Women Of Twitter Remind Us That Success Doesn’t Come At A Certain Age
The women of Twitter shared their success stories that happened later in life as a gentle reminder that achieving a big dream doesn’t have an age limit. If you’ve ever browsed the self-help section of a bookstore, then you’ve seen the parade of “success by [age]” titles. But there’s no need to push ourselves to achieve monumental things before we really know what we’re doing just because of an arbitrary number.
Screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna felt motivated to share an uplifting message on the social media site on Sunday night. “Nora Ephron was 51 when she directed her 1st movie. Nancy Meyers was 49. Their kids were grown,” her tweet said. “If you’re a woman who writes, acts, edits, ADs, etc. and you’re ready to direct, you’re not too old. I was 47. Tell the people you work with your dream. Put your hand up. Men ask. Ask.
