Too old?

Am I too old for this? And if I am, would somebody tell me why?

I have more to offer to this world than at any time in my past, but not in terms of cold hard cash. That is something I don't have, but that is all.

I have the same feelings as when I was seventeen, the same capacity to love, to care, to protect, to succeed, but still people tell me that I am too old. Maybe I will get the last laugh, because it's going to happen to you too and you will be left asking the same question as I am now. Expect no sympathy from me..
