remarkable footnote: she’s not the oldest person in the class. One of her karate classmates is 75 years old and, believe it or not, before the class, used a walker on a semi-regular basis.

You see, it’s never too late to start something remarkable. Whether it’s learning to read like Alferd Williams, taking a karate class, or starting a new dream business, your age shouldn’t keep you from doing anything you want to do.
