“Age is just a number” could not be more true.
Because some people are literally immature little shits no matter how many years pass. I find it hard to believe that even after graduating college, people can still be exactly as they were in high school. Petty, superficial, unmotivated. At the same time, I’m not even surprised when I think about how ingrained a nature of a person is to their being. Which brings me back to my belief that failure is really because of how a person sees adversity and the consequent choices they make - rather than on their actual intelligence or talent.
