  • Better Late Than Never: Inspiring Stories of Success Prove Achievements Have No Age Limit
    Jul 5 2025
    Today, we’re exploring the phrase better late than never—a timeless reminder that action, even if delayed, is always more valuable than never trying at all. This saying traces its roots to ancient Latin and was popularized in English by Geoffrey Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales over six centuries ago. Its core message continues to resonate, especially in a world often obsessed with youth, speed, and so-called “right timing.”

    Society can pressure us into thinking that opportunities have an expiration date, but stories across recent years show that success—and fulfillment—are not reserved for the early risers or those who get everything right on the first try. Consider Taikichiro Mori, a Japanese professor who turned to real estate in his 50s, eventually becoming the richest man in the world by his late 80s. His daring projects, such as Roppongi Hills, transformed not just neighborhoods, but the perception of what's possible at any age. Or look at Vera Wang, who designed her first dress at age 40, and Frank McCourt, who published his Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela’s Ashes at 66. These late bloomers didn’t just catch up; they excelled, proving that fulfillment and achievement can blossom far beyond conventional timelines.

    The pressure to “make it” early can discourage people, leading to missed dreams and unfulfilled potential. Listeners, if you’ve ever felt like time has passed you by, let these stories be living proof that you create your own timeline. Whether you change careers, launch a creative project, or pursue a long-lost dream, perseverance matters far more than perfect timing.

    As Gladys Burrill, who ran her first marathon at 86, once showed, it’s never too late to start. Take inspiration from those who refused to let age or past setbacks define their future. The world’s greatest achievements often belong to those who simply kept moving forward, no matter how late they began.

    Remember: better late than never isn’t just a catchphrase—it’s a rallying cry for anyone ready to claim a second chance. Your next chapter is yours to write, starting now.

  • Better Late Than Never: Embracing Life's Journey and Finding Success at Any Age
    Jun 28 2025
    Welcome, listeners. Today, we’re diving into a simple phrase with profound meaning: “Better late than never.” This idiom, used for centuries, captures the spirit of not giving up, even when the world says the moment has passed. The phrase traces its roots to ancient Rome, as a translation from the Latin “potiusque sero quam nunquam,” and was made famous in English by Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, where he writes, “for bet than never is late” in the late 1300s. At its heart, “better late than never” reminds us that starting, even after delays, is always better than not starting at all.

    So many of us wrestle with the idea of being too late—too late to change careers, too late to mend relationships, too late to chase a dream. But the stories around us say otherwise. Mary Mandell shared her reflections earlier this year on embracing life as a late bloomer. She described how, after years of chasing traditional markers of success and feeling behind, she found true happiness and deeper connections by forging her own path, even at 70. Mandell’s journey is a testament that fulfillment isn’t bound by age or timelines; pursuing growth, whenever it arrives, can invigorate your life.

    Society often pressures us to follow strict timelines—graduate, get a job, settle down, retire. Those who don’t fit the mold feel left behind. Yet perseverance can defy these scripts. Consider the countless artists, entrepreneurs, and leaders who found their stride later in life after failures or setbacks. Their stories teach us that missed opportunities can become new beginnings, and that our journeys often hold more value than the destination.

    For anyone listening who feels like their chance has passed, remember: “better late than never” is more than an excuse. It’s an invitation. Your dreams and goals are not invalidated by delay. Each step forward, no matter when it’s taken, has the power to reshape your future. So take that first step. The world is still waiting, and your best moments may be just ahead.

  • Better Late Than Never: How Age Is No Barrier to Success and Achieving Your Dreams
    Jun 21 2025
    Listeners, today we’re exploring the timeless phrase "better late than never," a saying that’s been encouraging second chances and perseverance for centuries. Its roots go back to ancient Rome; the Latin proverb potiusque sero quam nunquam appeared in Titus Livy’s “History of Rome” nearly 2,000 years ago. The phrase made its way into English literature thanks to Geoffrey Chaucer, who included a version in “The Canterbury Tales” in 1386. The sentiment? Doing something late is still far better than never doing it at all.

    Modern society often glorifies early achievement and meteoric rise, but success doesn’t always arrive on a schedule. In fact, recent stories abound of late bloomers who shattered expectations and found fulfillment much later than the world might expect. According to a March 2025 feature on late bloomers, Tina Fey didn’t get her big break as head writer for Saturday Night Live until thirty. Vera Wang crafted her first wedding dress at forty, after a career in figure skating and editing. Frank McCourt published his Pulitzer-winning memoir at sixty-six. These individuals prove that greatness isn’t reserved for the young; it’s available to anyone who keeps trying, regardless of age or setbacks.

    Why do so many feel the pressure to “make it” early? Social media, relentless comparison, and society’s obsession with youth can make it seem like time’s always running out. But as the Briar II News recently reminded readers in its 2025 June edition, “Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, yet the youngest you’ll ever be—so enjoy this day while it lasts.” That’s a powerful call to action for anyone feeling left behind.

    Listeners, your dreams do not have an expiration date. Whether you want to launch a business, write a novel, or simply start again after a setback, remember those who went before you—and know that it’s never too late to make a change. Better late than never isn’t just a phrase—it’s an invitation. Your moment might not be on anyone else’s timeline, but it’s yours to seize.
