Answer by Dee Dees on Quora. By the time people reach their 70s, they’re beginning to look back at the plans they made and dreams they had that never materialized. We always think we’ll achieve a goal when we finish school, or after we’re married, or after the kids are grown, or after we retire, and then one day we look up — and all those things have happened and we still haven’t realized our dreams. That being said, the first thing I’d tell young people is “Start now.” Whatever you’re thinking you’d like to do someday — start now.
