This is what 50-60 year old professionals look like. And, it's no anamoly. We're everywhere; still passionate, with an acute awareness of life's preciousness, enhanced by the seasoning of irreplaceable life experience. Time to rethink some things, me thinks... #fageism Katy J Arnovick
Let me know if there is room for a 70+ year old!
I love this, Wendy. Keep being an inspiration.
Love that you are living your best life. you go, girl!
Love this!! we are all young at heart and we have so much ass-kicking we can still do.
Wendy, you rock! The best and the coolest! Miss you much.
I was just thinking about this today. I’m just as talented as I was 30 years ago except now I have decades more perspective and experience. I can see why they wouldn’t want me around.
Working with "seasoned professionals" is something I cherish. As Eddie Sotto pointed out, reaching a certain age while using one's life to do meaningful things (user's choice) is a privilege. While I don't even consider it to be advanced age, I'm 74, and no, I'm not retired, and won't be anytime soon (I hope), because, why? Working with show people as an engineer is about as cool as it gets. And some things have taken me about 50 years to figure out and I'd like to be able to use that knowledge and pass those things onto others. If wisdom comes from the experience of dealing with one's mistakes, then I have decades of broken things we can talk about. Keeping current with relevant engineering technology (for me) provides an age-neutral foundation to work with others, who often have much less "seasoning". I, like many of us, still live for those "do you even think this is possible?" phone calls and meetings. Although, to be honest, those early morning flights and long drives now seem both earlier and longer than they used to be, but I guess that's just part of the process. I see a lot of my "seasoned" friends have also commented here, so Thank You for this post Wendy Heimann-Nunes
I apreciate the thought... so do I have to show gang signs and get aTattoo to seem "younger" and then be more relevant ?
