Age is just a number, or so they say. But in today’s digital age, it seems like ageism is alive and well, especially on social media platforms. Comments like “Stop bro. You expired” are not uncommon for those who don’t fit the mold of the younger, tech-savvy generation.

But should age really be a determinant of one’s value or worth in this rapidly evolving world? Ray Kroc didn’t think so when he revolutionized the fast-food industry at 52, and Samuel L Jackson proved age is just a number when he found mainstream success in his 40s.

Even more inspiring is the story of Diana Nyad, who swam from Cuba to Florida at the age of 64 after numerous failed attempts. Her story is a reminder that determination and perseverance know no age limits.

As the world continues to evolve at breakneck speed, the need to reinvent oneself becomes crucial. Social media platforms like LinkedIn and TikTok offer older individuals a chance to showcase their expertise and skills, proving that age is not a barrier to success.

So, the next time someone tells you to stop because you’ve expired, remind them of the countless individuals who defied ageist stereotypes and achieved greatness. After all, age is just a number, but determination and resilience are timeless.
