Several years ago Jim Collins spoke at the Global Leadership Summit and shared some practical insight from Peter Drucker.
He explained that after Drucker died, Collins spoke at an event in his honor and had the opportunity to step into his office. On one bookshelf someone had arranged his 35 books in the order in which he wrote them. Collins remarked that when he put his finger on the book he wrote at age 65, 2/3’s of the books were still to the right, written after he turned 65. Old age never slowed him down. Rather, his age seemed to spur him to even greater productivity.
My take: if you’re not dead, you’re not done. Don’t make excuses for why you can’t. Figure out how you can.
