She's Inspiring At 69
Have you heard about Mamyrock, the new British DJ who is taking Europe by storm? (TimesOnline: http://bit.ly/bY7XBm)
She happens to be a 69-year old grandmother and former “trailing spouse” who started this new career just a handful of years ago. How cool is that?
Simply knowing that she exists inspires and reassures at the same time. And if we needed any more evidence, the reality is that young people love her and clubs from Paris to Istanbul to Singapore and now North America are clamoring to book her. By the way, she got into this new career through “a mutual acquaintance” – that’s right, the trusty networking concept.
So, there’s no need to fear the future as long as we keep putting ourselves out there. Mamyrock is an inspiring role model for those of us who may fear aging, or worry “it’s too late” to start a new career, or feel like we may never achieve our dreams. It’s never too late, so go for it!

Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I’ve been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
Thumbs up, and keep it going!
Cheers

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! Best wishes to you.
So you’d say the same for people coming up into the working world….that they should also put themselves out there to get on the journey to their dreams? Or are we just supposed to grab what we can get and go for the dreams later? (I was just wondering what you’re input would be….) Oh! And this is a great inspiration for all because it gives hope that no matter how old we get/how much of life we experience, something new and exciting is always possible!
Many thanks for your comments. I agree that something new and exciting is always possible. As for the people coming into the working world, I would like to think that once one’s basic human needs are taken care of, then we are free to pursue our dreams. The only thing we cannot make more of is time, so it is best to spend it in pursuit of what we believe is meaningful.
yes, finding out the happy things is never too late in life, especially life is short. I hope being inspired at an early stage could give me more strength over various life events. May, I really look forward to your book about balance of work and life for a woman in the city. Your speech today was passionate and inspirational, I really enjoyed it, thanks for the advice.
Thanks for your comments, Yingge. Glad you feel inspired, and hope you will go forward and inspire others as well!
