In reading a recent Twitter post, (RT @fight_ageism: old is not a bad word) the following comes to mind, Chronological Age is Crap! (Hope this word doesn't offend you.)
Think about what you would be doing if you were 20 years younger and go out and do it!
When I am at a speaking event I often have people come up afterwards and ask me my age. I tell them I am 50, then I say, if you can find a 50 year old that does as much as I do, I'll reveal my real age. This usually ends any further questions on the subject. I have written a book on aging, Don't Stop the Career Clock that discusses ageism. Check it out http://www.career-design.com/cda_pubs.html

Being 54 and having to reinvent myself for the umpteenth time in life I and many others find this a valuable share.
