  • Better Late Than Never: Inspiring Stories of Success Proving Age is Just a Number
    2025/07/26
    Welcome, listeners. Today we’re exploring the timeless phrase “better late than never,” a saying rooted in history that champions the power of second chances and perseverance. This message, first appearing in English in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales and echoing an even older Latin proverb from Titus Livy, reminds us that it’s always preferable to act late than not at all—no matter how much time has passed.

    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.

  • Better Late Than Never: Inspiring Stories of Success Prove Its Never Too Late to Pursue Your Dreams
    2025/07/19
    Welcome to today’s episode, where we’re diving into the phrase “better late than never” and exploring its deep resonance with the ideas of second chances and perseverance. This saying, rooted in ancient wisdom, first appeared as a Latin proverb and was later popularized by Geoffrey Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales, highlighting the relief and opportunity in doing something late rather than not at all—an enduring reminder that it’s never too late to act or achieve.

    In our world obsessed with youthful achievements, stories of late bloomers are often overshadowed. Yet, success truly has no expiration date. Take Susan Boyle, who, at 47, stepped onto the stage of Britain’s Got Talent and stunned the world. She faced skepticism and setbacks, even a stroke in 2023, but defied every odd to reclaim her place in the spotlight. Her story shows that raw talent and determination can emerge and flourish at any age, and opportunity can arrive just when you least expect it.

    Tina Fey didn’t become Saturday Night Live’s first female head writer until age 30. Vera Wang designed her first wedding dress at 40, after years spent in different careers. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Frank McCourt only published his debut book, Angela’s Ashes, at 66. Each of their journeys tells us that milestones can be reached long after society’s supposed deadlines.

    But still, societal pressures have a way of making us feel like we’re falling behind if we haven’t checked off certain boxes by a certain age. Social media and mainstream success stories can leave many listeners feeling discouraged, as if a missed opportunity is a permanent one. The truth is, there’s profound value in forging your own path and trusting your unique timeline. As Mary Mandell recently reflected in Meawisdom, the experiences and failures amassed along a winding journey often prove valuable, deepening relationships, growth, and sense of purpose.

    Listeners, whether you’re launching a new dream at 25, 45, or 75, remember: nobody else gets to write your story for you. Success is a journey, not a race. It’s always better late than never, so take the step—however delayed it may feel. Your moment might just be waiting around the next corner.

  • Better Late Than Never: Inspiring Success Stories Prove Age is Just a Number in Pursuing Dreams
    2025/07/12
    The phrase better late than never has roots stretching back centuries, but its message is as relevant as ever in 2025. Attributed to both the Roman historian Livy and later popularized in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales in the 14th century, this idiom reassures us that it’s always worthwhile to take action or pursue a goal, even if it happens long after the “ideal” time.

    In a world obsessed with early achievement—where social media often highlights twenty-something prodigies and overnight successes—it’s easy for listeners to feel behind or discouraged. Yet, as the stories of so-called late bloomers show, society’s timelines are not destiny. People like Vera Wang, who entered the fashion world and designed her first dress at 40, or Frank McCourt, who published his Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela’s Ashes at 66, remind us that remarkable accomplishments can come at any stage of life. Even Susan Boyle, who stunned global audiences with her singing at age 47 and returned from a stroke in 2023 to perform once more, embodies the power of perseverance and the reality that talent has no expiration date.

    The pressure to succeed young can make setbacks feel insurmountable. Yet, as Mary Mandell reflected in her essay, being a late bloomer is often a gift. The journey, with its detours and delays, allows for deep relationships, personal growth, and the perspective to see that failures are not flaws but valuable lessons. Tina Fey didn’t become the first female head writer at Saturday Night Live until she was 30, and Morgan Freeman’s iconic film career only took off in his fifties, showing that timelines for success are deeply personal and shouldn’t be dictated by external expectations.

    For every listener feeling like you’ve missed your moment, remember—success doesn’t have an expiration date. Your story is yours to write, and it’s never too late to begin. As the idiom reminds us, better late than never. Pursue your dreams, take that next step, and celebrate every milestone on your own timeline.
