Why it’s never too late to change your life

Introduction 

Many people used to think that it's already too late to start anything new. We used to see so many people around us who had already given up their hopes. There are people who are 19 years old and think that they are failures, 25 years old who have bowed down to the hardships, 35 years old who have started giving up their hopes and 50 years old who have long forgotten the meaning of their dreams. But if we see and analyze then we will find that success does not have any deadline. According to Forbes, 35 years of age is the best age to start any company. At the age of 23, Oprah was fired from his first job, at 28 JK Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare. Reed Hastings started Netflix at the age of 47, Ray Kroc started his first McDonald at the age of 51 and Morgan Freeman got his first movie role at the age of 52. Today we will see 3 famous personalities who have started their companies very late and became successful.
