An old recipe for success

With age comes experience and with experience comes success. So yes, age does matter when it comes to how successful you can become. If someone is young and gets into a new venture and finds success, good for him. It is good to hear such news. But there is a lot of luck that comes into play when you get successful in a very short span of time. The real path to success is when you fall down and then get back up and work hard for a certain number of years. You have to struggle and put in the hard work. Also, you should not limit yourself to a certain age thinking that if I struggle for five years I’ll become successful and if not, I’ll quit. Regardless of which age you are at, you have to put in the hard work and keep going. In the past five to ten years, because of social media, many people have become very successful in a short span of time but the one-off success stories just prove that people can get lucky. The actual formula for success remains the same – you have to work hard.
