このコンテンツについて
Life rarely unfolds according to one master schedule. Societal pressures can make us believe there’s an expiration date for chasing dreams, but the real world is full of extraordinary stories that show otherwise. Take Katharine Graham, who didn’t lead The Washington Post until age 45 after personal tragedy forced her into a role she never thought she could fill. Her tenacity and quiet resolve transformed her into one of publishing’s most respected leaders.
Or consider Vera Wang, who designed her first wedding dress at 40, after earlier careers as a skater and magazine editor. Samuel L. Jackson landed his breakout acting role at 46, and Ray Kroc launched the McDonald’s empire at 52. Frank McCourt published his first award-winning memoir in his sixties, a testament that it’s never too late to tell your story. Gladys Burrill started running marathons in her eighties, becoming the oldest marathon finisher ever at age 92, while contemporary artist Takashi Murakami didn’t achieve international fame until his late thirties.
According to Big Think, late bloomers often develop quietly, building the resilience and drive that ultimately power their later success. Recent commentary in 2025 highlights how today’s culture is increasingly recognizing that each person’s journey unfolds on its own timeline. The stories of these individuals remind us that setbacks, detours, or delayed opportunities are not endpoints; in fact, they can be the foundation of lasting achievement.
Listeners, if you’ve ever felt like you missed your chance, remember the enduring wisdom of “better late than never.” Your timeline is your own, and every new effort is an opportunity for a second act. The world’s greatest contributions often come from those who simply refused to give up, no matter how long it took.
