Good one, check the URL about the 100 year old graduating from Baylor University.
The second URL has a grandmother about to graduate at the same time as her grand daughter.
Enjoy and have a pleasant day.

Col. Sanders started KFC at 65 years of age.
John Brown had failed at everything he tried until he stood up as an abolitionist at Harper's Ferry. I think he was over 50 or close to it at the time.
Frank McCourt won the Pulitzer Prize for his 1995 masterpiece, "Angela's Ashes". Frank was born in 1930.
How's that?

I'm not sure about "Great Things", but I didn't start my business until I was 53, and I'm doing very well.
I don't have a big company, but my sales will be about $800,000.00 this year, my second year as a corporation.
My life time goal is to have a successful business, and I seem to be doing OK.
My only regret is that I didn't start 30 years earlier!
