Too old?

20. Too old?
Raymond Chandler
started writing in his
early 40s after losing his
job as an oil-industry
executive during the
great depression. His
first novel The Big Sleep
was published in 1939.
He was 51.

21. Too old?
The average age at
which Nobel laureates
make their prizewinning
breakthroughs was
recently found to be 48.
Harry Kroto, who won
the chemistry prize in
1996, made his when he
was 46.

22. Too old?
Philosopher Mary Midgley
had brought up three
children and worked as a
lecturer in provincial British
universities for more than 20
years when she published
her first book at the age of
56. Later she remarked: "I
wrote no books until I was a
good 50, and I'm jolly glad
because I didn't know what I
thought before then." Her
most recent book, The
Solitary Self: Darwin and the
selfish gene, was published
in 2010, when Midgley was
91.

Ultramarathon runner Marco
Olmo started running in his
20s but didn't win his first big
title until he was 50. In 2006,
aged 58, he won the 166kilometre Ultra-Trail du MontBlanc – considered one of
the world's toughest races –
and proved it wasn't a fluke
by winning again the next
year.

36. Your turn to blog ...

37. Technology & Community & Openness
But blogging was the cheapest, most risk-free
investment I could have made of my personal
time into my job. You start by writing down
things that are interesting to you, practices you
don’t want to forget. And then you start trying
new things just so you can blog about them
later, picking them apart, and dialoging over
them with strangers. Periods of stagnancy in
your blogging start to correspond to periods of
stagnancy in your teaching. You start to muse
on your job when you’re stuck in traffic, in line
for groceries, that sort of thing. That
transformation has been nothing but good for
me and it all began on a free Blogspot blog.
